Energy bill higher than normal? Check your ductwork. Damaged, dirty, or pest infested ductwork will cause poor airflow and circulation, making your HVAC unit work harder to regulate temperature.

Holes and crevices within your ductwork are the perfect scenario for pests and rodents to enter and wreak havoc on your home. 

Not only are they a huge annoyance, but urinating and defecating within your ductwork could leave you with a plethora of air pollutants.

Could indicate damage to your ductwork or a buildup of debris causing poor airflow

​

Poor airflow often leads to damage to your HVAC system or increased energy bills if not addressed by a professional.

Damaged and leaky duct work can draw in air contaminated with mold spores, insect debris, dust, and other air pollutants. These pollutants are then distributed throughout the home, compromising the quality of the air you breathe in. 

Large changes in temperature levels from one room to the next could mean there is a leak in your ductwork or that it is not sized correctly to regulate the temperature of the home.​

If your house is clean and you are regularly changing your filters but notice that they are excessively dirty, it might be a good idea to have your ductwork looked at as it could be a sign of a ductwork integrity issue.
