Air Duct Repair Near Eagle County, CO

The most obvious way to tell if your air ducts are leaking is if you find that you’re always running your heating and cooling unit, but your home never seems to reach the desired temperature (or some rooms are more comfortable than others). A common misconception amongst homeowners is that their air conditioner and furnace are the ones to blame in this situation, but it is typically your air ducts that are to blame. If you suspect that your air ducts are leaking, call Plumbing System Inc. to have a heating and cooling professional take a look and help diagnose the issue.

If your air ducts are leaking, the best way to fix them is to have a professional at Plumbing System Inc. do so. A Plumbing System Inc. professional will use cement mastic to seal your ducts which will also help keep other contaminants out and significantly reduce energy costs.

Your ducts need to be insulated even though they are sealed because your air ducts can still lose energy otherwise. Even if you have a perfectly balanced system with no leaks, your air ducts can still lose energy. Imagine how sweltering hot the air inside your attic gets in the summertime. Now imagine how effective your bare sheet metal ductwork is if it passes through your attic without insulation. All the cold, conditioned air you are trying to cool your house with is being warmed as it passes through ducts that are not insulated. Some studies have shown that the same amount of energy lost via leaks can also be lost due to a lack of insulation.
