Air Duct Installation

For new homes and offices and renovations, having the best air quality control possible, and correct duct installation is of paramount importance. Your best bet is to work with qualified professionals who know how to design, plan, and install ducts for the effective long-term functioning of your air conditioning and heating system.

Improperly installed ducts can be a much bigger hassle than you think. If they're too difficult to reach, repairs might entail a significantly higher cost. Likewise, if they don't distribute air the right way, they may severely impact your system's energy efficiency.

Duct Sealing

Forced-air cooling and heating systems create positive pressure in your distribution ducts. That means treated air will escape through every chink, hole, and leak it can find.

A typical home air conditioning and heating system can experience a 30% loss of treated air through these leaks. We go Above and Beyond to inspect your entire duct system systematically and identify any leaks and maximize your air conditioning and heating operating output.

Here are some of the benefits that correctly sealed ducts can provide:

  • Increased comfort through your home.

    • If some rooms or entire areas of your home tend to stay hot or cold despite a working air conditioning and heating system, it's usually a duct problem, and it can often be eliminated with proper seals.

  • Improved safety and air quality.

    • Leaky ducts prevent the adequate circulation of the air from the inside of your home to the outside. Instead, it's back-drafted into the living space. Suitable seals on your ducts eliminate this problem.

  • Save money with improved energy efficiency.

    • Professionally sealing ducts will often pay for itself faster than you think, and you'll have a better heating and cooling system on top of it.

  • Reduce your carbon footprint.

    • The more energy we spend heating and cooling our homes, the more significant our impact on the environment. Properly sealed ducts can directly reduce the amount of energy you spend on your air conditioning and heating needs.

Signs Duct Installation or Sealing Is Needed

  • Variations in room temperatures often indicate problems with the ductwork system. When the HVAC system operates properly, different areas of a building should maintain similar comfort levels. Our technicians regularly observe that spaces far from air handlers might feel too warm or cool compared to other rooms. This temperature inconsistency typically stems from leaks, poor insulation, or improper duct sizing. A professional evaluation can identify these issues and recommend appropriate solutions for balanced comfort throughout the space.

  • Compromised ductwork forces HVAC systems to work harder, consuming more energy than necessary. Monthly utility costs rise as conditioned air escapes through gaps or poor connections in the duct system. Our experience shows that adequately sealed and installed ductwork significantly reduces energy waste. The investment in duct maintenance or replacement often pays for itself through lower operating costs and improved system efficiency over time.

  • Damaged or poorly sealed ducts allow dust, pollen, and other airborne particles to enter the air distribution system. These contaminants circulate throughout the building, settling on surfaces and affecting indoor air quality. Our specialists frequently find that addressing duct system integrity dramatically reduces indoor pollutants. Professional duct sealing or installation creates a clean, sealed pathway for conditioned air while keeping unwanted particles out of living spaces.

  • Weak airflow from vents signals potential duct system problems requiring professional attention. Compromised ducts restrict air movement, reducing system effectiveness and comfort levels. Our technical team identifies airflow restrictions caused by damaged ducts, improper sizing, or installation issues. Correcting these problems restores proper air distribution and improves overall system performance throughout the building.

  • Unusual sounds from ductwork indicate problems requiring immediate attention. Whistling, rattling, or banging noises often stem from loose connections, damaged sections, or improper duct sizing. Our technicians locate the source of these disturbances through comprehensive system inspection. Professional repairs eliminate disruptive noises while improving system efficiency and performance.
