Air ducts have to be replaced for a number of reasons; the core purpose is, to improve the efficiency of the ventilation system and insulation system and to reduce the wastage of electrical units.
The importance of a clean duct is undeniable; it is crucial that the ducts are performing at the optimum levels to get the perfect temperature settings inside a house. Sometimes, to ensure that level of accuracy, a replacement is necessary.
Fluctuating temperatures and the sudden rise in the moisture level inside the house are some of the indicators which are telling you that your duct may have become obsolete and requires an immediate replacement. You may have gotten the ducts removed and availed a clean-up service recently, for repair reasons, but the problems are still showing up. Those reoccurring problems may be telling you that the duct has become obsolete beyond repair and won’t work any better.
Whatever the cause or causes may be, we can deal with the replacement works and its supportive works too.
Air ducts get damaged due to a number of factors such as age, poor design, and rodent damage. Damaged ductwork or air duct leaks can affect the indoor environment in many ways like:
Cold air is lost through the leaks before it gets the chance to cool down the indoor space. This makes your HVAC system work harder, using more energy and drives your utility bills up.
The leaks allow contaminants to pollute the circulating air. These contaminants include mold, dust, mites, pollen, bacteria, asbestos and, other allergens. They are potential health hazards.
Damaged ductworks also eats more servicing cost in the long run and affects your pocket negatively.
Room temperature varying greatly and fluctuating randomly without any other electrical issues indicates that the duct is malfunctioning and may require a replacement. If the air duct system was functioning efficiently it would have circulated the warm and cool air uniformly and there wouldn’t have been sudden cold or hot spots.
A sudden increase in humidity noticed inside the room may also be pointing to duct malfunctioning.
These issues may be solved only by a replacement, but only after thorough inspection and possible repairs. Attic Chief repairs air ducts as well as replaces them to keep your HVAC system efficient, comfortable and clean. We can also upsize air ducts to get more air to the desired room in your home or building.
Cost of ductwork removal is based on several factors. These include the size per square footage of the home and the number of vents allocated.
The cost of the duct material can vary by region and is subject to the type of material, its specifications such as inside diameter, the linear footage and whether it is insulated or non-insulated.
The type of duct material your HVAC contractor chooses will depend on parameters specific to your installation. Most duct system installations require a combination of different duct materials to accommodate the structure.
Other factors to consider is if the home is one or two stories, the location of the ductwork, and the cost of repairs to walls, ceilings, or floors in which the ductwork was installed.
For larger homes or homes where the network of ductwork may be more involved or challenging because the ducts were networked around trusses, the replacement cost will be higher and would take longer.
We will suggest various options from which you can choose from or you can buy the materials separately and contact us for the assembling work only. Replacement of ducts and vents are big projects and can be a big investment so it’s better to get it done right in one attempt.
