Testing a ventilation system for any air leaks

I knew that heating, ventilation plus A/C professionals are only called when the unit shows signs of breakdown for the longest time…

However, this mindset changed when our overly conscious sibling came to live with myself and others for a few months! Then she was particularly observant the first few days plus kept most things to herself until she just couldn’t take it anymore.

The air was uncomfortable for her, especially when I went to my job and left her to relax plus do whatever she wanted. She told me and others that it was almost impossible to stay indoors when the sunlight was tepid since the AC seemed not to be working… However, I rushed to inspect it, and to our surprise, everything seemed okay, so I did not understand why our sibling was complaining. I took the next day to see for myself, plus as she claimed, our unit seemed to be struggling to cool the space. There was particularly little cool air getting into the house. I checked the outdoor unit, plus it was not obstructed. I remember instructing someone to clear the bushes plus debris around it a few weeks back, so it was perfect; however next, I checked the filters, plus they were pretty straightforward since I had swapped them 2 weeks ago, and my sibling proposed checking the air ducts, which I must confess that I had not paid much attention to. She did the leak test plus told myself and others that there was a significant air leak in our HVAC duct… Her suggestion was to call a nearby heating, ventilation plus A/C expert to inspect plus request the best fix for it… Then when the heating, ventilation plus A/C specialist came over, he advocated cleaning professional HVAC duct as the HVAC duct was obstructed plus heavily cracked. It required thorough cleaning before any of it could be repaired.
