Ductwork Installation & Repair in Mount Vernon, WA

What Causes Air Duct Problems?

Customers who come to us with air duct issues often describe similar concerns: they experience temperature inconsistencies throughout their home; they can’t heat or cool their homes properly; they have high utility bills; and they often have poor indoor air quality.

Air duct problems are often caused by poor insulation, leaks in the air ducts, and airflow imbalances.

• Poor insulation: Poorly insulated air ducts, or a lack of insulation, can lead to condensation developing inside the ductwork. This will then result in mold growth or rust. If your air ducts are not properly insulated, they can also cause you to experience inconsistent heating or cooling and contribute to high utility bills.
• Leaking ductwork: The typical home loses up to a third of indoor air due to leaking ductwork. This causes your HVAC equipment to work harder, which can lead to recurring system problems or early equipment failure. CPI provides top-tier air sealing services.
• Airflow imbalances: If you’re not getting enough air in particular rooms, make sure there aren’t any items blocking the air registers. If obstructed air registers aren’t the source of the problem, there are likely open seams in your ductwork. Poorly sized ductwork can also contribute to airflow issues.
