While repairing your ductwork is sufficient for leaks and minor damage, sometimes replacing it is necessary. Times, when new ductwork is essential include:- Home renovations: If you’re redesigning your home’s layout or have a new home addition, you need new ductwork to ensure balanced comfort throughout your space.
- Flawed ductwork design: If your ductwork wasn’t properly designed and includes too many turns or long pathways, it will lead to significant inefficiencies and require a complete replacement.
- Inadequate installation: Ductwork that isn’t properly installed may leak air, making your HVAC system inefficient. If the insulation is compromised, replacing the ductwork may be your best solution.
- Leaks in the ductwork: Over time, your ductwork can leak due to wear and tear. If the leaks can’t be sufficiently sealed, replacement is necessary.
- Health and safety concerns: If faulty ducts cause health issues, such as poor indoor air quality, replacement is necessary.
