There are numerous benefits of fixing leaking ductwork.
- I have enjoyed these benefits for the past couple of months, the main one being I can save money on energy consumption.
I was using a heat pump some months ago at my house. The unit was very old, I had it since I graduated college, about 13 years ago. My energy bill was high, and I remember it rising to about 40% of my income. I went searching for a new air conditioning system that would improve my life. I figured it would help if I spoke to a cooling specialist to get advice on the most suitable unit for me. I had a few important criteria the new unit would meet including being energy efficient, safe, and affordable. After hours of deliberating, I settled on the mini split air conditioner and a wifi thermostat to go with it. I could not wait to start seeing the benefits promised by the cooling expert down in the HVAC business. When I received my energy bill the first month, I was shocked. The energy consumption had considerably reduced. I also noticed that the indoor air quality had improved. To keep enjoying these benefits, the technician advised that I schedule regular air conditioner tune-ups that would ensure the duct sealing stays put and the HVAC ducts remain clean. The new contractor who did my installation also had the zone control system fitted to fix the uneven temperature issue. A crucial lesson I learned from the entire replacement process was that even the temperature control device needs to be serviced to maintain optimal function.
