Professional Ductwork Repair Services in Huntsville

Your home’s central air ductwork system is designed to be hidden from sight. While this is great for your home’s aesthetics and safety, detecting air leaks from damaged or worn-out ducts is difficult. 

If you see an unexpected spike in your energy bill and your HVAC equipment isn’t to blame, it is very likely that your air ducts are the problem. Inefficiencies in the duct system can cause your heating and cooling system to fail prematurely. Even minor ductwork issues can have a huge impact on the performance of your HVAC system and the cost of running it on a daily basis.

If you’re looking for duct testing or duct repair in Huntsville, Blake Brothers is here to help!

Our HVAC experts use cutting-edge diagnostic equipment to quickly figure out what’s wrong with your ductwork and then carry out successful repairs to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Why is Duct Testing Important?

You can lose up to 30 percent of the air in your ventilation system due to duct leaks, which is a tremendous amount of waste. To prevent this from happening, arrange for regular duct testing services with Blake Brothers.

As a rule of thumb, you should get your home’s air ducts tested every one to two years. Air ducts deteriorate over time, and if they were poorly installed to begin with, the effects of wear and tear tend to show much more quickly.

Regular duct testing and inspections allow you to spot issues at an early stage when they are less expensive to fix. Every day that air leaks through your ducts costs you money, so don’t put off calling for professional duct testing and repair.

What Does the Duct Testing Process Look Like?

The HVAC team at Blake Brothers is equipped with the latest diagnostic tools, including power vacuums and specialized gauges, to ensure the accuracy of our duct testing service.

We start the duct testing process by sealing your registers and closing off your vents. Next, we use the power vacuum to increase the pressure within the ductwork and then check to see how well your ducts can hold the increased pressure. A rapid decrease in pressure indicates that your ventilation system has plenty of leaks.

The test results will give us valuable insight into the system’s integrity and what needs to be done to improve it. We will then recommend air duct repair or replacement if necessary.
