At TCS Heating and Air Conditioning, we’re dedicated to servicing your ductwork in New Britain, PA. During the winter, you rely on your heating system to circulate consistent and efficient warmth to every room of your home.
Your ductwork plays just as important a role in this process as your furnace. When your ducts develop leaks or lack airflow, it can impact your indoor comfort as well as your energy bills. Let our skilled New Britain heating technicians take care of your HVAC ductwork in New Britain today.
"TCS has been providing HVAC solutions for our home for many years, including several 'in-a-hurry' fixes on both hot and cold days. TCS replaced our entire HVAC last week, completely overhauling our 1970s vintage Westinghouse in an attic that was about 130 degrees. They are professional and know their stuff. They do great work, at a very reasonable price, and most importantly I trust their expertise, quality, and integrity."
The major parts of your ductwork system include the air handler, dampers, blower, coils, compressor, evaporator, and heat exchanger. The smaller transition pieces connect ducts of different sizes. You also have a plenum, which is a large chamber made of sheet metal that collects the air from the handler and distributes it to each of your ducts.
An air leak can occur in any of these components but is most likely to happen in the ducts. Over time, old age as well as gravity can shift and loosen the seals that connect your ducts.
When these seals, often made of sturdy metal tape, come free, they’ll let warm air escape into uninsulated areas of your home like your basement or attic. Ducts installed in areas without temperature control like a garage or crawlspace are at a higher risk of developing leaks.
A lack of weight support or mechanical fastenings may ultimately lead to air leaks. You may also struggle with internal duct issues like pest damage or excessive pressure due to improper damper use.
These are a few of the most frequently noticed signs of leaky or damaged ductwork:
Large spikes in monthly utility costs
Hot and cold areas around the home
Increased airborne dust or contaminants
Visible ductwork damage
HVAC systems runs longer
In addition to worsening your indoor comfort, leaky ducts may also introduce more pollutants into your circulated air. If a tear develops in an uninsulated area, contaminants like dust, pest droppings, and even drywall debris can enter your ducts.
This will tank your indoor air quality and make your household more susceptible to allergy flare-ups, constant sneezing, and headaches.
