The Importance of Routine Duct Inspection

Are you planning to buy a new house? Or perhaps you’re thinking about what other tasks you should add to your home maintenance list? Regardless, you should never overlook your HVAC system, particularly the ductwork. This component plays a key role in maintaining optimal comfort levels in your home.

 Routine Duct Inspection

Read on as Home Air Services, one of the trusted  home heating companies  in the region, discusses why duct inspection is so important.

Better energy efficiency.  According to the U.S. Department of Energy, an average American home loses about 30-40% of energy through duct leaks. Not only does this cause your HVAC system to work harder, but it can cause your utility costs to spike as well. That’s why it pays to inspect the ducts at least once every three to five years. Ducts can sag, crack and leak over time, and checking on their condition now and then allows you to address these issues as soon as possible.

Better indoor comfort.  Dirt, dust, and other debris in the ductwork will prevent air from flowing freely throughout your home, which can put stress on your HVAC system. Not only that, but it also won’t be able to meet your heating or cooling needs.

An  air conditioner maintenance  and inspection can help you determine if your ducts are dirty and need to be cleaned. In turn, you can maintain consistent home temperatures without worrying about high energy costs.

Better air quality.  Pollutants like soot, dander and pollen can accumulate in your ducts over time. Once they build up, they’ll end up in the heated and cooled air that flows throughout your living space. Dirty ducts can also generate foul odors. With regular duct inspection and cleaning, you can be sure that the air circulating in your home is clean.
