Ductwork vs. HVAC Unit Repair
When you have temperature issues in your home, your technician may need to inspect your whole HVAC system to determine the cause. Whether you need HVAC repair or ductwork repair, Comfort First is the team you need.
While HVAC repair focuses on your heating and cooling units, ductwork repair only addresses the ductwork system through which the air travels. Locating where the root issue lies will help your technician ensure a proper repair is performed.
Common Causes of Ductwork Damage
Many issues can lead to ductwork damage, including:
- Wear and tear: Through daily use, ducts experience wear and tear due to temperature fluctuations, aging materials, and changes in the HVAC system.
- Improper installation: When ductwork is installed incorrectly, it leads to improper airflow and strange noises, often due to gaps in connections.
- Rodents and pests: Animals such as insects, mice, and rats may chew through the structure of your ductwork to leave droppings and create blockages.
- Under-insulated ducts: If your ducts are inadequately insulated, this can prevent your home from reaching your desired temperature.
- Unbalanced airflow: This can happen when too much or too little air is delivered to certain rooms via your ductwork, which causes discomfort and HVAC inefficiency.
- Accidents: During renovations or home projects, your ductwork may be accidentally damaged in locations such as the attic, walls, or basement.
Our Ductwork Repair & Sealing Process
Comfort issues in your home don’t always mean you need an air conditioning or heating repair. Sometimes, your ductwork is the culprit, and you have to determine if your ductwork needs to be repaired or sealed.
Both processes start by inspecting your ductwork system and locating the issue.
- Ductwork repair involves repairing physical damage, such as cracks, holes, or disconnected sections. Physical damage is repaired via reconnecting sections or replacing damaged parts.
- Ductwork sealing focuses on leaks and gaps to prevent air from escaping. Leaks can be found in the joints, seams, and connections and are sealed using aerosol sealants.
