Ducts serve as the backbone of a property’s HVAC system. When properly designed, ductwork efficiently transports air throughout your home or business. This means when they aren’t running optimally, they can cost you in more ways than one. At Arctic Air Company, our technicians understand the importance of optimal airflow and efficiency. Our team takes pride in restoring your home to its optimal state. Whether for spot repairs or comprehensive replacements, our technicians prioritize restoring your property’s comfort and your energy efficiency.
Signs You Need Ductwork Repair or Replacement
Ductwork is key to controlling your home’s comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency. As a result, it’s important to know when you might need repairs or even replacements. Some of the most common signs to look out for include:
- Noisy HVAC operations
- Unexpectedly high energy bills
- Your home is extremely dusty
- Hard to manage the temperature in specific rooms
- Crushed or damaged ducts
- A musty scent when your HVAC system is on
- Very old ductwork
Damage or suboptimal ductwork can have negative effects on you and your family’s health and should not be ignored.

Our Ductwork Repair Process
Before starting on air duct repairs, your HVAC technician will perform a visual inspection of your home’s ducts, connections, vents, and registers to assess their general condition.
If they see signs of corrosion, damage, or pest activity, they will use cameras to inspect hard-to-reach spots in your duct system. From there, your technician will determine where repairs are necessary and which components require replacement.
To protect your indoor air quality, the technician will do everything possible to minimize exposure. Working on your ducts will disrupt any dust, debris, or pest droppings that might be lying dormant inside the ducts.
Before starting the duct repairs, they will close off the vents and registers and hang plastic sheeting over furnishings for added protection.
The specific duct repair process will vary based on the services you need to address your system’s issues. Either way, your technician will use a combination of the following methods:
- Sealing air leaks
- Patching damaged ducts
- Replacing ductwork (if damage is too severe)
After completing the repairs, your technician will want to make sure you don’t have any remaining issues with poor airflow, so they will conduct a second visual inspection to examine the connections and seals. Afterward, they’ll test the flow and volume of air through the ducts by initiating an HVAC cycle and doing a final cleanup to restore your home to normal.
Benefits of Replacing Old or Damaged Ductwork
If you’re experiencing an air leak or looking to maximize your HVAC system’s energy efficiency, you should consider replacing your current ductwork. Old or damaged ductwork can cause hot and cold spots in different rooms, produce more dust and allergens, and cause your energy bills to skyrocket. If left unaddressed, these problems can lead to even more expensive repairs and even health complications.
Now that you understand the problems with faulty ductwork, we can discuss the advantages of an optimal system. Some of the benefits of upgrading your old ductwork include:
- Boost comfort
- Improve indoor air quality
- Increase safety
- Save you money on energy costs
- Protect the environment
Now that you understand the benefits of optimal ductwork, note that you must leave any new or existing installation to the professionals. Although the price point of a professional ductwork installation can be daunting, a DIY installation can not only leave you with an inefficient system but also cost you more in the long run. Ductwork installation is a complex job best left for technicians you know you can trust.
