Airflow/Ductwork Problems
Weak airflow, hot and cold spots, or noisy ducts? We find and fix ductwork and airflow issues to ensure even comfort throughout your home.
Poor Airflow? The Problem May Be in Your Ducts.
Your ductwork is the delivery system for heated and cooled air throughout your home. When ducts are damaged, disconnected, or poorly designed, you end up with rooms that are too hot, too cold, or barely getting any air at all — even when the HVAC equipment itself is working fine.
We inspect your duct system from supply to return, identify restrictions and leaks, and make targeted repairs that restore balanced comfort and improve energy efficiency.
Common Airflow & Ductwork Problems
Leaky Duct Joints
Gaps at duct connections can lose 20–30% of conditioned air into unconditioned spaces like attics and crawlspaces, driving up energy costs.
Crushed or Kinked Flex Duct
Flexible ductwork that's been compressed, bent too tightly, or sagging restricts airflow to affected rooms. We reroute or replace damaged sections.
Blocked or Closed Vents
Sometimes the fix is simple — a closed damper, blocked register, or furniture covering a vent. We check every supply and return as part of our inspection.
Dirty or Clogged Filters
A clogged air filter is one of the most common causes of reduced airflow. We check filter condition and ensure the correct size and MERV rating is being used.
Undersized Ductwork
If ducts are too small for your system's capacity, you'll get weak airflow no matter how new the equipment is. We evaluate duct sizing against system requirements.
Noisy Ducts
Popping, rattling, or whistling from your ducts can indicate loose connections, sheet metal expansion, or air velocity issues at dampers and registers.
Signs You May Have a Duct Problem
- Some rooms are noticeably warmer or cooler than others.
- Your energy bills have increased without a change in usage.
- You can feel air leaking from duct joints in your attic, basement, or crawlspace.
- Dust buildup around supply registers seems excessive.
- Your HVAC system runs constantly but can't reach the set temperature.
- You hear whistling, rattling, or popping sounds from the walls or ceiling.
