Much like the rest of your home’s HVAC system, your air ducts can function efficiently for many years. Generally though, once your air ducts have been in operation for longer than a decade then they tend to deteriorate. If you begin to notice a loss of functionality in your home’s air ducts and they are 10 years old or older, it may be time to consider a replacement.
Air ducts are carefully designed and installed in each home to provide the best heating and cooling solutions possible for each home. A tear or hole in a duct will diminish its functionality greatly as can a bend or twist in the duct. If the damage to the duct is severe, a replacement may be necessary.
If you begin to notice that your home’s cooling system is not operating properly, your air ducts could be at fault. Call Gibson's Heating & Plumbing to get an air duct technician scheduled to inspect your home’s air ducts to determine if a replacement is needed.
