While giving thanks this weekend, I am thankful that no one got hurt with any of these electrical issues!

 Let's talk about the 80s... There were some great things that came out of the 80s... Some fun music, I met my lovely bride, I bought my first car... There was also some garbage that came out in the 80s... Some horrible music, some terrible cars, and some defective building products.... I have posted before about one of those defective products, Polybutlyne piping. Today I want to talk about another one. Goodman Quietflex ducting.  We affectionately call it Grey Flex. Although I have run across Black Quietflex that has failed as well. The extreme heat in the attic causes the outer plastic to disintegrate. The interior fiberglass is now unsupported and starts to peel away. All that is left is an inner plastic tube. Even if this plastic is intact, your system is now extremely inefficient. When you add in the fact that this cold tube inside a very of attic is a perfect situation for condensation, that leads to mold/mildew growth, you end up with a situation that must be rectified immediately. The next questions are always; Can it be repaired?
In short.... No, it cannot be repaired. It must be replaced. I have seen many repair attempts,but they are only a temporary repair... and How much will this cost? I have seen price quotes that run from $200-300 per drop... Of course, depending on accessibility, the price can be even higher... When you figure that there is at least one drop per room, the cost starts to add up very quickly. |
