How are your air ducts doing? If you say anything from “pretty good” to “I have no idea,” then this blog post is definitely for you. Air ducts are kind of a wildcard when it comes to the condition of your HVAC system. They sit in the dark, in places that are hard to inspect or reach, but they’re still incredibly important for the functionality and comfort of your home. Unless you’ve got a ductless HVAC system, they’re going to be integral to everything that we talk about here on this blog.
Ductwork is an extremely important part of HVAC systems. While they’re never in the spotlight, that’s reserved for your air conditioning or heating unit, they probably deserve more attention than they usually get. You see, in order for your conditioned or heated air to reach you, it has to travel through your ductwork and ventilation system. If there are any problems with that, then your energy-efficient air conditioner isn’t going to seem so efficient as it leaks conditioned air into the basement or crawlspace of your home.
