Air Conditioner Duct Leaking Repair For Your Home Or Business

What is duct leaking?

Duct leaking is a common HVAC problem that causes loss of energy in homes and businesses. It is quite an issue as it causes poor air conditioning and leads to higher energy bills.

Duct leaks can be as a result of disconnected pipes or holes in the pipes. On average, the leaks cause a 10% loss of the supply air and a 12% loss of the return air.

The leaking can happen inside or outside the building. Air leaks that happen inside the building are less worse as they happen in the conditioned space. However, they lead to compromised air conditioning and also energy loss.

The duct leaking problem can be diagnosed by Air Conditioner Expert. The professional uses tools that measure the airflow rate and pressure to detect any decrease as a result of disconnection or holes.
