Duct, Duct, Goose – It’s Your Turn to Have Your Ductwork Tested

Tower Heating and Air on July 2, 2019

Do you have rooms in your home that are always too hot or too cold? Your ductwork could be to blame. Over time, your ductwork may separate which creates gaps. Your ductwork can be broken in your attic or under your home and you may not know about it. These breaks and gaps can lead to air from your HVAC system leaking into areas of your home you do not want to target such as walls, attics, under your home, crawl spaces, closets, and walls. This can cause you to feel uncomfortable in your home and wastes money that you are spending on heating and cooling.

Much like the surprise you get when playing the children’s game duck, duck, goose – you may be surprised to learn your ductwork needs to be tested regularly. Over time, it can gather dirt, dust, pet dander, debris, insects, mold, and more. These contaminants impact your heating and cooling system in a big way. Just like you should have regular maintenance performed on your HVAC system, it is important to have this performed on your ductwork as well. Having your ductwork tested can help ensure clean air is pumping into your home and it keeps your furnace and air conditioner from working harder than they should due to blocked ductwork. We have a vast selection of air quality products to keep you and your family breathing clean air. One of our favorite products is a whole-house air cleaner that not only kills all of the mold, mildew, and bacteria in your ductwork but also kills germs on your kitchen counters and the doorknobs in your house!
