Older Ducts
Older ducts can collect dust and breed contamination, compromising the air you breathe in your home.
People spend nearly 90% of their time indoors* and, according to the EPA†, the air inside the home is often more polluted than the air outside. A dirty, leaky duct system can cost you in more ways than one. Ducts carry the air to and from your HVAC unit, which means they can affect the temperature and comfort of every room.
From indoor air quality to your monthly heating and cooling bills, see why it pays to pay attention to your ductwork.

Leaky ducts (or mis-sized ducts) waste your money by letting air escape before it reaches its destination.
Would you keep pumping gas if 30% spilled on the ground? Don’t let a leaky duct system waste your money by letting your heated and cooled air escape before it gets where you need it.
Research shows that roughly 90 percent of U.S. homes are under-insulated.¶ Make sure your attic is properly insulated to reduce wasted energy and help the HVAC system work its best.
