Your HVAC system’s ductwork is the unsung hero of your home. Responsible for transporting and distributing warm and cool air throughout your home, the condition of your ductwork plays a major role in your comfort. 

If your ducts develop a leak, it can create some pretty big issues. Read on to learn more about the signs of leaky ducts and how they can affect your home. 

Noticed that your bill keeps rising, but you aren’t using your furnace or AC any more than normal? This in itself is one of the biggest indicators of a serious issue. 

A leak in the duct allows the warm and cool air that your HVAC system generates to escape before it ever reaches your vents.

With precious warm and cool air escaping, your system has to work that much harder to keep up with the thermostat setting. Not only is this a waste of energy and money — it’s hard on your entire HVAC system. 

In many homes and businesses the Ductwork is located within the Attic. Therefore, when the system is idle, dirty, unfiltered, and unconditioned Attic air will enter into your Ductwork and into your home. This is another way the leaky ducts contribute to increased energy bills. 

As your system works harder to compensate for the leaks, it places more strain on your system’s moving parts. As a result, you may notice your system needing repairs more frequently. 

Leaky ducts also allow more dust and debris into your system — more than your filter can handle. This can cause your air filter to get clogged, which also places strain on your system as it attempts to compensate for the reduced output, leading to premature wear and tear. 

As your system is dealing with the increase in dust and debris the best it can, the excess that the filter can’t collect will get dispersed right back into your home through the vents. This creates some serious issues for allergy sufferers and those who have respiratory conditions. 

Leaky ductwork is often the culprit for uneven heating and cooling in your home. You may find that some rooms receive more warm or cool air than others, creating inconsistent temperatures throughout the house.
