Air Duct Service & Repair in Colorado Springs
Air ducts are conduits that facilitate heating, ventilation, and air conditioning airflow throughout a building. They are made up of supply air, return air, and exhaust air passages. Unless you are using a ductless system, air ducts are the method by which forced air systems ensure acceptable indoor air quality, such as through an air filtration system, as well as thermal comfort through heating and cooling systems.
Most of us don’t even think twice about the air ducts in our home or business. They are out of sight and therefore out of mind. Additionally, most of us aren’t sure when or how to clean these essential airflow conduits. Hardcastle Heating and Air can help you determine if your air ducts need servicing.
Common Signs Your Air Ducts Should Be Cleaned and Serviced
- The air filter hasn’t been changed in months. You should never let your air filter go more than two months without changing. The air filter is responsible for trapping dust, debris, and an extensive list of airborne particulates and contaminants. Once the air filter is full, these particulates and contaminants can collect in your ductwork or even in your heating and cooling units themselves, reducing efficiency and the overall life of your system.
- Registers and vent covers are visibly dusty. No matter how often you clean and dust your home, dust will build up. If this happens to your air registers and vents, then that is an indicator that you have an excessive dust problem, and it is clearly becoming part of the building’s airflow, meaning it is rapidly replacing the dust faster than you are cleaning it.
- Airflow is inconsistent from room to room. If you notice that not all of the rooms in your home are heating or cooling at the same rate, you may have dirty ducts impeding airflow. To ensure constant room comfort, have your air ducts assessed and cleaned if necessary.
- There are noises in the ductwork. You know what your HVAC system typically sounds like, so if you start hearing strange noises coming from the vents and registers, you might have a blockage or an overaccumulation of dust and debris, or even a possible rodent infestation.
