Many area homeowners rely on their ductwork in Sanford, NC, but don’t think about it much. The Department of Energy estimates that the average home loses 20% to 40% of its ducted air conditioning. That’s a significant amount, and if you’re experiencing those losses, 72 Degrees Heating & Air Conditioning HVAC company can help you do something about it. One option is to restore your ducts to like-new condition. If that isn’t viable, you can remove the old ducts and replace them.
We love this company! This isn't the first time we've hired them to replace a unit for us, and our experience was so good the first time, they are our go-to phone call whenever we have heating/air needs.
The DOE’s estimated ducted air conditioning losses are due to air leakage. This is where air seeps out of the ductwork and into the attic or other space. Some air leakage is normal. Even in new ducts, leakage can be as high as 4%. At 20% or higher, your system uses considerably more electricity.
The industry recommendation is to schedule a ductwork inspection at least every other year. Seasonal tune-ups don’t include a duct camera inspection, but you can schedule these services at the same time. Our camera system can reveal excessive dust accumulation, worn seals, damaged duct walls, and other issues.
Even in the cleanest homes, dust will accumulate in the ducts over time. That dust can undermine your indoor air quality. It can also reduce airflow that leads to reduced comfort and energy efficiency. To clean ducts, we use a high-powered vacuum, which removes all the dust from the ducts. This system also creates negative air pressure to ensure no dust gets into the home.
If your ducts have damage, there is a range of solutions. Sealing can restore the seals between duct sections to eliminate air leakage. You can replace those sections that are beyond repair. New hardware can restore proper mounting. It’s also possible to insulate ducts that are letting your cooling escape through heat transfer.
If your ducts are 30 years old or older, it may be better to replace them. Replacement is an opportunity to redesign your ducts using modern practices. Modern duct technology can lower your cooling costs significantly.
Regular care of your ducted air conditioning can provide many benefits:
Quieter cooling
Lower cooling costs
Longer equipment lifespan
Smaller household carbon footprint
Fresher home and better indoor air quality
