Ductwork Repair & Installation

Common signs

• Rooms that are much hotter or colder than others
• Weak airflow from some vents
• Disconnected, crushed or torn ducts in the attic, crawlspace or basement
• Whistling or rattling in the ductwork
• Adding central air or a heat pump to a home without ducts

What the technician typically checks

A technician typically inspects accessible ducts for leaks and disconnections, checks sealing and insulation in unconditioned spaces, measures airflow, and reviews duct sizing for the equipment.

Before you call

Make sure vents and returns are open and unblocked, change the filter, and note which rooms are uncomfortable.
