Ductwork & Indoor Air Quality in Lethbridge, AB
Dry air, dust and drafts are part of life in a windy prairie city. Your ductwork and air quality equipment can make a big difference to comfort.
Request an HVAC technicianLeaky ducts
Gaps in ductwork in unheated spaces send warm air where it isn't needed. Sealing joints with proper mastic or foil tape can improve comfort in rooms that never seem to warm up.
Dust
Wind-blown dust finds its way inside. A better filter, sealed ducts and a tidy return air path keep less of it circulating. Ask about filter ratings that suit your furnace.
Dry winter air
With afternoon humidity as low as 38% in summer and dry indoor air in winter, many homes benefit from a furnace humidifier. Keep it clean and set it to avoid condensation on windows.
Duct cleaning
Cleaning helps after renovations or if you see heavy dust or debris in the ducts. It isn't needed every year in most homes.
Balancing airflow
Rooms far from the furnace or over the garage can be colder. Adjusting dampers, adding a return or sealing ducts can even things out.
Get help
Tell the technician which rooms are uncomfortable and what you've noticed. Send a request and an HVAC technician will get in touch.
Air filters
A higher-rated filter traps finer dust and pollen, but some furnaces can't push air through very dense filters. Ask the technician which rating suits your system before upgrading.
Fresh air
Tight, well-sealed homes may need a ventilation system to bring in fresh air. A heat recovery ventilator exchanges stale indoor air for fresh outdoor air while keeping most of the heat inside.
Returns matter
Every room needs a path for air to get back to the furnace. Blocked return grilles or doors kept shut can leave rooms stuffy and uneven.
Frequently asked questions
- Will a humidifier cause mould?
- Not if it's set correctly and kept clean. Lower the setting on very cold days if you see condensation on windows.
- How often should ducts be cleaned?
- Only when there's a reason, such as renovation dust, debris or pests. Regular filter changes matter more.
