Do I Need Professional Duct Sealing?

If you, like so many other homeowners throughout the country, choose to cool your home with a forced air distribution based HVAC system, then you are reliant upon your air ducts in order to distribute conditioned air throughout your house. Needless to say, you must know that those air ducts are in great working condition. If you, like so many other homeowners throughout the country, choose to cool  your home with a forced air distribution based HVAC system, then you are reliant upon your air ducts in order to distribute conditioned air throughout your house. Needless to say, you must know that those air ducts are in great working condition. Over time, your ducts may loosen at connection points, or become otherwise compromised. When this happens, it is important to have your air ducts professional sealed by trained technicians. If you notice these warning signs in your home, you should consider professional duct sealing in Delray Beach. Contact All-Pro Electrical & Air Conditioning to schedule high-quality services. 
  1. Reduced Indoor Air Quality: Have you noticed that your allergies have really been acting up lately? Does it seem like you just cannot keep on top of your dusting and vacuuming? Are you concerned about visible pollutants floating around in the air? A decline in indoor air quality throughout the home is one of the most telling indicators that your air ducts are not properly sealed. Pollutants can get into the system, and are then distributed throughout the entire house.
  2. Hissing or Whistling: If you hear a hissing or whistling sound that is unfamiliar to you when you run your air conditioning system, then it may be due to air leaking out of tears or loose connections in your ductwork. Don't allow this to continue. Not only is the sound itself annoying, especially considering how frequently you must run your system: you are also wasting energy as you cool your home with leaky ductwork.
  3. Increased Cooling Costs: Being as that you use your air conditioner so much, you probably have a pretty good idea of just how much it costs in order to cool your home. If you notice that you are spending more and more to do so, you may have to have your air ducts sealed. The cooled air won't just disappear,  of course; however, it will have trouble making it to the intended destination. Uneven cooling and increased energy costs are likely to follow.
