In Fort Worth, TX, my wonderful friend and I experience four seasons and a wide range of weather conditions, the summers are hot and humid while winters are cool and rainy.
My associate and I rely heavily on the a/c and boiler, and while the heating and cooling units split the workload, the ductwork operates day in and day just about year round.
This concealed network of pipes is responsible for removing stale air and introducing clean, conditioned air, and because the duct system is hidden inside walls, ceilings, the attic and crawlspace, it’s easy to ignore, and in the majority of homes, the ductwork accounts for up to 30% of energy losses, however cracks, holes, gaps and other imperfections allow the heated and cooled air to escape. These same flaws draw in unconditioned, potentially polluted air and it gets distributed throughout the home; High daily daily bills, unpleasant odors, contaminated air, temperature swings and repairs can often be blamed on faulty ductwork. I make sure to have the ductwork took care of every couple of years. While duct sealing and duct cleaning are an expense, these services are cost-effective, however properly operating ductwork allows the a/c and boiler to run at peak efficiency. It ensures that the maximum amount of heated and cooled air reaches the destination and that this air is clean. When the ductwork operates at its best, I don’t need to vacuum or dust as often. My family suffers from fewer colds, flu and headaches. My associate and I sleep better at night and have more energy during the day. Because my wonderful friend and I use less energy, our property is more environmentally responsible.
