Are Leaky Ducts Costing You Money?

Monday, August 26th, 2024

Most homes conduct the heated and cooled air provided by HVAC systems through ductwork. These pathways get the air to the vents in the various parts of the home. They’re commonly above ceilings, in attics, between walls, and out of sight. You could almost forget that they’re there, but it’s a good idea to consider their efficiency.

Ductwork doesn’t last forever. It can wear out or get damaged. Then, the precious, expensive air that your furnace or AC brought to the perfect temperature will be lost. Much of it will leak out of the ducts before it gets to the vents. Leaky ducts are shockingly common, and you might be horrified to learn just how much money that old ductwork is costing you. If you think you have duct leaks or any other need for HVAC repair in Milton, WI, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Why Your Air Ducts Really Matter

Monday, December 18th, 2023

Air ducts get a bad wrap in our opinion. They almost come as an “accessory” to your HVAC system which steals all the spotlight. But in reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Just as your heating system is a powerful tool that’s full of state-of-the-art equipment designed over centuries, your air ducts are also a product of brilliant modern engineering.

Back in the day, people could only create heat in a fireplace or a “hearth” because there was just no easy way to transport heated air from one location in a home to another. Now, with air ducts, any heating system can provide heat through an entire house and in every room due to a simple invention. However, since people pay less attention to their air ducts, they can get riddled with critters, dust, debris, and other contaminants that can cause problems.

Keep reading down below to find out a few reasons why duct cleaning in Milton, WI is such an essential service we offer.
