The ductwork is the network of pathways that carries that air to each room, and brings air back so the system can do it again. If those pathways leak, get crushed, or come loose, a good piece of equipment cannot make up for it. The rooms still feel uneven, and the system runs longer to try to catch up.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"color: #051d3e; font-weight: 800; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-color: #ff8000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.energystar.gov\/saveathome\/heating-cooling\/duct-sealing\" target=\"_newtab\" rel=\"noopener\">ENERGY STAR<\/a> reports that in a typical house, about 20 to 30 percent of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts. That air often ends up in a crawlspace or attic, which is space you are not trying to heat.
