If your HVAC system isn’t performing up to your expectations, it might not be due to the system itself. The ductwork that pushes air throughout your living space is a delicate balance that’s meant to be uninterrupted. Over the years, you may have added onto your home, opened and closed the vents, or experienced a summer without air conditioning. Any of these simple things can wreak havoc on both your ductwork and your HVAC system. Faught Service Company is happy to provide you with some insight regarding your ductwork.
How Changes Affect Ductwork
The ductwork in any space is designed for maximum efficiency for the period that it was installed. Typically, this happens when your home was built, or it can be altered throughout the years. Closing a vent or not changing your air filter causes additional strain on the HVAC system and affect the flow of air, overall. Additional issues occur when you go without air conditioning, heat, or fail to have repairs to ductwork or HVAC components completed promptly. If mold happens to form, it can not only damage your ductwork and your HVAC system, but it can also affect your family’s health.
Easy Solutions for Your Ductwork Problems
Some simple DIY steps you can take are to ensure that your thermostat is set at a temperature that’s adequately heating and cooling your home. Keep all air vents open even in unused spaces. Change your air filter every month to maximize the effectiveness of your HVAC system. If not enough relief is provided, contact Faught Service Company to analyze your ductwork and HVAC system. Updates to the ductwork may be necessary, or you may want to switch to a more efficient system, like zoned HVAC.
