Dirty air ducts are a common problem in South Florida due to the high temperatures and humidity. Poor duct cleaning can cause damage to the air conditioning system and reduce indoor air quality, leading to a decrease in comfort and an increase in energy bills. Wrinkled ducts can obstruct airflow, but this effect is even more pronounced when a section of the duct network collapses. Most duct collapses are caused by age, although they can also be the result of mechanical impacts.
Ducts are more likely to collapse at weak spots, such as joints that bend around corners or near loose or corroded joints. Air ducts can be damaged due to a variety of factors, such as age, poor design, damage caused by rodents, and the need for a subcontractor to access the roof. It's important to note that the air inside an average home can be up to five times worse than the air outside. Dust, pollen, pet dander, and even airborne germs can accumulate in even the best-maintained homes. The good news is that Freezing Mechanical has authorized duct cleaning specialists with hundreds of hours of experience.
