The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that the average residential duct system loses 20% to 40% of heating and cooling. This is a significant amount that undermines your home’s comfort and affects your wallet, too. If you’re worried about your ducts, consider Snowbird Heating & Cooling for duct repair in Lake Wales, FL. Our technicians can repair or replace your ductwork to overcome your HVAC problems.

Air leakage is why you can lose as much as 40% of your conditioned air. As the air leaks out, it’s replaced by air from the attic, which can impact air quality. It can be challenging to tell if you’re experiencing leakage. The industry recommends a duct camera inspection at least every other year.
We’ll evaluate every aspect of your ducts using a high-definition camera. Dust accumulates in ductwork over time, and if homeowners haven’t had their ducts checked in a while, we’ll often find an abundance of it. This can negatively affect air quality as well.
In that case, we may recommend duct cleaning. We use a high-powered vacuum to remove dust from your ducts. One of the most common causes of ductwork leakage is worn seals. Your duct network has a series of sections that join together.
The seals prevent the air from leaking out through those joints. An effective way to replace those seals is to spray a non-toxic aerosol. The U.S. EPA has approved and funded the development of this method. Manual sealing is also an option.
That can include using mastic sealant to restore seals and close punctures in duct walls. We can also replace entire sections that are beyond repair. If your ducts are older than 25 years, you may want to consider duct replacement instead. It will cost you more now but will likely save you money over 25 years.
Knowledge of ducts has advanced greatly over the last couple of decades. We can apply that information to your home to help you be more comfortable and save money.
