Ductwork
Air ducts are the backbone of any heating and cooling system, ensuring efficient airflow and consistent comfort throughout your home or business. Properly designed and installed ductwork allows your air conditioning system to distribute cool air evenly, reducing energy waste and enhancing indoor air quality. Whether you’re installing a brand-new system or upgrading existing air ducts, high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship are essential for long-term performance.
Over time, ductwork can develop leaks, blockages, or poor insulation, leading to decreased efficiency and higher energy costs. If you’ve noticed uneven cooling, higher utility bills, or excessive dust in your space, your ductwork system may need maintenance or repairs. Our technicians specialize in sealing leaks and optimizing airflow to restore peak efficiency and comfort. We use advanced diagnostic tools to identify hidden issues and ensure your system is running at its best.
We provide custom ductwork solutions tailored to your specific space and HVAC system. Our goal is to maximize your air conditioning system’s performance while improving air quality and energy efficiency. Contact us today for a consultation and experience the difference of professional ductwork services.
Expert HVAC Ductwork
Ductwork Sealing
Leaks in the ductwork cause the average forced-air system to lose up to 30% of its overall output. That means you’re paying for about one-third of the entire output that is being completely wasted. We have equipment to find leaks and cracks and seal them, making your system more efficient and saving you money.
Ductwork Repair
Small damage or flaws in your ductwork can waste a lot of energy and result in higher electric bills. We will diagnose where the damage is, if there are any constrictions in the air flow, and check for leaks in the system. Repairs will make your system more efficient and put money back in your pocket
Ductwork Replacement
There are times when air duct damage is bad enough that sealing or repair isn’t sufficient. You may have had flooding from hurricanes or animal damage. Old age can also be a contributing factor. When your ductwork needs to be replaced, call us for a free quote.
Ductwork Installation
Proper air duct installation is crucial for an efficient and reliable HVAC system. Well-designed and correctly installed ducts ensure even airflow and energy efficiency. Whether for new construction or to replace worn out ducts, professional ductwork installation lowers energy costs.
Reasons Your Ductwork May Need to be Repaired or Replaced
There are several common reasons why AC ductwork may develop leaks or require repairs.
Age and Deterioration
Ductwork typically lasts 15–25 years, but over time, it can deteriorate due to constant temperature changes, humidity (which is high in Florida), and general aging. Older ducts may develop cracks, gaps, or weakened seals, allowing air to escape and reducing system efficiency.
Excess Moisture, Dust, and Mold
Condensation can build up in ductwork due to poor insulation or high humidity levels, leading to mold growth and potential corrosion. Over time, this weakens the duct material and may cause leaks. Leaky or old ducts can pull in dust, mold spores, or musty smells, leading to poor indoor air quality and allergy issues
Poor Installation
Improperly installed ductwork, including loose connections, inadequate sealing, or incorrect sizing, can lead to air leaks and uneven airflow. Poor design can also put extra strain on the system, causing early failure.
Punctures or Physical Damage
Ducts located in attics, crawl spaces, or basements can be accidentally damaged by construction work, rodents or raccoons, or even routine home maintenance. Holes or dents can restrict airflow and reduce efficiency.
High Energy Bills
If your cooling costs are rising but your AC is still functioning well, the ductwork may be losing conditioned air through leaks or insulation failure.
Poor Airflow & Uneven Cooling
If some rooms are too hot while others are too cold, the ducts may be improperly sized, collapsed, or clogged with debris.
