When you use air ducts in order to distribute cooled air throughout your home, you must know for certain that those air ducts are in the fine shape necessary for distributing that cooled air throughout your home in an efficient and effective manner. The problem is, of course, that so much of your ductwork is hidden from view, making it impossible to simply visually inspect your air ducts with any sort of convenience.

What You Can Do
You yourself can spot potential problems with your ductwork, provided that you know what it is that you are looking for. First of all, you should pay attention to the amount of money that you are paying in order to cool your home. If you notice that your cooling costs are on the rise, despite the fact that you are not using your air conditioner any different than normal, that spike in energy costs may be due to leaking ductwork. Also, pay attention to your indoor air quality. If the quality of the air throughout your home is slipping, it may be due to pollutants infiltrating leaky ductwork, which are then free to travel throughout your entire home via those air ducts.
