Ductwork tends to be one of those out-of-sight, out-of-mind kind of things when it comes to your air conditioning system. Without proper ductwork, however, air can’t be dispersed evenly throughout your home. What’s worse, faulty ductwork pulls dust, mold, and other pollutants into your home, which puts your family’s health at risk because of worsened allergies and other indoor air quality issues.
Eventually, the ductwork will need to be replaced, so it’s important to know the signs indicating a need for AC duct replacement and who to call when the time comes.

5 Signs Your Ductwork Needs To be Replaced
1. Your ductwork is old.
Is your ductwork more than 50 years old? If so, it could contain asbestos, which is dangerous for anyone exposed.
2. There’s visible mold in your home.
Florida is no stranger to humidity and extra humid conditions can result in mold developing in your ductwork. Since mold is a potential health hazard, it’s important to have your ducts cleaned or have a total air conditioning vents replacement once you start noticing signs of it.
3. The ductwork has cracks, tears, or holes.
If your ductwork has cracks, tears, or holes, the air produced by your AC will seep through these outlets, costing you comfort and money.
4. Your house has inconsistent temperatures throughout.
Do you experience cold spots or hot spots in certain areas of your home? This could be a sign of faulty ductwork caused by unnoticed leaks hindering the even transport of air.
5. There’s dirt or debris around registers.
Excess dirt and debris around registers are usually a result of accumulated dust, dirt, pet hair, and small insects. This causes a breach in your ductwork where the air tends to escape.
