    Old, Leaky Ducts in Champaign Could Cost You

    Ductwork is an essential extension of your Champaign home’s heating and air conditioning system. When it’s working well, it delivers plentiful comfort throughout your house.

    A normal home wastes 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air because of weakly connected ducts and fractures in the ductwork. Air leaks can make your equipment work harder and lead to higher home energy bills.

    There are several clues that your home has underperforming ducts:

    1. Energy costs are increasing.
    2. Rooms have hot/cold spots.
    3. Ductwork is piped through an uninsulated space, like an attic, crawl space or garage.
    4. Your HVAC system is extremely noisy.

    Chief/Bauer Service Experts can help when your rooms feel miserable.

    Begin by requesting a complimentary consultation with our Experts. We’ll inspect your supply ducts and suggest the best course of action for your home. Whether we recommend replacing or sealing your ductwork, our work is backed by our one-year, 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.*

    Our specialists are NATE certified, which means they’ve received the most important industry standard. This prepares them with the skill to get the job done right the first time.

    Ductwork Doesn't Last Forever

    If you live in an older home, your ductwork might not be compatible with up-to-date high-efficiency HVAC technology. Ducts and their related pieces—seams, seals and joists—begin to deteriorate around 15 years. They reach their maximum usefulness around 20 to 25 years.

    Ductwork also expands and contracts throughout the seasons. These shifts over the years can cause it to pull apart and allow air to escape. Leaks can hike your utility expenses and cause poor indoor air quality. Separated ducts can draw in and spread pollen, dust and other impurities.

    Your attic, crawl space, garage or other uninsulated space could contain some of your ductwork. Water buildup can appear during high temperatures, causing rust to eat through the metal.

    5 Signs You Need to Replace Your Ductwork

    There are several other hints that can indicate ductwork needs to be replaced:
    1.Your ducts are more than 15 years old.
    2.Your home is extremely dusty, or allergies are worse at home.
    3.You can’t regulate the temperature in particular sections of your home.
    4.You can see ducts that are crushed.
    5.You smell a strong mold odor when your HVAC equipment is on.
     
    Having Chief/Bauer Service Experts install new ductwork can make your home more comfortable—and healthier—through improved temperature control and air quality. Plus, it can boost your furnace’s and air conditioner’s efficiency.

    Loose, Uninsulated Ducts Can Drive Up Energy Bills

    An inefficient home can leak up to 30 percent of airflow through its ductwork. Cracks in your air ducts can further complicate, reducing efficiency by as much as 20 percent.

    Leaks can also pull in combustion gases like carbon monoxide that meant to be expelled outdoors. Natural gas water heaters, clothes dryers and furnaces create non-toxic amounts of CO during normal activity.

    Trust the Experts at Chief/Bauer Service Experts when you need duct repair. We can seal air ducts and insulate them too. This can keep you more comfortable and possibly decrease your heating and cooling bills. A sealed and insulated duct system is also important when you’re adding a new HVAC system.
