Ductwork is responsible for carrying warm and cool air all around your home, making it a vital component of your HVAC system.

However, it is also a system that can easily run into problems. Damage to the ducts changes the way air flows. Meanwhile, debris building up in the ducts can trigger respiratory distress and limit airflow.

Texas Pride AC & Heating is here to help. We’ll care for and repair your ducts for you. That way, you can simply enjoy the heating or cooling your HVAC system provides.  

Ductwork Repair

A problem with ductwork can cause issues for your entire HVAC system. Many problems can reduce efficiency or prevent the system from working at all. 

So, repairing ductwork issues promptly is important. Sometimes, you may need to patch up the ducts and repair problems with them. Other times, you’ll need duct cleaning to remove dangerous elements.  

Signs You Need To Repair Ductwork

If you notice certain signs, it may indicate a problem that will require repairs.

• Less effective airflow: If you notice that your AC isn’t cooling evenly or that there are hot/cold spots in your house, an issue with the ductwork may be to blame. 
• Higher energy costs: Leaks and other problems in the ductwork can reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system. The system will use more energy to achieve the same level of cooling. 
• Lower air quality: Dust, pollutants, and other debris can all build up within the ductwork. These will reduce indoor air quality.
• Strange smells: If bacteria, mold, or mildew start growing in the ductwork, you will often be able to smell it. 
• Increased HVAC issues: Problems with ductwork can cause you to start experiencing more regular HVAC issues. If you notice the number of repairs you need going up, the ductwork may be the culprit. 

Ductwork Replacement

Ductwork has a limited lifespan. Wear and tear on the system will cause it to deteriorate, eventually requiring replacement. 

Texas Pride AC & Heating can replace your ductwork. We’ll remove the old system and put in a fresh, new one. With the new system, you’ll reset the lifespan of your home’s ductwork. 

When To Replace Your Ductwork

Typically, you can expect your ductwork to last around 10-15 years. However, the exact time depends on a few factors. 

• Duct material: Metal ducts, like those made from galvanized steel or aluminum, tend to last longer than alternatives. 
• Location: Areas that deal with high levels of humidity, like Texas, tend to have more mold and mildew problems. These problems can wear down a duct system quickly. 
• Maintenance: You should regularly maintain your entire duct system. Failure to do so can reduce the system’s lifespan. 

Benefits of Ductwork Replacement

Even if your ductwork hasn’t reached the end of its lifespan, you may consider replacing it because of the benefits of new ductwork, such as:

• Lower energy bills: Newer ductwork is more efficient. Efficiency like this allows the HVAC system to consume less energy. 
• Improved comfort: A new ductwork system will give better cooling and heating ventilation. 
• Better indoor air quality: New ductwork will deliver cleaner return air into the room.
