An air duct test is a process that inspects the integrity of your heating and cooling system’s ductwork. This test involves pressurizing your air ducts and using specialized equipment to detect any air leaks. By identifying and sealing these leaks, the procedure helps improve energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and overall system performance.

Signs of a Leaking Air Duct

While no one wants to spend money on having air ducts repaired, there are clear signs that indicate you should have your air ducts inspected. If you notice any of the following signs, reach out to us at Scott Hale today:

• Inconsistent Airflow: If you notice inconsistent airflow throughout your home, it could mean air duct leaks are disrupting the proper distribution of conditioned air.
• Increased Energy Bills: Leaky ducts allow conditioned air to escape into unconditioned areas, forcing your HVAC system to work harder and consume more energy to compensate for the loss.
• Poor Indoor Air Quality: If there is an increase in dust, musty odors, or allergy-like symptoms among occupants, it may be due to air duct leaks. Leaks allow contaminants, allergens, and pollutants to enter the ducts and circulate throughout your living spaces, compromising indoor air quality.
