Ductwork Repair & Replacement Services in Southwest Florida
People replace air conditioners and are surprised when the new system does not fix the hot back bedroom. Very often the equipment was never the problem. Much of the Englewood housing stock was built in the 1960s and 1970s, and duct systems of that age leak at the seams, sag in the attic, lose insulation, and in humid attic conditions accumulate moisture and biological growth. Leaking supply duct dumps cooled air into the attic; leaking return duct pulls hot, humid attic air into the system and makes the dehumidification problem worse. Neither is fixed by a bigger condenser.
