Because it\u2019s easy to forget about the ducts in the walls and attic of your house\u2014after all, you can\u2019t see them easily\u2014you probably don\u2019t think much about scheduling service to test them and find out if they need sealing or repair. However, professional duct testing is a task that benefits most homes. If air ducts have leaks, it will cost a house in comfort, energy bills, and damage to HVAC equipment. It all adds up to big expenses and a loss of basic comfort, whether in summer or winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re going to help you understand the best times to call us to arrange for duct testing in Malvern, PA<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019ve purchased a house<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you move into a previously owned house, you\u2019ll discover places that need upkeep, refurbishment, and replacements. One part of the house to pay special attention to is the HVAC system. Is the AC getting too old and is ready to be replaced? Has the system received regular maintenance? And what is the condition of the ductwork? We advise you to call our technicians to test the ducts since you won\u2019t have any idea how well the previous owner did upkeep on the ventilation system. This will help your new house get started right with its HVAC system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every three to five years<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We consider duct testing a regular maintenance job. It doesn\u2019t need to be done as often as standard HVAC system maintenance, which is twice a year. We instead recommend that homeowners schedule it every three to five years, depending on how much use they get out of the HVAC system and how old it is. Early detection of air leaks and damaged ducts will prevent most of the worst effects of leakage and mitigate how much money these air leaks waste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
