Most people understand that the ductwork in their homes is an essential component of the heating and cooling system. Thus, damaged ductwork can directly affect its heating and cooling effectiveness since it’s responsible for distributing warm and cool air throughout your house.
The right mix of hot and cold air is essential to ensure that every room is comfortable. But ductwork has even more benefits that make it crucial to the functioning of your home.
For starters, well-designed and maintained ductwork ensure that your HVAC system runs efficiently, saving you money on energy bills. In addition, it also helps to improve the air quality inside your home. Poorly sealed or insulated ducts can let in contaminated air, which can be harmful to your health.
To ensure the air you breathe is clean and safe, keeping your ductwork in good condition is essential. Furthermore, you will also want to make sure that the ductwork is correctly installed since errors can lead to a myriad of issues, many of which can go unnoticed until its too late
A well-designed, insulated, and installed ductwork is vital to energy conservation. Properly sealed and insulated ducts can prevent energy loss so that you can save on heating and cooling costs. So, with all these benefits, we think it is now clear that you understand the importance of the home’s ductwork. So, the next question is, whom should you hire to install the ductwork? Should you hire a handyman who is cheaper or a more expensive pro?
This article will examine why you need to hire experts to install your ductwork. Also, who is the best person for the job if you want peace of mind knowing it was installed correctly?
Why Hire A Licensed Contractor Versus a Handyman?
When you Google using a search phrase like “HVAC ductwork replacement service near me”, you’ll often run into websites and services provided by handymen. The problem with hiring handymen to repair damaged ductwork or to install fresh ductwork is that they are not qualified enough to do a good job.
Handymen are most likely working based on experience. However, they don’t have the technical skills to ensure that the job is done right. This can mean that you run into issues with your ductwork later on.
Most handymen provide a cheap or low-cost ductwork installation service, but one that will cost you 4x more in the long term because of the problems you will run into that need to be addressed. So getting it done right from the get-go is the best solution.
You Should Hire A C-20 HVAC Contractor
A C-20 HVAC contractor is a licensed professional who fabricates, installs, maintains, and repairs warm-air heating systems, water-heating pumps, ventilating systems, air-conditioning systems, and the ducts used for warm-air heating, ventilating and air-conditioning.
Licensed contractors like us are considered licensed by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB), which means that the CSLB considers it one of the essential licenses for protecting the public. It is because heating, ventilation, and air conditioning services are relied upon by consumers.
To become a licensed C-20 HVAC contractor, individuals usually must be at least 18 years old with a clear criminal record and no felonies. They may also need a high school diploma or GED, but ideally, a bachelor’s degree for some higher-level licensing, which our technicians have.
In addition, on-the-job training is mandatory, along with classroom training with a recognized HVAC training program is required. Professionals must also have worked under a licensed HVAC contractor, which is why our technicians have been with us for years.
As licensed C-20 HVAC contractors, you can be assured that we have the necessary training, experience, and qualifications to ensure that your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are installed, maintained, and repaired correctly.
The licensing requirements guarantee that we can provide high-quality services that meet the necessary safety standards and regulations. Additionally, as licensed contractors, we have a greater accountability level, which helps protect you and your property.
We Help You Save Money
Damaged ductwork can cost homeowners a significant amount of money in the short and long term. Our ductwork removal services aim to remove the damaged ductwork and replace it with well-built fresh ductwork. This saves you from a whole heap of trouble moving forward.
When ducts are damaged, cool air leaks out and then the heating and cooling system is forced to work harder to maintain the desired temperature. The result is higher energy bills and a shorter lifespan of your HVAC system.
Additionally, suppose the ducts need to be adequately sealed. In that case, dirt and debris can enter, which is then circulated through the home, affecting indoor air quality and potentially leading to various health problems for the occupants.
It is worth bearing in mind that repairing or replacing damaged ductwork can be expensive and disruptive, requiring the services of a professional HVAC contractor. To minimize costs and ensure optimal performance, it is essential to have regular ductwork inspections and to address any damage promptly.
