As a homeowner, you know when your air conditioner is not working to maximum capacity because the air it produces is not very comfortable. For example, when you put your hand in front of your AC vents and barely feel a trickle of cool air emerging, there is definitely a problem. The smart homeowner will quickly contact James Lane Air Conditioning & Plumbing to visit your residence, fix the problem and restore comfort.

Your trained and licensed James Lane technician will determine the cause of your AC’s issue, then create and present a cost-effective solution to you.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF YOUR AC PERFORMING POORLY? 

 

One cause of poor air conditioning performance is duct leakage. This occurs as the result of improperly installed or poorly maintained ductwork. Leaks in the ductwork allow conditioned air to drip into areas where it has absolutely no value with respect to keeping you cool. It may also permit pollutants to enter the air stream.

Ducts may experience thermal leakage if they pass through spaces that are unconditioned, so they should be well insulated in these types of areas. Leakage in the ductwork may also lead to pressure imbalances, which can cause some areas of your home to become drafty or too warm. Unbalanced air flow is another symptom of duct leakage.

Your James Lane technician will ensure that your ductwork is well-designed going forward  in order to ensure unobstructed airflow between supply and return vents. One way to ensure this is to include supply and return vents, or wall and door grilles, in every room.
