Ductwork
Even airflow starts with the ducts.
Leaky, crushed or undersized ducts waste the air you’ve paid to heat or cool, and leave some rooms uncomfortable. We inspect, seal, repair and redesign ductwork so your system can do its job.

FAQ
Questions about ductwork
Can’t find your question? Call the office and talk to someone who knows heating and cooling.
How do I know if my ducts are leaking?
Uneven rooms, dusty air and high bills are clues. An inspection, sometimes with a pressure test, confirms it.
Can ducts be added to a home without them?
Sometimes, depending on the structure. Ductless heat pumps are often the simpler option for homes without ductwork.
How long does ductwork last?
Well-installed metal ductwork can last for decades; flexible duct usually has a shorter life. Joints and seals tend to fail first.
Is duct sealing worth it?
In many homes it’s one of the most cost-effective comfort improvements, especially where ducts run through attics or crawlspaces.
