Signs You Need Ductwork Services
It’s important to closely monitor the condition and performance of your ducts. It’s the best way to ensure proper ventilation and energy-efficient performance for your heating and cooling systems. If you notice any of the following signs, we recommend scheduling ductwork services with our team:
- Poor airflow: Poor airflow is often caused by blockages within the vents, leaks, and cracks. It can also occur when the filters on your HVAC systems become clogged.
- Inconsistent heating or cooling: If you notice inconsistent heating or cooling in the home, there’s likely a break or clog in the ducts preventing even air distribution throughout the house.
- Excessive dust: Excessive dust near your vents is a telltale sign that your air ducts require prompt repairs.
- Moldy or mildewy smells: Mold and mildew growth within your air ducts occurs when excessive humidity is present. It’s a serious problem that can negatively impact your health and thus requires immediate attention.
- Pest infestation: Pests such as rodents and insects can infiltrate old, damaged ducts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my ducts last?
Properly installed and maintained ducts should last 20-25 years. Generally, you should inspect your ducts every 10 years and again every 15 years to confirm their condition and address any age-related deterioration.
What are the most common reasons for ductwork damage?
Poor installation, malfunctioning HVAC systems, and biological contaminants are some of the most common causes of ductwork damage. Other causes include poor insulation, construction works and accidents, and temperature differentials.
Can't I use duct tape to repair my ducts?
This is a common misconception, and the answer is no. Duct tape doesn’t seal properly, which means it won’t restore the condition of your ducts or create the reliable seal required to ensure efficient ventilation.
