What's Included in Ductwork Services
Ductwork Repair
Repair of disconnected, damaged, or deteriorated ductwork. We reconnect separated joints, patch holes, replace crushed flex duct, and repair damaged sheet metal duct sections.
Duct Sealing
Professional sealing of duct joints and connections using mastic sealant and metal tape. Proper sealing can recover 25% to 30% of lost heating and cooling energy.
Ductwork Installation
Design and installation of new duct systems for additions, renovations, or new construction. We size ducts correctly for proper airflow and system performance.
Ductwork Replacement
Complete replacement of old, deteriorated, or improperly installed ductwork. Older homes often have ductwork that is undersized, poorly insulated, or falling apart.
Duct Insulation
Adding or replacing insulation on ductwork in unconditioned spaces like attics, crawl spaces, and garages. Uninsulated ducts lose significant energy to heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter.
Our Ductwork Services Process
Ductwork Assessment
We inspect your existing ductwork for leaks, disconnections, damage, improper sizing, and inadequate insulation. We use visual inspection and airflow testing to identify problem areas.
Problem Identification
We map out the issues and explain how they affect your comfort and energy bills. Leaky ducts, crushed flex duct, and undersized runs are common problems in Northern Virginia homes.
Solution Design
We design a solution tailored to your home, whether it is sealing existing ducts, replacing damaged sections, or designing a completely new duct system for a renovation or addition.
Professional Installation or Repair
We complete the ductwork using quality materials and proper installation techniques. We seal every joint, insulate properly, and support every run to prevent sagging.
Airflow Verification
After completing the work, we test airflow at every register to verify that each room is receiving the proper amount of conditioned air. We adjust dampers as needed to balance the system.

Ductwork Services in Sterling: FAQs
Should I replace ductwork in my 1960s Sterling Park home?
In most cases, yes, especially if you are replacing the HVAC system. Sixty-year-old ductwork leaks significantly and cannot deliver the performance that new equipment is capable of.
Can you seal ductwork without replacing it?
If the duct material is structurally sound but leaky at joints, sealing with mastic or aerosol sealant can improve performance significantly. We inspect and recommend the most cost-effective approach.
How do I know if my Sterling ductwork needs attention?
Signs include uneven temperatures between rooms, excessive dust, high energy bills, and visible duct damage in accessible areas like basements or crawlspaces. We offer ductwork inspections.
How do I know if my ductwork is leaking?
Signs of leaky ductwork include rooms that are hard to heat or cool, higher than expected energy bills, excessive dust in the home, uneven temperatures between rooms, and musty odors from the vents. If you notice any of these, a ductwork inspection can identify the problem.
How much does duct sealing cost in Sterling?
Duct sealing in Sterling typically costs between $500 and $2,000, depending on the size of your home and the extent of the leaks. This is one of the best returns on investment in home energy improvement.
Can ductwork be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
In many cases, ductwork can be repaired and sealed to restore performance. However, if the ductwork is severely damaged, improperly sized, or made from deteriorated materials, replacement is the better long-term solution. We will assess your system and give you an honest recommendation.
