Is Your HVAC System Secretly Costing You Money?
When it comes to home comfort, we often focus on the visible aspects of our HVAC systems – the thermostat, vents, and the occasional filter change. However, there’s a hidden component that could be silently sabotaging your home’s energy efficiency: leaky ductwork.
At Aqua Plumbing & Air, we’ve seen firsthand how overlooked duct issues can lead to significant problems. Here’s why you should pay attention to your home’s air distribution system:
The Impact of Leaky Ducts
1. Energy Waste: Up to 30% of conditioned air can escape through leaks, cracks, or poorly connected ducts.
2. Inconsistent Temperatures: Some rooms may feel too hot or too cold due to uneven air distribution.
3. Poor Indoor Air Quality: Leaks can draw in dust, allergens, and even pests from unconditioned spaces.
4. Increased Utility Bills: Your HVAC system works harder to compensate for lost air, leading to higher energy costs.
Signs of Ductwork Problems
Keep an eye out for these indicators:
– Unusually high energy bills
– Excessive dust around vents
– Rooms that are difficult to heat or cool
– Visible damage or disconnected ducts in attics or crawl spaces
