What is Ductwork?
Ductwork is akin to straws. It carries air from one place to another (for example, from the AC blower to the interior of your home). Ductwork typically consists of pre-insulated fiberglass duct board or malleable plastic. However, it is also made from ductwork that is sheets of metal (a pipe made from sheet metal) that is then wrapped in insulation after being put in place.

Common ductwork problems
- The ductwork which is getting old could be beginning to show signs of deterioration. It is dependent on the kind of ductwork you have installed in your house, generally between 10 years, the outer liner starts or is about to fall apart and the insulation starts to disappear. If this occurs in an attic temperature that is more than 100 degrees, it could indicate that your air is 10 to 15 degrees higher when it enters your home. This could cause an increase in cooling and heating costs between 40 and 60 percent. To fix this issue the affected or broken ductwork needs to be replaced.
- Leaks in air ducts happen when sealants for ducts that are old start to fail, or the person who installed them didn’t safeguard the ductwork.
- Rodents, including rodents and squirrels, could cause damage to ductwork when looking for an area that is cool in Texas hot climate. It is recommended to examine your attic when you have had rodent issues.
One of the main causes of duct problems
Heating and cooling systems with ducts are installed in a way such a way that they’re hidden from view and hidden from view so when they’re in need to be repaired, we do not be aware of it if the air conditioning is inadequate.
Many heating systems that use ducts as well as air conditioning suffer from issues and cause problems as time passes. The majority of these issues stem from possums and rats, along with cats and various other animals. They chew through the ductwork looking for a magical and safe space to reside but cause damage to their AC pipe damaged. The pipes aren’t visible, however, they can be detected or smelled.
The damages caused by possums are immense and vast and, in the majority of cases, all AC ducts will require replacement. The top Prosper AC and Heating Repair team of repairers for ducts are skilled in identifying problems and providing solutions to resolve the problem.
Other animals, such as wombats, dogs, cats as well, are capable of settling in vents to keep warm and safe, which leaves the vents of the AC damaged, thereby limiting the circulation of air.
Some ducts can be damaged due to flooding. If water can enter those AC ducts, it persists for a considerable time and causes the ducts to shrink and then become damaged. Sometimes, people are able to get inside the ductwork, and they crush and damage the ducts. Sometimes, it’s because of inadequate installation or not being able to reach the air conditioning vents because they are located far from heating systems. the airflow can be reduced in specific parts of the house.
