What we did
A leaking duct system brought us to this Lexington home in August. Leaky ducts let conditioned air escape before it reaches the living space, which means the HVAC system works harder and the house feels less comfortable than it should.
We replaced three of the supply runs located under the house. Supply runs carry heated or cooled air from the system to the rooms, so when they leak, that air is lost to the space beneath the home instead of reaching the people inside. During the visit, we made sure the new ductwork was installed correctly to prevent further issues.
We also talked with the homeowner about a maintenance plan and offered the chance to sign up for continued service. A maintenance plan gives us regular opportunities to check on the system, including the parts that are out of sight. Ductwork under a house in Kentucky goes through humid summers and cold winters, and problems there are easy to miss until they show up as higher bills or uneven temperatures. Replacing the leaking runs and keeping an eye on the system going forward helps the HVAC system keep functioning the way it should.
