Before you replace your HVAC unit with a bigger system, you should have Mr. Duct Cleaner perform a Clean Seal on your ducts. “Bigger is better and bigger means it will create more air” is a FALSE assumption that inexperienced HVAC contractors tend to make. Bigger means more expensive, which means more commission. That is NOT the right way to solve the problem! It is VERY common for HVAC systems to be oversized. Too many people are trying to solve the poor air circulation problem the WRONG way! Why do you think systems are commonly oversized? Because the HVAC contractor was trying to create more airflow – they think.
Help the air go where it is supposed to go first! Have a Clean Seal performed on your HVAC system.
Last week our Mr. Duct Cleaner North Dallas franchise was called out to a Texas home that the owners believed their current HVAC unit was undersized. They had a problem with poor air flow, the HVAC unit working constantly and high utility bills. The customer was considering buying a bigger unit and possibly doing major duct system additions to fix the problem; however, they could not afford the over $14,000 replacement cost.
Luckily, they called Mr. Duct Cleaner. Our professional team performed a Clean Seal. The scope of the project ended up expanding to a few ducts being totally replaced. This is common when the leakage in the home measures as major (in this case it was almost 100%, signaling no conditioned air was going where it was supposed to). That means that if the owners had spent money for a new, bigger sized unit, they STILL would have had little conditioned air going to the living spaces.
Once the major duct repairs were completed, the professionally trained Pro Seal team at Mr. Duct Cleaner performed a Clean Seal and the results were ASTOUNDING. A 92.7% improvement was achieved. The homeowner no longer is considering upsizing their HVAC unit. Here is their review:
“They did Aeroseal for us and we had an excellent experience. They identified and fixed some major duct issues. They improved our HVAC so much we no longer need to replace it. Saved us thousands.”
