Professional Duct Repair and Replacement
Most homes need a duct camera inspection at least every other year. You can schedule that service alongside routine maintenance in either the fall or spring. During that service, your technician will use a high-definition camera to scrutinize your ducts inside and out.
One of the most common problems is dust accumulating in the ducts, which is inevitable over time. Even after a couple of years, it can impact air quality. Over longer periods, it can result in obstructions that affect airflow. Professional duct cleaning is the process through which we vacuum all that debris out of your ductwork.
Another common problem is air leakage. Leaking ducts can cause you to lose between 20% and 40% of your heating and cooling. That’s a significant amount that affects your indoor comfort, carbon footprint, and wallet. Duct sealing is an effective technique through which we restore the seals between duct sections to stop leaking. There are other duct repair options as well, including replacing mounting hardware and damaged panels.
If you have older ducts, duct replacement may be the better path forward. The 25-year mark is generally the upper limit for duct performance and efficiency. Another consideration is that duct science has evolved considerably over the years. Using modern knowledge and techniques, our team can design an even more efficient duct network. You may also want to consider upgrading to zone control, which can lower annual heating and cooling costs by up to 30%.
Monitor for these signs that you may need your ductwork inspected.
- Weak airflow
- Rising energy costs
- Poor indoor air quality
- Rumbling when air is on
- Mustiness and other unpleasant odors
