How to Stop Condensation on Your AC Ducts

If you notice condensation on your air ducts, it’s important to take action to stop the problem. Condensation on air ducts can lead to a number of problems, including mold growth, rust, and even structural damage to your home.

There are a few things you can do to stop condensation on your air ducts:

1. Make sure your air conditioner is the right size for your home.

An air conditioner that’s too big for your home will cool the air too quickly, leading to condensation on the air ducts.

2. Check your ductwork for leaks.

Leaky ductwork can allow humid air into the ducts, which will cause condensation.

3. Use a dehumidifier in your home.

Dehumidifiers will help to remove excess moisture from the air, which will reduce the chances of condensation on the air ducts.

4. Increase ventilation in your home.

Making sure there’s enough ventilation will help to circulate the air and keep the humidity levels down.

5. Call a professional heating and cooling company like Comfort Hounds Heating & Cooling.

We can inspect your ductwork and make sure it’s in good condition and properly sealed. We can also help you choose the right size air conditioner for your home and make sure it’s installed correctly.

Don’t let condensation on your air ducts ruin your comfort this summer! Call Comfort Hounds Heating & Cooling today at 919-578-7798 for all your heating and cooling needs!

As a new homeowner, my HVAC system needed help. The AC, duct-work, and furnace were all breaking down. Rob and his team at Comfort Hounds came out and fixed everything.- The AC works better and doesn't have to run as often.- The ducts now have dampers so the heat and air spread more evenly throughout the house.- The furnace heats our house faster and easier than before.- There are no more big swings in temperature.I could go on, but the point is that our HVAC system is now running properly thanks to Comfort Hounds.Next is the price, HVAC repair is always expensive, but Comfort Hounds has the most competitive pricing out of the 4 other HVAC companies I've used in the past.Lastly, Rob and his team were patient with us. They stayed well past the allotted time to fix our HVAC system. They spent time with us explaining how we could keep our system running well and how to save money on our electricity bill. They never rushed us despite having other appointments to make.I will continue using Rob and his team for their skills, price, and patience. I highly recommend them.

Great company-friendly-professional-timely. They have been maintaining my hvac for two years. Quick to return calls/texts and provide service. Old system finally needed replacement and they were able to do so quickly and provide financing that met my budget requirements.

Quick call back, same day service for my broken AC. Rob broke down pros and cons of repair vs replacing for my unit and went the extra mile to be sure I had the right system size and HVAC coil to match my heat pump and my sq footage for my house. He also did some maintenance and extra work on issues when installing the new system to be sure it could work at full capacity.Great communication and didn't treat me different being a female. I'll definitely be returning!

I had an excellent experience with comfort hounds. My AC had gone out and was getting uncomfortably hot in the house. I have called several different companies and nobody had an appointments for days. Then I noticed comfort hounds said they were open after hours and within 20 minutes of my call they were here working on my air conditioning and had it repaired and working at 7:00 in the evening. I was really impressed with their quick and courteous service. I went ahead and signed up for the twice a year maintenance check so that I don't end up in an emergency situation again.

Really happy I went with these guys. My HVAC went out and they were able to come diagnose the problem very quickly. While they had the parts on the truck and could do the repair same day I opted to replace my system. Rob was very knowledgeable of his products and what would work best for my home and able to give me a quote within 24 hours. Rob called to check on us after a particularly cold Sunday night to see if we needed space heaters or anything, super thoughtful. The new system 100% solves the problems I had with the old system - my upstairs is finally warm.Definitely would recommend to a friend.
