FAQ

Ductwork & Airflow Problems Questions

How do I know if my problem is the AC unit or the ductwork?

If the whole house struggles evenly, it is more likely the equipment. If specific rooms are worse than others while the rest of the home feels fine, ductwork is a common culprit.

Is it safe for me to inspect my own attic ductwork?

Only from an easily and safely accessible area, without climbing on ceiling joists or handling the ductwork. For a real evaluation, NILOV can inspect it properly.

Can ductwork problems increase my electric bill?

Yes. Leaky or poorly designed ductwork loses conditioned air before it ever reaches the room, which means the system runs longer to compensate.
