Air ducts have to be replaced for a number of reasons but all with the same goals in mind; the purpose is, to improve the efficiency of the ventilation system and insulation system and to reduce the electricity charges.
Given the importance of ducts, it is crucial that the ducts are performing at the optimum levels. Sometimes, to ensure that level of performance, a replacement is necessary.
Uneven temperatures and the sudden rise in humidity levels inside the house are some of the indicators which are telling you that your duct may have to be replaced. You may even want to get the ducts removed for some renovation reasons. Whatever the cause be, we are the one stop solution to all your duct and insulation relation problems.
Air ducts get damaged beyond repair due to a number of factors such as age, poor design, and rodent damage. Damaged ductwork or air duct leaks can affect the indoor environment in many ways like:
Cold air is lost before it effectively cools down the indoor space. This makes your HVAC system work harder, using more energy and drives your utility bills up.
Leaks in the ductwork allow contaminants to pollute the circulating air. These contaminants include, mold, dust, mites, pollen, bacteria, asbestos and other allergens. They are potential health hazards.
Room temperature varying greatly and fluctuating randomly or continuously indicates that the duct is malfunctioning and may require a replacement. If the air duct system was functioning efficiently it would have circulated the warm and cool air uniformly.
A sudden increase in humidity noticed inside the room may also be pointing to duct malfunctioning.
These issues may require a replacement, but only after thorough inspection and possible repairs. Attic Leader insulation contractors repairs air ducts as well as replaces them to keep your HVAC system efficient, comfortable and clean. We can also upsize air ducts to get more air to the desired room in your home or building.
Cost of ductwork removal is based on several factors. These include the size per square footage of the home and the number of vents allocated.
The cost of the duct material can vary by region and is subject to the type of material, its specifications such as inside diameter, the linear footage and whether it is insulated or non-insulated.
The type of duct material your HVAC contractor chooses will depend on parameters specific to your installation. Most duct system installations require a combination of different duct materials to accommodate the structure.
Other factors to consider is if the home is one or two stories, the number of individual temperature controls, and the cost of repairs to walls, ceilings, or floors in which the ductwork was installed.
For larger homes or homes where the network of ductwork may be more involved or challenging because the ducts were networked around trusses, the replacement cost will be higher.
Having new or replacement ducts and vents are big projects and can be a big investment so it’s to your benefit to have it done right in one attempt.
While most HVAC system replacements can be completed within a day, some of the more advanced additions could extend the installation time.
