Charleston HVAC Duct Repair
Services & Replacement

The condition of your ductwork is extremely important because it provides cool or warm air to each room in your Charleston, South Carolina, home. Issues with your air ducts can reduce your HVAC system lifespan by making it work harder, plus it can cause your home to become less comfortable – especially in extreme outside temperatures. A professional can repair many of the smaller issues, but a replacement is usually easier and less expensive. Consider replacing your ductwork if you have old ducts, high utility bills, and poor indoor air quality:​

​​

• Old Ductwork

Most homeowners begin to experience problems with their ductwork usually between 10 and 15 years after initial installation.

 

Anything over 15 years and you should start thinking about having your ducts replaced before major problems occur; like pests, gaps, or even collapsed sections of ducts. This will help prevent stuffy area or drafts and ensure your entire home stays comfortable.

​

• High Utility Bills

If you are experiencing higher energy bills, you could be paying more than you should because of leaks in your ductwork. An HVAC professional can run a blower door test to discover any issues.

 

You can have your ductwork sealed to save energy if the leaks are small enough. If not, you should replace the ductwork to get your power bills back in line.

​

• Poor Indoor Air Quality

If your ductwork has holes or gaps, it could allow dust, pollen, and other pollutants to go around your HVAC system’s air filter and send out through your home. This causes asthma and allergy symptoms to worsen and triggers stuffy noses, irritated eyes, and other health problems.

 

Mold can also spread through your ductwork and the rest of your home. This creates unpleasant smells along with damage to your HVAC system.​​​
