Signs you need new air ducts.
Check for these. If you see even one, book a free inspection and we will look at it with you.
- Ducts with a torn or missing outer jacket, and insulation showing.
- Ducts that sag, kink or are flattened.
- A duct that has come loose and blows air into the attic or crawl space.
- Chew holes or droppings on or inside the ducts.
- Dust blowing out of the vents when the system starts.
- No airflow through one vent or a few vents. It is worth having it checked.
- The attic or crawl space is being cleaned, and the old ducts are damaged.
