When planning to update your heating and ac system, don’t forget your ductwork! It’s a major factor that will keep your home feeling just right. Leaky ductwork can jeopardize the comfort of your home before you know it.
If your home is too hot or too cold, that could be the first sign of a flaw in your ductwork. It could put a strain on the rest of your system. Your heat pump could be top of the line, but when paired with a bad duct, you won’t receive the full benefits.
Here are a few other ways a leaky duct can negatively affect you and the comfort of your home:
- The system will work harder to make up for the air that’s escaped
- Your system will be under more stress, which can take a few years off its lifespan
- Your home will not cool/heat as well as it should, which can cause high energy bills
- Dirt and debris can enter your system which will lead to air quality issues

When you schedule a duct evaluation through O’Brien, it’s a complimentary service that could ultimately save you time and money. An inspection can also save you from making an emergency call in the future.
We’ll send one of our Design Specialists to your home to evaluate your system. During the evaluation, they will look over the installation and overall condition of the system.
