Clean Ducts Provide Amazing Performance

Erin M • October 29, 2018

What do noisy ducts mean?

 

Is your ductwork noisy? One of the first symptoms of problems with your ducts will be a whistling, wheezing, or popping noise. This is a sign that the system is working harder than normal to maintain your comfort.

 

Your HVAC duct system is a primary component of your Hamilton home's heating and cooling system. Without proper duct, installation your system could be wasting a lot of money.

 

A duct system provides a controlled path for airflow throughout the home. The system can be made out of sheet metal, fiberglass ductboard, insulated plastic, or cloth. Many times, a combination of these materials is used in the same home. At Adam’s Air, our experienced heating contractors know a furnace is only as good as the venting system.

 

Why?

 

Poor venting can cause noise and improper combustion, but it can also lead to flue gas leakage into a heated space, a serious problem with deadly consequences. As the problem gets worse, the next clue will usually be an abnormally high utility bill. Many times, this will go unnoticed until the unit is unable to keep you comfortable.

 

With winter coming, now is the time to call in an experienced Hamilton HVAC professional to examine your ducts and diagnose the problem.

 

If you have a metal duct system that is not insulated, there are some basic upgrades to enhance your home's comfort levels as well as save you money on your utility bill.

 

Sealing the system is essential. Applying a special mastic to the cracks and connectors to make them airtight, ensures that the conditioned air does not leak out into areas where it is not needed. AtAdam’s Air we're a licensed HVAC contractor, ensuring homeowners' comfort throughout Hamilton and beyond since 2006. When your system is running smoothly, you can be confident that your family is breathing safe, clean, comfortable air. Call us today, to schedule your HVAC inspection!

Furnace tune-ups are essential maintenance procedures designed to ensure that heating systems operate efficiently and safely. During a tune-up, a qualified technician typically performs a thorough inspection of the furnace, checking for any signs of wear or potential issues. This includes cleaning and adjusting burners, inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks or corrosion, and ensuring that all safety controls are functioning correctly.  Regular tune-ups not only enhance the efficiency of the furnace, leading to lower energy bills, but also extend the lifespan of the unit and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs down the line. Additionally, a well-maintained furnace contributes to improved indoor air quality, making it a crucial investment for any homeowner.

Program Your AC and Furnace Settings

By Adam's Air Systems • July 15, 2024
Properly programming your AC and furnace settings can drastically improve your home's energy efficiency and comfort levels. Start by setting a consistent schedule to match your daily routine. For instance, during the summer, set your AC to a higher temperature when you are away from home and lower it when you are typically there.  Conversely, in the winter, lower the furnace settings when the house is empty and raise them when you are back. Utilizing programmable thermostats or smart home devices can automate this process, making it more convenient and reducing the chance of human error. Additionally, it's essential to perform regular maintenance, such as changing filters and checking for leaks, to ensure your HVAC system operates at peak performance.
