Duct Design & Sealing

Your ducts are the delivery system. If they leak, are undersized, or are poorly routed, even a brand-new system will struggle. We test, seal, and redesign so the air ends up where you live.

Signs of duct problems

If any of these sound familiar…

Hot or cold rooms

One bedroom never matches the thermostat.

Whistling vents

Noise usually means undersized ducts or high static pressure.

Dust & attic smells

Leaky return ducts pull in attic air and insulation dust.

Rising bills

The system runs longer to make up for lost air.

Option A

Test & seal

Pressure-test the duct system, seal joints, boots, and plenums with mastic, then re-test to show the improvement.

Option B

Modify & balance

Add returns, resize branches, and balance airflow room by room to match the load calculation.

Option C

Full redesign

A new duct system designed with ACCA Manual D — typically paired with a system replacement.

Duct FAQ

Is duct cleaning the same thing?

No. Cleaning removes debris; sealing and design fix leakage and airflow. We'll tell you honestly if cleaning would help — often sealing matters more.

How do I know the sealing worked?

We test before and after with a calibrated duct-leakage tester and give you both numbers in your report.

Will you need to cut into walls or ceilings?

Most work is done from the attic. If a new return or register requires a ceiling cut, we'll show you exactly where before we start.

Fix the room that never feels right.
