There are air vents and ducts throughout your entire house. The amount and number of these will depend on not only the size but the layout of your Michigan home.

Like anything else that is manufactured, ducts and vents will have a lifespan and then will begin to breakdown and you may develop leaks and holes in your duct work.  If this happens there is a potential for things like fungi, mold, bacteria, dust mites and other types of allergens to begin accumulating in those ducts and leaking out into the air that you breathe.

Questions to Ask Yourself

• Have you seen an increase in the cost of heating or cooling your Michigan home?
• Do you go from one room to another and note changes in the room temperature?
• Do some rooms seem drafty and others feel like there is no air circulating?
• Has there been a sudden appearance of allergies or even other types of illness in your home, notably to do with your breathing?
• Are you sneezing, wheezing and do you have itchy eyes or skin?
• Could the air that you are breathing be making you sick?

Diagnosing Your Heating and Cooling System

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may very well be looking at faulty heating and cooling ducts. But, how do you know if it is the ducts and what will it cost just to diagnose the problem?

Duct work runs throughout the entire house. It is hidden behind the walls and ceilings so you need to ask yourself how you will determine:

• if there is a problem with the duct work, and
• where the problem is located.

Traditional ways of fixing leaking ducts breakdown in a short period of time.  The caulking dries up or the tape leaks.
