Ductwork is the way your HVAC system delivers the air throughout your home. It takes air from your house, heats or cools it according to the settings, and sends it back through the vents. Air ducts are essential to your home’s ventilation system; the HVAC system can’t transport air without them. However, about 25% of the air in your ductwork is lost due to leaks and poorly fitted ducts.
If your ductwork has holes and gaps in it or is clogged with dust and debris, your HVAC unit will operate in overdrive to properly cool your home. That can lead to overheating and premature breakdowns. It will also lead to higher energy costs due to your HVAC system running longer to keep your house at the temperature you desire.

Replacing old ductwork will increase the efficiency of your system. If you observe any signs of deterioration or if the ducts in your home are over 15 years old, you might want to get new ducts immediately! Waiting too long to replace your ductwork can lead to serious issues with your HVAC unit like gaps in the ducts, pest infiltration, or even collapsing sections of ductwork.
Empire Custom Cooling can help maintain, repair, and replace your ductwork. Your home’s air ducts need as much attention as your HVAC system. When your ductwork is poorly connected or has multiple holes, the air pressure in the vents is lost. When we work on ducts, we often repair or replace sections that have become damaged. But if your home is old or your duct system hasn’t been maintained, sometimes your entire network of ducts is full of issues. In this case, the best thing to do is to replace your entire duct. Empire Custom Cooling will work with you to find the solution that you need.
