Air ducts are the invisible pathways that transport freshly heated or cooled air throughout the home. Cleaning and repairing air ducts can prolong their life, but a major replacement is usually necessary every 15 years for them to work properly. Generally, ductwork lasts 10 to 15 years before issues arise. If your ducts are older than 15 years, it's best to replace them before serious problems occur, such as pests, voids, or even collapsed sections of the ducts.
This way, you can prevent drafts or congested areas and make sure that all parts of your home remain comfortable. Like any other equipment, the duct system also ages. Over time, gaskets, seals, and gaskets can become weak and malfunction. As the ductwork deteriorates, it can reduce comfort and increase energy costs. To avoid these problems, you should replace your ducts every 10 years. This will ensure that the air ducts remain in good condition to provide high air quality indoors.
