Minimise energy loss and save money by updating
and maintaining your ducts
Everyone wants to save money, right? Did you know that old, poorly maintained duct systems can lose up to 40 percent of the energy put out by your heating and cooling?
Your duct system is a branching network of tubes in the walls, floors, and ceilings, carrying air from your heating and cooling systems.
However, leaks can occur in your ducts through the seals or poor insulation, wasting your precious heated or cooled air before it reaches you!
The good news is, there are some simple steps you can take to update and maintain your duct system:
1. Check for leaks
It is essential to have your ducts tightly sealed and completely intact if you want them to route all heated and cooled air into the spaces you care about, rather than into an attic, basement, or drop ceiling. The seals in your duct system can break or deteriorate over time. These can be easily repaired by our professionals, reducing energy loss and saving you money.
2. Insulate
If your ducts pass through an unheated or uncooled portion of the building, ambient temperatures are going to affect the air inside the ducts. You can minimize this problem by either insulating the entire space the ducts pass through or by insulating the duct itself. Our expert team can help!
3. Clear obstructions
Aside from sealing your ducts, the simplest and most effective way of maintaining your air distribution system is to ensure that furniture and other objects are not blocking the airflow through your registers and to vacuum the registers to remove any dust buildup.
4. Maximise your return air system
Any rooms with a lack of sufficient return airflow may benefit from relatively simple upgrades, such as the installation of new return-air grilles, undercutting doors for return air, or installing a jumper duct. Contact our professional team to find out more.
5. Consider overhauling your duct system
If your duct system is old it may no longer be complying with professional standards. Consider an overhaul of your duct system to save energy and money in the long run! With innovations such as flexible hanging duct support systems, a new duct system could be just what your business needs.
