Most homeowners rarely think about their air ducts. Can you blame people? These ducts are hidden behind walls, ceilings, and floors, and most people are content as long as hot or cold air is coming out of the vents. Here’s the kicker though: those hidden air ducts can be sneaky little energy thieves. If they’re leaky, they’re quietly draining your wallet and affecting the air you breathe.
To make matters worse, they often go unnoticed for years - until the problems are too big (and too expensive) to ignore. In this brief article brought to you by Purified Air, we break down how this happens and what you can do about it. If you'd rather consult a technician from a reputable HVAC company, then call or message Purified Air to get in touch.
Your air ducts are the channels that carry heated or cooled air from your HVAC system to the rest of your home. When those conduits have holes or detours, less of that conditioned air actually makes it to your destination. That is, if your air ducts are leaking, damaged, or poorly sealed, then a huge chunk of that conditioned air never makes it to your living spaces.
In fact, the average home loses about 20 to 30 percent of its conditioned air through duct leaks, according to ENERGY STAR. Imagine running your heater or AC at full blast and only getting 70% of the comfort. Sounds wasteful, right? That’s because it is.
One of the first signs of leaky ducts is a spike in your energy bills. It's simple, really. If your HVAC system is working harder to make up for lost air, then it’s using more energy. That means higher heating and cooling costs without better results.
You might also notice some rooms are colder or hotter than others. That’s because the air is not being distributed evenly. Your system keeps running and trying to meet the temperature set on your thermostat, but it’s fighting a losing battle. This puts unnecessary strain on the system and can lead to costly heating repair down the line.
If left unchecked, leaky air ducts can warrant a full heat repair or HVAC system replacement much sooner than expected.
Leaky ducts don’t just waste energy; they also pull in dust, dirt, allergens, and even mold from unconditioned spaces like attics, crawl spaces, and walls. All of that ends up circulating in your indoor air.
