Signs that you might need to replace your ductwork include extensive leaky ductwork that continuously causes efficiency and air distribution issues, severe damage to multiple sections of the existing ducts, or old and deteriorating materials that no longer respond well to ductwork repair. Additionally, if your energy bills have been consistently high despite ongoing repairs, it may be more cost-effective to consider replacing your ductwork to achieve optimal performance and energy savings.
Flexible ducts, or flex duct, offer distinct advantages and some disadvantages compared to more rigid types of ductwork. One of the primary benefits is their adaptability; flexible ducts can easily be routed around obstacles and through tight spaces where rigid ducts would be difficult or impossible to install. This flexibility can significantly reduce installation time and costs. Additionally, flex duct is lightweight and often less expensive than metal ductwork.
However, there are cons as well. Flexible ducts can be more susceptible to crushing, kinking, and sagging if not properly supported, which can restrict airflow and reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system. They can also accumulate more dust and debris if the ducts have sharp bends, which may decrease air quality over time and increase maintenance requirements.
Duct mastic is a sealant used in both air duct replacement and repair to create airtight seals at joints, seams, and connections. Unlike traditional tape, duct mastic forms a durable, flexible, and impermeable seal that can prevent leaks more effectively and for a longer duration. Applying duct mastic during ductwork installation or repairs enhances the overall efficiency of the HVAC system by minimizing air loss and ensuring that air is delivered to the intended areas without energy waste.
