Bad Ducts Are No Joke

Monday, April 17th, 2023

Ductwork might seem like a small part of your overall HVAC system, but in reality, that’s not really the case. An air duct on the outside might just seem like a few pieces of sheet metal put together to form a tube or a prism, but inside all the heated or cooled air is traveling through it quickly in order to reach the rooms of your home. Your thermostat depends on these pathways so that the temperature can change and it can finally register as the temperature you set.

If your ducts encounter problems, which can be anything from a small leak to a major gap, the AC won’t necessarily recognize that there’s a problem. The ducts will continue to leak air as the system pushes and pushes to try and reach your thermostat’s temperature setting. Eventually, you could see a high energy bill, an uncomfortable house, or even a broken-down AC! So, let’s get into the reasons why HVAC duct repair in Palm Bay, FL is no joke!
