[/imageframe][title size=”2″ content_align=”left” style_type=”none” sep_color=”” margin_top=”15px” margin_bottom=”” class=”” id=””]Air Ductwork Inspection & Repair[/title][fusion_text]The air-distribution ductwork has been found to be only 60-75% efficient in many houses.* This means 1/4 to 1/3 of the cooled or heated air is lost due to ductwork leaks and / or poorly insulated ductwork.
A ductwork air-leakage test can be performed to determine how much air the entire ductwork is leaking. It’s called a Static Air Pressure Test. The test measures the amount of air going into the HVAC system (through the Return-Air Ducts). Next, the amount of air coming from the system (through the Supply-Air Ducts) is measured.
If the test shows Air-Pressure results to be too low, there is air leaking from the ductwork. If the test shows Air-Pressure results are too high, this means there is a air blockage in ductwork. If your home tests low, you are sending cooled and heated air into the attic. If your home tests too high, there is less airflow due to a blockage. This typically results in some rooms too warm or cool while others are not warm / cool enough. Both problems cause the HVAC system to run longer than is required. This increases electricity bills, shortens the life of the A/C, and reduces your comfort because the system is not performing at its peak ability and efficiency.
