Duct Diagnostics

Duct Diagnostics & Airflow Optimization in Boca Raton, FL


Why Your Home Needs Duct Diagnostics

Your AC system works hard to keep your Florida home cool. But if your ducts have problems, your comfort suffers and your energy bills rise. At Sensible Cooling, we find that most Boca Raton homes with comfort issues have duct problems that go unnoticed.

Think of your ductwork as your home's breathing system. When it works right, every room stays comfortable. When it fails, some rooms get too hot while others feel too cold. Our expert technicians use proven methods to spot and fix these hidden issues.


The Four Warning Signs of Duct Problems


If you notice any of these issues in your Boca Raton home, your ductwork likely needs attention:


1. Uneven Temperatures
Some rooms stay hot while others feel like a freezer? This classic sign points to airflow problems that waste money and reduce comfort.

2. High Energy Bills
Leaky ducts can waste up to 30% of your cooling budget. That means nearly a third of your hard-earned money could be cooling your attic or crawlspace.

3. Weak Air Flow
When vents barely blow air, your system works harder but delivers less comfort. This strains your equipment and shortens its life.

4. Excessive Dust and Poor Air Quality
Leaky return ducts pull in dirty attic air, garage fumes, or outdoor pollution. This explains why you might dust often but your home never seems clean.


Our Complete 4-Step Diagnostic Process


At Sensible Cooling, we take a scientific approach to duct problems in Boca Raton homes:


Step 1: System Assessment


Our trained technicians check your entire HVAC system first. We verify your equipment specs, measure static pressure, and review your comfort concerns. This tells us how your system should perform versus how it actually works.


Step 2: Visual Inspection


We look for obvious issues like:


  • Disconnected or damaged ductwork

  • Missing or damaged insulation

  • Kinked flex ducts restricting airflow

  • Improper duct design causing pressure problems


For hard-to-see areas, we use special cameras that let us inspect deep into your duct system without cutting holes in your walls.


Step 3: Advanced Testing


This step finds problems invisible to the eye:


  • Airflow Measurement: We measure how much air flows through each vent

  • Leak Testing: We use special equipment to find and measure air leaks

  • Pressure Testing: We check if your ducts have too much resistance

  • Thermal Imaging: Our infrared cameras find temperature differences that show where energy gets wasted


Step 4: Custom Solutions


Based on what we find, we create a plan that might include:


  • Duct Sealing: We use professional-grade materials (not duct tape) that last for decades

  • Strategic Repairs: We fix disconnected sections and replace damaged ducts

  • Insulation Upgrades: We add proper insulation in attics and crawlspaces

  • Airflow Balancing: We adjust your system so every room gets the right amount of air

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I Change My Air Conditioner Filter?

Most air conditioning filters should be replaced monthly, especially during peak usage months (April–September in Florida). However, the ideal frequency depends on several factors: Air Quality: Homes with pets or allergy sufferers may require more frequent filter changes. Household Size: More occupants generate more dust, necessitating more frequent replacements. Local Environment: Dusty or high-pollen areas may require filters to be changed more often. We recommend checking your air filter regularly and replacing it when it appears dirty or clogged. Keeping your filter clean helps your AC system run efficiently and enhances indoor air quality.
