Ductwork Replacement & Repair

Your attic isn’t just another storage space. It’s full of dust, dirt, contaminants, and insulation fibers. 
And all of that gets sucked into your ducts and blown into your living space through a phenomenal called the Venturi Effect. Have you ever been standing on the side of the road and a bus goes by and you get sucked in behind it? That’s the Ventura effect. 
The same thing happens in your home. As air rushes through your ducts, it sucks in contaminates, dust, allergens, even insulation from your attic. These contaminates then circulate through your home, potentially causing or worsening allergens, asthma, or even hay fever. 
Our air distribution process prevents us by properly sealing, sizing, and strapping your ducts.

 

Think of your system like your body’s circulatory system. The HVAC system has the heart and the duct work as the arteries. 
Interestingly enough, nine times out of 10, when someone has a circulatory issue, is it the heart or the arteries? It’s the arteries. The same principle applies to your heating and air conditioning system. 
When problems arise, it’s usually not the heater or the air conditioner. It’s typically an improperly designed duct system. A report by the California Energy Commission states the average home ducts leak 30% of the conditioned error outside the ductwork. In our experience, we’re finding homes that are leaking 40, 50, and even 70% of the conditioned air outside the home, a staggering inefficiency that our meticulous air distribution process directly addresses. Your journey to healthier, indoor error starts with a thorough on site evaluation, a certified air quality specialist then crafts a custom system tailored to your needs.

 

During the installation process, we prioritize your home’s cleanliness by carefully bagging and sealing all of your duct work. 
Our meticulous installation only uses industry approved premium materials, heavy duty tension bands, top grade ceiling tapes, and fiber reinforced mastic to create an airtight connection that improves indoor air quality and energy efficiency. We wrap the ductwork in formaldehyde-free, foiled backed insulation to maintain temperatures. While each duct run is securely supported with durable metal hanging strap to ensure optimized airflow and long term durability. 
Adjustable airflow dampers are installed throughout the system to eliminate hot and cold spots, delivering balanced temperature in every room. The finishing touches make all the difference. Our ceiling materials create an airtight barrier, preventing any attic or crawl space contaminates from entering your living space. 
Finally, we install high velocity metal vents designed to project the air up to 16 feet. Three times farther than the standard stamp based vent. To verify optimal performance, we conduct a comprehensive air balance test. 
Fine tuning the system to deliver perfectly balanced heating and air conditioning to every room in the home. For complete peace of mind, we engage in a third party to performing pressure tests to meet and exceed California standards.
