Air ducts are the unseen air high-way system that moves your hot and cold air throughout your home. Over time, like the roads, they can wear down, become less efficient, and even fail completely. If you’re noticing hot and cold spots throughout your home, weak airflow from certain vents, noisy rattling in your walls, and/or increasing energy bills – you may need an air duct repair.
Signs of Air Duct Problems
If some parts of your home are noticeably hotter or colder than others you may need to investigate your air ducts for problems. If you’ve experienced this since first moving into your house, one common problem is undersized return and supply vents. You may also have some unseen damage to your air ducts. Don’t just keep cranking up your HVAC system to compensate – that just leads to higher energy bills and shortens the life of your HVAC system.
If you put your hand up to the supply vents and don’t feel air coming out or it’s weak, you may need an air duct repair. Put a piece of paper on it and see if it moves. If it doesn’t, check to see if the register is shut. If it isn’t, there’s an issue with the air ducts. In some cases, a simple adjustment of your HVAC system’s blower fan speed can increase or decrease total airflow as needed.
Do you hear loud rattling or whistling noises in the walls or attic? Don’t worry, it’s probably not a ghost. It’s most likely loose, disconnected, or damaged air ducts. If your air duct has just come loose and needs to be reconnected and secured the repair is fast and affordable.
Leaky air ducts means your home is not cooling off or heating up as fast as it should. This results in your system to work longer and hard than necessary, increasing your utility costs, and adding unnecessary stress to your HVAC system and reducing its normal life expectancy.

First you have to identify the source of the problem. This is not a DIY kind of project. Often finding the damaged air duct involves walking through tight spaces like attics and crawl spaces. If you do find it, you’ll need the proper tools, parts, and know-how for a good repair. In some cases, an air duct cleaning can fix a clogged air duct. The best way to get your air duct problem fixed is by calling a professional HVAC company. They’ll save you time, money, and headaches.
