We provide air duct repair, sealing, and replacement to optimize performance.

A part of Air Duct Repair is making sure your air ducts are sealed. This is a key step in eliminating energy waste and improving your home’s efficiency.

Your ductwork system is how your home moves hot and cold air throughout the house. Supply ducts bring the conditioned (heated or cooled) air to rooms, while return ducts bring air back to the furnace or air conditioner.

Unfortunately, many homeowners have leaky, inefficient ducts, which force your HVAC system to work longer and harder to get your home to the right temperature. Not only does this waste money and energy, it will make your home uncomfortable.

Common air duct work efficiency problems

Homeowners who have uncomfortable homes typically complain of the same issues — rooms that take too long to heat or cool, rooms that stay at different temperatures from the rest of the home, and homes that are too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. In many cases, these issues can be attributed to one of these ductwork problems:

• Duct leakage: Duct leakage causes conditioned air to escape before it reaches certain rooms, meaning your heating or cooling system will need to run longer to get rooms to the desired temperature.
• Under-insulated ducts: Missing or inadequate ductwork insulation or older ductwork works against the HVAC system during heating and cooling seasons, forcing the HVAC system to heat or cool the ductwork before proper temperature air can reach a room. HVAC costs escalate, and some rooms stay too hot or too cold even when the HVAC system is operating. Older ductwork has a loss of 30% cooling efficiency so for every $3 spent on AC cooling $1 goes to cooling your attic.
• Unbalanced airflow: Unbalanced air flow due to register location causes some rooms to get too much heat or cooling, while other parts of the house get too little.

We can properly seal your duct system to prevent costly leaks into the attic space.

Air Duct Replacement

Modification of your current duct system to better distribute airflow to rooms that do not have properly cooling.

With an older or deteriorated duct system, a newly designed high-efficiency duct system will provide you with comfort, even temperatures, and a reduction of cooling loss of 50% or more from your current duct system.

Determining the cost of ductwork installation is based on several factors. These include the size/square footage of the home, where the ductwork will be located for a new installation, and the number of vents needed. In general, a basic minimum cost for installation can run anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000.

Having new or replacement ducts and vents is a big project and can be a big investment so it’s to your benefit to have it done right from the start. Not only will a new or updated duct system benefit your home’s value, but a new system can also save you money on your energy bills. With proper care and maintenance of professionally installed ducts, the efficiency of your home’s heating and cooling system increases significantly.
