More often than not, the air ducts in our Massachusetts homes are one of the most neglected areas in our heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems.
Out of sight, out of mind. Hidden behind the walls and ceilings of your Northborough, MA, home, air ducts, or ductwork, play a vital role in your indoor air quality (IAQ) by circulating conditioned air from your air conditioner (AC), furnace, and heat pump. In many ways, air ducts are the lungs of a home.
Neglected ductwork can circulate dust, bacteria, mold, and dirt along with the heated and cooled air throughout your home. Improperly installed or sealed air ducts force your HVAC system to work harder and that may cost you more money in energy bills.

One way dust and debris enter your Massachusetts home’s ductwork is through cracks and holes in the system. Heated and cooled air can leak out of your air ducts using that same route. If neglected, those unsealed connections and holes will compromise the air quality in your home and cause energy loss that can translate into higher utility bills.
Ducts move air, and air is invisible. So to determine if your ducts work or not, air properties must be measured. An NCI-Certified Professional can measure how much air goes into each room and compare it to how much is needed. They will also take other measurements including temperatures and pressures to determine how well your ducts work. Then your NCI-Certified Professional will review the results of the test with you.
Unfortunately, few have the knowledge or own the tools and instruments necessary to measure the performance of your duct system. If they can’t measure it, they have no idea how to fix it, or even where to begin. Most just assume the ducts are working fine.
