Services We Offer

Your air ducts need to be appropriately maintained to run efficiently — air duct cleaning is one essential aspect of keeping your system healthy. Aire Serv offers air duct repair services when your system needs to be tuned up and air duct replacement when a repair isn't enough. And if you are ready to add a new HVAC system to your home, we can help with that, too.

Air Duct Repair

Air duct repair services are ideal for common problems such as:

  • Poorly sealed registers
  • Improperly supported connections 
  • Dust and debris buildup
  • Natural wear and tear due to aging 

These issues are typically experienced at the joints or connectors between pieces of ductwork.

Our service professionals use diagnostic tools to identify damaged parts, pinpointing irregularities in airflow or leakage. We’ll repair connections, ensuring each joint is meticulously sealed to prevent leaking air and infestations. After, we conduct a comprehensive test to verify the efficiency and safety of airflow from your HVAC system through your ducts.

Air Duct Replacement

Air duct replacement is necessary for ductwork that cannot be repaired. This approach is most common for properties that have experienced a disaster such as a flood or fire. Professionals may also need to replace ductwork for home renovations or when its systems are inadequately sized, such as ductwork being too narrow. Appropriately sized ductwork is much more efficient. Our process includes:

  • Clearing and covering the area with plastic sheeting to prevent dust or dirt
  • Laying out any changes in duct placement and HVAC connections
  • Removing the existing duct system and installing the new one
  • Cleaning the area and testing your ducts and HVAC system

Air Duct Repair FAQ

No. Unless you’re a trained professional, you should not attempt to repair or replace ductwork on your own. Incorrectly replaced or repaired ductwork can result in loose parts, improper insulation, poor air balance, and cause larger issues for your system. Improper air duct replacement can cause your HVAC system to continue working harder than it should, likely costing you more money in the long run.

A trained service professional should replace your air ducts every 10 to 15 years. The lifespan of your air ducts will depend on maintenance frequency, your local climate, and material. Even new duct systems can become susceptible to damage and leaks. It's important to have yearly maintenance performed on your system to keep it operating at peak efficiency.

Signs you may have leaky ductwork include:

  • Home is not heated or cooled evenly
  • Visible tears, kinks, or twists in ductwork
  • Energy bill is higher than normal
  • Obvious sound of air escaping ductwork

Whether or not it’s worth it to replace your ducts versus repair depends on the particular situation. It’s likely worth replacing ductwork if your system has encountered severe damage or is old (over 15 years). Otherwise, service professionals can perform air duct repairs for minor issues as required. A trusted service professional should lay out your options upon inspecting your system.

If you notice a rotten, stale, or musty odor in your home or are experiencing increased health problems and allergy symptoms, you may have mold in your air ducts and should call a trusted professional for an air duct inspection!

An extremely general estimate for installing ductwork is anywhere from one to four days. A trusted service professional will be able to lay out a timeline and cost for your project.

Yes, duct boosters work to improve airflow within your HVAC system. Whether or not they work correctly depends on how well they’re sized and installed.
