Even the best ductwork can take a beating over the years. Heavy use means joints can become loose, kinked and dented, causing you to lose as much as 20 percent of your conditioned air. In a worst-case scenario, a section of your ductwork could completely break away, sending your heated or cooled air to a place in your home where it’s not intended to go. 
If you’re considering a new heating or cooling system for your home, you might be tempted to go online to make your purchase. Those Internet deals can look pretty attractive. But be wary. An online purchase could wind up costing you. Here are just three of the problems you may face if you buy online. 
A tightly sealed home with sufficient insulation, weatherstripping and efficient heating and cooling saves you energy and money. That’s what you want. Unfortunately, a home that is too tightly sealed can harbor stagnant air, humidity, contaminants and pollutants. It can also attract mold, bacteria, dust mites and fungi. This is because the ventilation’s inadequate. 
If the quality of the air in your home is a priority, you may have a furnace that’s equipped with the right MERV filter and an electronic air cleaner. But while these steps help to ensure that your air is free of particulate matter, other unseen substances could be putting you and your family at risk. Carbon monoxide, radon and volatile organic compounds have the potential to seriously damage your health and that of your loved ones. Although installing carbon monoxide and radon detectors is an important measure, additional steps will help to ensure that your indoor air is as free of contaminants as possible. -
