Ft Myers Air Conditioner Duct Work Inspections

With the hottest days of the year behind us this is a great time to think about having your air conditioner's duct work inspected by licensed air conditioning contractor in Ft Myers.  The ducts carry the cooled air from your equipment and distribute it throughout your home (or office).  Any leaks or tears in the duct work can result in loss of cooling, higher repair bills, and shorten the life expectancy of your equipment!  Most homes now use fiberglass, and flex duct to make up the dust system, it is cheaper and easier to install than the sheet metal ducts used in years past.  However, as flex duct is partly comprised of plastic ... that plastic can begin to erode or decompose over a period of 5 - 10 years.   Just this fact alone is sufficient cause to have your ducts inspected every 5 years or so, other indications of possible trouble might be ...

Any known or suspected animal activity in your attic or under your home
 (depending on where your ducts are located).

Poor air flow from a specific vent.

Differences in air flow pressure from one vent to another, or the farther the vent is 
from the air conditioning equipment.

Insufficient cooling in one room while other rooms are comfortable.

Unusually high electric bills.

Strange noises coming from the a/c ducts.

Often times we find the ducts themselves to be intact, but the sealant, typically referred to as "mastic" has been applied unevenly or incorrectly.  Other times the mastic has developed cracks or chipped off as a result of expansion and contraction due to variances in temperature from one season to another.
