When To Consider a Duct Leakage Testing Service in Charleston County

Duct blasting is a diagnostic procedure for measuring air leaks in ductwork systems.

At Aptus Home Services, we use a specialized fan sealed to either the supply or return side of the ductwork. The system is pressurized, and the amount of air needed to maintain the pressure is measured. If excessive air is needed to maintain pressure, it could indicate a duct leak.

Here are some times when you might need ductwork testing.

  • High Energy Bills: If your heating or cooling system costs are higher than expected, duct leaks might be forcing your HVAC system to work harder to compensate for lost air.
  • Uneven Heating or Cooling: If certain rooms in your home feel significantly warmer or colder than others, leaks in the duct system may be affecting airflow.
  • Poor Indoor Air Quality: Leaky ducts can allow dust, allergens, and contaminants from unconditioned spaces, like attics or crawl spaces, to enter the system, reducing air quality.
  • After Duct Sealing or Insulation Upgrades: A follow-up duct leakage test can verify that repairs or upgrades were done successfully to reduce leaks.
