Season after season, New York residents in the Greater Rochester area work hard to keep their homes comfortable and efficient. However, you could be facing more than high energy bills if you have leaky ductwork—you could be putting your home’s breathing air at risk!
The Hidden Impact of Leaky Ducts
Leaky ductwork is a common and often overlooked problem. In fact, ENERGY STAR reports that the average duct system loses 20 to 30 percent of the air that passes through it due to leaks and poor connections. When this happens, your ducts can pull in dust, moisture, and even combustion byproducts from attics, crawl spaces, or basements, which then circulate throughout your living spaces.
Signs of Unhealthy Indoor Air
Wondering if your home’s air could be cleaner? Here are some common signs that IAQ may be suffering:
- Persistent dust accumulation
- Musty or unpleasant odors
- Increased asthma and allergy symptoms
- Stuffy or stale air
