Top Reasons to Replace Duct Work:1. Over time, duct work gets dirty from all the air born dust in the home. This dust can harbor all kinds of allergens. Metal duct work can be cleaned, but flex duct work cannot. The inner liner is made of plastic and this can rupture during cleaning, allowing the insulation wrap to then be free to blow down into the house. This will leave you with a lower utility bill and cleaner house.

2. Over time, duct work starts to come apart at the connecting seams. This allows conditioned air to leak into the attic. This will cause a rise in utility cost, as now your A/C system will have to work double time to make up for the lost air. For the most part, if your duct system is in this bad of shape, it will need to be replaced. Luckily, we at Strikeforce can help!
3. R value is used to rate insulation's effectiveness to slow down the transfer of heat from a warmer location to a cooler one. The higher the R value, the most effective the insulation. In most older homes, the duct work is a R4. This is effective in the northeast but not Dallas. In Dallas, it should be a minimum of R6 and in some cases, and R8. R6 is building code in most places these days.
