Hire A Professional Contractor For Duct Improvement Projects
For duct improvement projects, many house owners choose to hire a professional contractor. Ductwork is repaired by the majority of heating and cooling professionals.
Look for a professional contractor that can:
Investigate the whole duct system, including the basement, attic, and crawlspaces.
Combustion safety testing must be conducted once the ducts are sealed if the home contains back-drafting appliances (such as a natural-draft furnace, boiler, or water heater).
Examine the supply and return air balance of the system. Many systems have inadequate air return ducts.
Repair damaged and disconnected ducts as well as ducts that are tangled or crushed.
Seal all leaks and connections with various materials such as mastic, spray foam, metal tape, or an aerosol-based sealant.
Look for the registers & grills that can seal ducts tightly.
In unconditioned areas (such as crawlspaces, attics, and garages), use duct insulation with an R-value of 6 or greater to insulate ducts.
To improve the duct system, it will be better to include a new filter. After the repairs are finished, the contractor should check the airflow.
