Setting the Gold Star Standard Since 1958

Have you noticed recently that you're running your air conditioning unit more often to little effect? It's getting increasingly hot during the summers, but the indoors aren't provided much relief. Your AC runs all day and never seems to stop.

You may have a problem with your HVAC system. There's also a good chance you have some small holes or tears in your ductwork that are affecting your home's airflow.

Here's why you may need air duct sealing and how it can benefit your home.

What Causes Holes in Ductwork?

First of all, it's important to know what causes holes in your ductwork.

Older duct material naturally wears out over time. While they can last you 20 years or more, they can still develop damage from a number of different factors.

One thing that can damage your air ducts is physical impacts. This may happen if you like to store things in your attic space alongside them.

Another source of damage is from animals getting into your ducts. This can happen in both the cold winters and the hot summer months. Their bodies act as huge blockages in your duct system as well, and it's even worse if they die up there.

The Benefits of Air Duct Sealing

A routine air duct inspection can spot any problems with your HVAC system. Paying for an air duct repair job will benefit your home in three different ways. You can boost overall airflow, improve your air quality, and lower your monthly utilities.

Improved Heating and Cooling

Air duct sealing is one way to keep your home cool during the summer and warm in the winter.

If there are any holes in your ductwork, then that means any air that is getting heated or cooled escapes into your attic or floor space. It doesn't make its way through your vents to where it's supposed to go. You may have to run your systems for much longer just to get the expected results.

Better Air Quality

Sealing holes in your ducts will improve the overall air quality in your home. If cool air can escape your ducts, then that means dust and particulate can get in. That foreign airborne material then gets circulated throughout your home and can cause various health problems.

Lower Energy Bills

In addition to improving the quality of airflow in your home, you can also expect lower energy bills. If you're running your AC more often to cool or warm your home, then you're going to use more energy. That results in higher utilities and can put extra wear and tear on your system.

Hire HVAC Experts Today

It's easy for problems with your ductwork to go unnoticed for months at a time. Unless you get regular servicing, you may think it could be any number of problems with your system. However, air duct sealing will bring immediate benefits to your home after it's done.

"I am so impressed with Burnside!!! I will never even consider using anyone else. I was u def a lot of pressure and the heating system was not working correctly and they found a minor inexpensive solution. Another local vendor charged way more for a similar situation. I immediately sighed up for their annual program. God bless them."
