Duct Repair & Duct Sealing in Knoxville

Old, Leaky Ducts in Knoxville Could Cost You

Ductwork is a key part of your Knoxville home’s heating and air conditioning system. When it’s working right, it provides abundant comfort throughout your house.

A normal home leaks 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of weakly connected ducts and holes in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your equipment work harder and lead to bigger home energy costs.

There are a few indications that your home has ducts that need to be repaired or replaced:

Utility expenses are going up.

Rooms feel stuffy.

Ductwork runs through an uninsulated area, like an attic, crawl space or garage.

Your HVAC system is extremely noisy.

Ductwork Doesnt Last Forever

If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be compatible with today’s high-efficiency HVAC technology. Ducts and their related pieces—seams, seals and joists—begin to fail around 15 years. They arrive at their maximum usefulness around 20 to 25 years.

Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the year. These shifts over the years can cause it to break apart and leak. Leaks can hike your energy bills and lead to poor indoor air quality. Cracked ducts can bring in and diffuse pollen, dust and other impurities.

Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could house some of your ductwork. Condensation can occur during periods of high humidity, causing rust to eat through the metal.

5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

There are a few other signs that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
2.Your home is excessively dusty, or allergies are worse at home.
3.You can’t regulate the temperature in specific rooms.
4.You can see ducts that are crushed.
5.You smell a strong mildew smell when your HVAC system is running.

Having R & M Climate Control Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning install new ductwork can make your home cozier—and healthier—through improved temperature management and air quality. Plus, it can increase your furnace’s and air conditioner’s efficiency.
Loose, Uninsulated Ducts Can Drive Up Energy Bills

An inefficient home can leak up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Holes in your air ducts can further compound, lowering efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

Leaks can also bring in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that are supposed to be discharged in open air. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces produce small amounts of CO during normal use.

Depend on the Experts at R & M Climate Control Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning when you need duct repair. We can seal air ducts and insulate them too. This can keep you more comfortable and possibly decrease your utility expenses. A sealed and insulated duct system is also essential when you’re installing a new HVAC system.
