If it’s been a while since you had your ductwork installed, you’re probably wondering whether you may ever need to outright replace it, or if a simple repair would do you just fine. In fact, experts recommend you replace your ductwork every 15 years or so. This is because the materials of the ductwork deteriorate over time, and when this happens it greatly impacts the performance of your HVAC system, which can lead to a reduction in your indoor air quality.
While replacing your ductwork may seem like an expensive hassle, it is definitely worth it if your ductwork is on the older side. Our team at Ambient Edge can work with you on a price schedule that best fits your budget. Call us today at to learn more.

Hot or Cold Spots
If you notice hot or cold spots throughout your home, this may be a sign that your ducts are not functioning as they should. These spots can be a sign of several different problems that can occur with your ductwork ranging from leaks or improper airflow to potential obstructions. Depending on the severity of the issue, if you notice any of these problems with your ductwork, then you may need to have it replaced.
Odd Noises
One of the surest signs that something is not operating as well as it should is when it begins to make strange noises it never made before. If you notice sounds like rattling or clanking within your ductwork, this may be a sign that the ductwork is loose and not as well secured as it should be. If you hear a whistling sound, this is often a big clue that you have a leak somewhere in your ductwork, and you should have it patched immediately. Of course, several leaks may mean a repair is simply too little too late, and you’ll need to replace your ductwork.

Terrible Indoor Air Quality
Do you or someone you live with have chronic breathing issues from asthma, allergies or some other such respiratory condition? The culprit may be your ductwork. Damaged ducts can allow pollutants that should otherwise remain in the ductwork to escape, raining down dust, debris, and other chemicals (possibly even mold) – all substances you definitely should not be breathing in on a regular basis.
Soaring Utility Bills
Do you notice your utility bills continuing to climb every month, yet you’re barely home? It may not be the energy you’re using but the energy you actually don’t even realize you’re wasting. If your ducts are not working as well as they should be, this could cause your HVAC system to work overtime. And if that wasn’t bad enough, if your ductwork is damaging, then all that extra work is literally going out the window (or, rather, through the holes in your ductwork).
Replacing your ductwork may seem like a major inconvenience, both financially and in practice. But it could actually pay off ten-fold down the line when you see how much money you can save monthly on your utility bills.
