Leaky Ductwork Could Sap the Cool Air of Your A/C

Wednesday, June 13, 2012

By the time you notice leaky ductwork in your home, it may have already caused problems with your air conditioning system. The most common issues caused by leaky ductwork include: inefficient cooling, the development of mold and structural damage to the foundation of your home, or the air conditioning system itself. The causes of leaky ductwork are varied, but most often are due to the ductwork not being properly installed in the first place. You can correct this problem by contacting an HVAC dealer in your area that is also a Carrier factory authorized dealer. The company can send a technician to your home to complete preventative maintenance and re-size the ductwork for your air conditioning system.

When you work with a Carrier factory authorized dealer, you know that you are getting the highest quality of products and services available in the HVAC industry. The Carrier Corporation has been in existence since 1902 and is considered to be an industry leader in product design, and heating and cooling solutions. Of all the HVAC dealers that apply to its Carrier factory authorized dealer program, only five percent are accepted. To be approved as a Carrier factory authorized dealer, the HVAC company must show superior workmanship, incredibly high customer service standards, above average levels of technician training, and remarkably ethical business practices.

As soon as an air conditioning service technician arrives at your home, he or she will measure your air ducts to determine whether or not an improper fit is the problem. If not, it could be that blocked drainage tubes inside of your air conditioner are causing excess condensation in your air ducts. The problem could also lie with excess dirt and debris within the actual air ducts. In either case, a skilled HVAC technician can fix the problem to ensure that your air conditioner runs at peak efficiency.
