Proper maintenance ensures efficient airflow, improves indoor air quality, and reduces energy costs. Neglected ducts can harbor mold, dust, and debris, which can affect your health and HVAC system.
It depends on factors like location, usage, and environmental conditions. Generally, a professional inspection and cleaning every 2-5 years is recommended.
Unexplained increases in energy bills, uneven heating or cooling, unusual odors, visible mold growth, excessive dust, and noisy airflow are common indicators of issues.
While some minor tasks like changing filters can be DIY, most repairs and cleaning should be done by a professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Our technician will start by inspecting your air ducts and vents to identify any problems. Common issues include leaks, blockages, damaged ductwork, loose connections, and worn-out components.
Once the issues are identified, our technician will assess the extent of the damage and determine the most appropriate repair or replacement solutions. They may use tools like thermal imaging cameras or airflow measurement devices to pinpoint problem areas.
In some cases, repairs may involve cleaning the ducts and vents. Accumulated dust, debris, and mold can reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system and negatively impact indoor air quality. Total Climate Control technicians will use specialized equipment to clean and sanitize the ducts and vents.
Leaky ducts can result in energy wastage and reduced heating or cooling efficiency. The technician will seal any gaps or cracks in the ductwork using appropriate sealants or duct tape. If there are damaged sections of ducts, they may need to be patched or replaced.
Vent repairs may include fixing loose or broken vent covers, reattaching disconnected vents, and ensuring proper airflow throughout your home or building.
After repairs are completed, the technician will test the HVAC system to ensure it is functioning correctly. This may involve checking airflow, temperature distribution, and overall system performance.
Our professional technician may provide recommendations for regular maintenance to prevent future issues. This can include suggestions for changing air filters, cleaning vents, and scheduling periodic inspections.
