In any system, there will be inefficiencies. This is the case with your HVAC system that you depend on for nice temperatures inside of your home, but there are some situations that you can address to improve the efficiency of it. If you rely on forced air to control temperatures in your home, there will be ducts that funnel the air from the HVAC unit to all the different parts of your home. These ducts can leak, and if they do, you won’t just lose the temperate air coming from your HVAC unit, you might also pick up air, dust, and smells from other areas of your home that you will get brought into your living space.
The most common spot for leaks to develop is close to the unit itself. This is because the pressure will be higher there than anywhere else. It might develop in a joint between two sections, or it could be that the ducts got damaged somehow. Finding and repairing these leaks can save you a lot of money, and it will make your home much more comfortable.
