– Regular Inspections: Inspect flexible ducting at least once a year for damage, especially in high-flow areas. Any damage discovered needs to be fixed right away.

– Cleaning: Remove dust and debris regularly, clean with a hoover or damp cloth and dry thoroughly afterwards.

– Repair Damaged Pipes: promptly repair small cracks or holes, and replace damaged sections if necessary.

– Maintain Sealants: Check sealants in joints and seams regularly to ensure there are no leaks.

– Check Insulation: If the pipe is insulated, make sure it is intact to avoid energy loss.

– Support Systems: Ensure hangers, straps and clamps are secured to prevent pipe sagging or misalignment.

– Remove Obstructions: Remove obstructions that may restrict airflow, such as insulation or foreign objects.

Following these maintenance practices will extend the life of your flexible ducting and ensure optimal performance of your HVAC system.
