Apparently, poorly linked HVAC ducts can lose up to 30% of your heated or cooled air that is supposed to be circulating throughout your home
We have been having some entirely frigid spots in our home lately. At first, I had no program what the problem was because I don’t entirely know all that much about heating & cooling systems at all. Then I decided that I was gonna look up some information about it myself before I called up our local heating & cooling contractor. I figured that it always pays to know a little bit about something before you try to call in a professional. At least that way, you will know if they are trying to trick you or not. When I looked it up online, I found out some interesting information. Apparently, the reason my room entirely has frigid spots in it is because of cracks, holes, weeks, & poorly linked ductwork. Those things are the primary causes of frigid spots in your house. Also, they are considered to be one of the main things that can waste energy in your house! That section was surprising to me. I never entirely thought about the fact that having leaky ductwork would make your heating & cooling bills so much higher. I believe the cracks & holes can allow the heated air or the air conditioner to leak out into areas where you don’t want it to go. I found some interesting statistics when I was looking for information online too. Apparently, poorly linked HVAC ducts can lose up to 30% of your heated or cooled air that is supposed to be circulating throughout your home. When your ductwork is broken or leaking, then all of that air ends up inside of your walls, in your attic, or in other places where people aren’t going.
