Heating and cooling problems can affect comfort, energy use, and system reliability. This guide explains the most important things Bay Area property owners should know.
Uneven Temperatures
Rooms that remain too hot or cold may have restricted, leaking, disconnected, or poorly balanced ducts.
Weak Airflow
Low airflow from certain vents can result from crushed flex duct, closed dampers, blockages, leakage, or design problems.
Dust and Odors
Openings in return ducts may pull dust or odors from attics, crawlspaces, garages, or wall cavities.
High Energy Use
Conditioned air lost outside the living area can force the system to run longer.
Visible Damage or Noise
Torn insulation, disconnected sections, rattling, whistling, and collapsed duct runs are reasons to request an inspection.
