You may have increased humidity, odors, allergens and a host of other contaminants blowing directly into your living spaces thanks to faulty ductwork.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Significant added stress to your HVAC system<\/strong> \u2013 a system that has to fight hard against the effects of faulty ductwork is a system under continual stress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Excess wear and tear<\/strong> \u2013 all HVAC systems will accrue a certain level of wear and tear each year, but when your system is battling poor ductwork, the wear and tear will accrue quickly and excessively.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Premature aging<\/strong> \u2013 excessive wear and consistent stress will prematurely age just about any system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Concerned about your home\u2019s ductwork in Ponte Vedra, FL, or just want to make sure it is not faulty?<strong> Then call the indoor air quality experts at Climate Masters today!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Odds are, you don\u2019t think too much about your ductwork.
