How to Spot the Signs of Clogged Ducts

Do You Have Clogged Ducts in Your HVAC System?

Having a clogged duct in your HVAC system can be a major problem if not addressed right away. Clogged ducts reduce the efficiency of your system, wasting energy and money, and can even lead to complete system failure. That’s why it’s important to identify the signs of clogged ducts and take action before it’s too late.

At Comfort Hounds Heating & Cooling, we know how important it is to keep your HVAC system running smoothly. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you spot the signs of clogged ducts.

Reduced Air Flow

One of the most common signs of clogged ducts is reduced airflow. If you notice that your system is struggling to keep up with the temperature, it’s possible that your ducts are clogged. This can be caused by a build-up of dust and debris in the ducts, or a blockage caused by a foreign object.

Higher Energy Bills

Another sign of clogged ducts is an increase in your energy bills. If you’ve noticed that your bills are higher than normal, it could be because your system is working harder to push air through the ducts. A clogged duct will reduce the efficiency of your system, which will result in higher energy bills.

Loud or Unusual Noises

Unusual noises coming from your HVAC system can also be a sign of clogged ducts. If you hear a loud banging or rattling noise, it could be caused by air trying to force its way through a clogged duct.

Your Home Isn’t as Comfortable as Usual

Lastly, if your HVAC system isn’t cooling or heating your home as well as it used to, it could be a sign of clogged ducts. When air is unable to move through the ducts efficiently, your system won’t be able to heat or cool your home as effectively.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s time to call in the experts. At Comfort Hounds Heating & Cooling, we’ll be able to identify the source of your clogged ducts and make the necessary repairs. We’ll also be able to recommend ways to prevent clogged ducts in the future, such as regular maintenance and cleaning.

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.
