DUCT REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT

Most homes rely on a ventilation system to distribute cool air in the summer from the air conditioner, and warm air in the winter from the furnace or other forced-air heater. The ventilation network is made up of ducts that run through walls, ceilings, and the attic to reach the various vents placed around the house.
​
The ducts in your home go through plenty of stress throughout the year, and sometimes this leads to breaks and leaks that will need repairs. In some cases, substandard ducts or a poor initial installation job will require replacing parts of the ductwork with new sections. Whenever you need duct repairs or replacements, call Oaks Heat & Air. We have technicians who will see that your ducts are put back in the best condition possible so you receive maximum comfort and energy efficiency from your HVAC system.

Since you cannot see most of the ductwork in your house, it’s not always easy to tell when it needs repair work. However, there are a few warning signs to watch for:

• Spikes in energy bills: Leaks and breaks in ducts can cause a loss of up to 30% of the air inside them. That means a lot of money going to waste to heat or cool air that you never receive. If your energy bills take a sudden rise, but the heater or air conditioner still seems to be running fine, the problem might be with faulty ductwork.
• Drop in indoor air quality: Large gaps in the ventilation system will start to allow dust and dirt from closed–off parts of the house, leading to a decline in the air quality.
• Low airflow from vents: If the airflow coming from the room vents feels sluggish, it might be because of a drop in air pressure due to damaged ductwork.

Amateur work on duct systems is one of the leading reasons that people need to schedule duct replacement services in the first place. It’s a simple fact that many duct installations in home were of initially inferior quality, and this poor ventilation system configuration creates extra stress on the HVAC system and lowers its overall efficiency. Replacing these ducts sections can significantly improve general air conditioning and heating performance, and this work should only be entrusted to skilled professionals. This goes for small repairs as well: it takes special equipment to restore ducts to airtight condition, and only trained technicians can perform the job accurately.
