Duct Replacement and Attic Insulation from 1st Choice Plumbing, Heating & Air Solutions

Many people don’t realize that the average American spends around 90% of their time indoors. With so much time spent inside, it’s crucial to ensure that the indoor air quality (IAQ) in your home is properly maintained, especially in the ductwork. Attic issues are often overlooked, but they can have a significant impact on the whole house. In fact, 90% of U.S. homes are under-insulated, and nearly 30% of the air that moves through a home’s duct system is lost due to leaks, poor connections, or holes. These attic problems can lead to higher energy bills, distribute airborne contaminants, and reduce overall comfort. That’s why addressing attic issues is a key step in improving energy efficiency, comfort, and indoor air quality. At 1st Choice Plumbing, Heating & Air Solutions, we are proud to be certified AirCare® Professionals. This certification means we can help homeowners go beyond just their HVAC units to optimize the entire system. Our whole-home approach includes assessing attic ductwork and insulation to identify areas where comfort and energy efficiency can be improved.

The Whole-Home Approach Helps Maximize Energy Efficiency

When we assess an HVAC system, we don’t just focus on the equipment that heats and cools your home. Our whole-home approach involves looking at how air circulates throughout your space and identifying any issues that might prevent your HVAC system from operating at its best. By considering the entire system, we ensure that your HVAC investment provides maximum comfort and energy savings.

Did You Know That Ductwork Makes Up the Largest Part of Your HVAC System?

Your home’s ductwork plays a crucial role in your HVAC system’s performance. Even with advanced heating and cooling technology, your system’s efficiency can be hindered if the attic ductwork is damaged or compromised. Our Certified AirCare® Professionals are equipped with the knowledge and tools to assess the condition of your attic’s duct system, ensuring it functions properly and maximizing your HVAC system’s efficiency.

Our Technicians Will Work with You to Evaluate and Solve Energy Inefficiencies

Our team of Certified AirCare® Professionals will help you assess your home’s HVAC system to identify areas for improvement. By sharing any concerns — such as rooms that are too hot or cold, musty odors, drafts, or any other comfort-related issues — you’re helping us better understand the problem. Using advanced tools, our professionals will inspect your attic’s insulation levels and examine the ductwork for leaks, holes, or poor connections. They will document their findings with video and photos, showing you exactly where your attic may be under-insulated and how we can improve the system’s overall efficiency. If your system isn’t cooling your home as effectively as it should, air conditioner repair might be necessary. Our professionals can diagnose the issue and recommend the appropriate repairs to help restore comfort and efficiency.

Properly Sized Ducts and Increased Insulation Can Resolve Efficiency Issues

When your ductwork is properly sized, sealed, and insulated, it not only boosts comfort and energy efficiency but also helps prevent the spread of airborne pollutants and indoor allergens. As a Certified AirCare® Professional, 1st Choice Plumbing, Heating & Air Solutions can identify and resolve ductwork issues and suggest insulation upgrades to improve your home’s environment by:

• Caring for the air: Addressing hidden problems that can distribute contaminants, support mold, and trigger allergies.
• Reducing wasted energy: Fixing leaks and other inefficiencies to optimize your HVAC system’s performance.
Enhancing comfort: Ensuring more even and comfortable temperatures throughout your home.

If you’re experiencing rising energy bills, it could be a sign that your HVAC system is working harder than necessary due to inefficiencies in your ductwork or insulation. Tackling these issues can help lower your energy costs and improve your system’s overall performance.
