Does Your Ductwork look like this? If so, you may be heating and, cooling your attic! If your ducts are of the old gray plastic wrapped flexible type they can easily deteriorate with age and start to fall apart. This type of duct was typically installed in homes built during the 70's & 80's. A-Plus can either replace those old ducts or, re-seal your duct system, if it is not falling apart, to like new again. Old ducts such as the ones shown below will continue to fall apart and, leak heated and cooled air from the system into the attic instead of the living space where it belongs (and where you are paying for it to be). This air leakage causes the unit to run more and, increases electric and gas bills.

When was the last time you looked in your attic? Most home owners have no idea their ducts are splitting apart such as these are A supply air leak in the attic will also cause the system to draw in hot or cold, outside or attic air to make up for the supply air lost in the attic. A system has to get back what it puts out, and when a leak occurs it will make up what is not coming back with hot or cold outside air. This is why you would feel cold or hot spot drafts near doors & windows when your duct system is leaking. Call A-Plus today to have your duct system checked and the air leaks fixed to get back the home comfort level your system should deliver.
