Are Leaky Ducts Really That Big a Deal?

You see, leaky ductwork can allow hot air from unconditioned spaces in your home to infiltrate your system. When that happens, the air cooled by your AC is warmed up. And whenB that happens, your air conditioner is going to have to work harder than it should in order to cool your home.
