Common Ductwork Issues

• Duct Leakage: Duct leakage is a costly issue because your air escapes before it reaches certain rooms. This means that your home isn’t reaching the ideal temperature.
• Under-insulated ducts: If your duct system is missing insulation, it will also prevent your home from obtaining your desired temperature.
• Unbalanced airflow: This is when ducts deliver too much warm or cold air into a specific room, while other parts of the house get too little air.

How do I know if my ducts need to be cleaned?

When there is dust/dirt build up on and in your ducts, an unpleasant odour within your home, and/or noticeable changes in people’s breathing (ie coughing, sneezing, sniffling without illness) within your home.

What happens if I don’t clean my ducts?

Ducts can collect dust, mould, moisture, pests, and more when neglected. So you must clean your home’s ducts to avoid unnecessary sickness and costly repairs.

How often should ducts be cleaned?

Depending on the climate where you live, in Ontario, for example, it is recommended to get your ducts cleaned approximately every 3 years. However, if you have pets, have recently moved into a new home, or have family members with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues, you may want to increase the frequency of cleanings. Also, if anyone smokes or your home was subjected to water damage, then you should consider investing in an additional ductwork cleaning to remove any potential pollutants or contaminants that may have started to build up within the ducts.

How much does duct cleaning cost?

When it comes to ductwork cleaning, many factors can influence the overall cost of the service. The size of your home and duct system, the extent of the buildup within the air ducts, the number of vents on your property, the type of ductwork your home has, and the location and accessibility of the ducts all play a role in the final cost. However, on average, the cost of a cleaning can range from a couple to a few hundred dollars. The benefits to your health and the efficiency of your HVAC system make it a worthwhile investment.

Is duct cleaning messy?

Not with Lancaster! Our technicians treat your home as their home. Protective measures our technicians take include shoe coverings and floor runners. We also ensure that all mess is cleaned before we leave.

Why does my ductwork “pop” when my furnace starts or stops? 

If there’s a flaw or damage in your ductwork, you’ll often hear “popping” sounds, indicating there’s more airflow than your ductwork can manage. Trouble with your ductwork can lead to issues with ventilation and air quality, such as:

• Energy waste
• Equipment failure or overheating
• Inconsistent heating and cooling
• Damage to the AC’s compressor
• Mould and mildew
