Common ductwork problems

The ductwork that’s aging could be beginning to show signs of deterioration. Based on the kind of ductwork you have located in your home, generally between 5 and 10 years, the outer liner is beginning or is about to degrade and the insulation starts to disappear. If this occurs in an attic temperature that is more than 100 degrees, it could mean that your air is between 10 and 15 degrees higher when it enters your home, which could cause an increase in cooling and heating costs between 40 and 60 percent. To fix this issue the affected or broken ductwork needs to be replaced.

However, it can also be constructed of ductwork made from sheets of metal (a pipe made from sheet metal) that is then wrapped in insulation after it is put in place.
