It’s easy to forget about your ducts, but you shouldn’t ignore them. They play an essential role in forced air heating and cooling systems. If there is any problem with your ductwork, even the best HVAC equipment won’t keep your home comfortable.

Dysfunctional Ducts Hurt HVAC Systems

Dirt, toxins, and debris can collect there and inhibit airflow. Weak airflow makes the blower motor work harder than it should, and that strains the entire system. Meanwhile, restricted airflow in the return ducts hurts the compressor. Installing a new heating or cooling system without re-configuring the ducts can even damage new equipment.

Dirty Ducts Pollute Indoor Air

Ducts can be a repository for viruses, bacteria, dust mites, rodents, insects, dander, pet fur, pollen and dirt. The contents of your ducts don’t just stay there; they become a part of the air supply, entering your home whenever the blower fan is activated. These airborne pollutants can make you sick.

Leaky and Undersized Ducts Increase Utility Bills

Ducts can develop leaks over time.
