Knowing when it’s time to have your air ducts repaired or replaced is the key to ensuring that you always get the most out of your HVAC system.

In order for your HVAC system to work, you need to have air ducts that are in great condition. Any sort of leaks or cracks in your ducting can allow air to escape and make your HVAC system less efficient. Knowing when to repair or replace your air ducts ensures that you always get the most out of your HVAC system.

Is It Time to Replace Your Air Ducts?

One of the most surefire ways to know that your air ducts need a replacement is that they’re over 10 years old. Most HVAC professionals recommend replacing your air ducts every 10 to 15 years. This helps to ensure the optimal efficiency of your HVAC system.

What’s the Process to Replace Air Ducts?

How in-depth the process is for replacing your air ducts is going to depend on where they are inside your home. Exposed air ducts, like those in the basement, are going to be much easier to replace. Those behind existing drywall or other materials will be much harder to replace.

When you have the ducting replaced within wall cavities, you need to have the drywall patched back up. You want to ensure that you have a licensed contractor lined up to finish the installation job. That way, your home isn’t a construction site for weeks on end.
