Your HVAC system is in charge of your building’s heating, air conditioning, and ventilation. It’s a complicated system with many components, and we only give it the attention it deserves when there’s a problem. As a result, it’s critical to keep your HVAC system in good working order so that problems like these don’t arise. There are a few basic HVAC duct issues that may be correctly handled if caught early on. Here are the five most frequent HVAC duct issues, suggested by ECMS services to be aware of:
- Strange Smells
At times, unpleasant odours may be detected. Such odours could very possibly be coming from your HVAC system’s air ducts. Moisture builds up in the air ducts over time, resulting in the formation of foul-smelling mould and mildew. Furthermore, if you do not clean often and thoroughly, unpleasant odours may result from faecal deposits left by insects and rodents.
- Inconsistent temperatures
You may have noticed that the amount of comfort in one room differs from the level of comfort in another. This is because the room’s position in respect to the HVAC’s air ducts causes the temperature to differ. As a result, you can go into one area that is cold while another is stuffy due to a leak in the ducts that lead to it. As a result, the cool air that is supposed to enter that chamber does not.
- Breathing Issues
Poor airflow in the building may also be caused by air duct problems. A blockage or leak in one of the major air ducts may cause a reduction in air flow in all vents. If, on the other hand, the issue appears to be limited to a single room or region, there is most likely a clog or leak in the air ducts in that specific spot.
- Clogs in the Air Filter
Clogged air filters are a typical issue with HVAC systems. The need of changing air filters on a regular basis cannot be overstated. It is suggested that you do this at least once a quarter. However, even if you make it a point to do so, the filters may still become clogged. The cause of this is frequently debris in the air ducts, which clogs the air filters.
- Sounds
Have users noticed any weird noises coming from thier HVAC system? The most likely cause is the air vents. Chirping noises, for example, are frequently associated with air tubing destruction. Bursting noises are another source of annoyance. They are frequently caused by pressure changes. Air ducts can develop leaks and cracks over time, so it’s crucial to inspect them on a regular basis so that necessary repairs can be made. Apart from being irritated by the noises, you’ll want to fix any duct leaks because they’ll lower the efficiency of your HVAC system, especially in terms of air flow. Any leaking air duct leaks will be identified and appropriately sealed during an HVAC inspection.
