Ductwork Services FAQ

Get answers to common questions about ductwork installation, repair, and maintenance.

How much does ductwork installation cost?

Call (910) 469-0396 for a free estimate.

How do I know if my ducts need repair or replacement?

Signs include high energy bills, uneven room temperatures, excessive dust, weak airflow from vents, and visible damage like holes or disconnected sections. Our technicians perform comprehensive inspections to determine whether repair or replacement is the most cost-effective solution. Many duct problems can be repaired without full replacement.

What is duct sealing and why is it important?

Duct sealing involves identifying and sealing air leaks in your ductwork using professional-grade mastic sealant or metal tape. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, up to 30% of conditioned air can be lost through leaky ducts. Proper sealing reduces energy waste, lowers utility bills, improves indoor comfort, and enhances air quality by preventing dust and allergens from entering the system.

How long does ductwork last?

Properly installed and maintained ductwork typically lasts 15-25 years. However, factors like material quality, installation workmanship, maintenance frequency, and environmental conditions affect lifespan. Flexible ductwork may need replacement sooner than rigid metal ducts. Regular inspections can identify issues early and extend your ductwork's life.

Can ductwork issues cause indoor air quality problems?

Yes, leaky or damaged ductwork can significantly impact indoor air quality. Leaks in attic or crawlspace ducts can pull in dust, insulation fibers, mold spores, and other contaminants. Proper duct sealing combined with our indoor air quality services ensures your home's air stays clean and healthy.

Should ductwork be insulated?

Yes, ductwork running through unconditioned spaces (attics, crawlspaces, garages) should be properly insulated. Insulation prevents heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter, improving system efficiency and reducing energy costs. It also helps prevent condensation that can lead to mold growth. We ensure all new and repaired ductwork meets proper insulation standards.

How often should ductwork be inspected?

We recommend professional ductwork inspection every 3-5 years, or sooner if you notice signs of problems like uneven temperatures, high energy bills, or excessive dust. Inspections should also be performed when installing new HVAC equipment or after major home renovations. Regular inspections catch small issues before they become expensive problems.

Does Dependable HVAC offer emergency ductwork repair?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency ductwork repair services in Mount Gilead, Albemarle, Troy, and surrounding areas. If you have a major duct leak, disconnected ductwork, or damage affecting your HVAC system's performance, call (910) 469-0396 immediately. Our licensed technicians (#36703) are available around the clock for urgent repairs.

What's the difference between flexible and rigid ductwork?

Flexible ductwork is made of wire coil covered with plastic and insulation, ideal for tight spaces and short runs. Rigid ductwork (sheet metal or fiberglass) is more durable and efficient for main trunk lines. Each has advantages: flexible ducts are easier to install in difficult areas, while rigid ducts have smoother airflow and longer lifespan. We recommend the best option based on your home's specific needs.

Will new ductwork improve my HVAC efficiency?

Yes, properly designed and installed ductwork can dramatically improve HVAC efficiency. New ductwork eliminates leaks, ensures proper sizing for balanced airflow, and includes proper insulation to minimize energy loss. When combined with a modern air conditioning system or heating system, new ductwork can reduce energy bills by 20-30% while improving comfort throughout your home.
