Even a good furnace or AC can't overcome ductwork losing air. We test static pressure and leakage directly rather than guessing based on appearance on every visit.
Amherst homeowners often assume duct problems when comfort is off but equipment seems fine, and they're often right — disconnected sections and torn insulation are common in attics and crawl spaces. We inspect the full run, not just the sections near the equipment, since damage tends to hide exactly where it's hardest to see.
What every duct assessment includes.
We measure rather than estimate.
Not just visible sections.
Every joint gets mastic and a proper mechanical fastener, never the cloth tape that peels off in a season or two.
You see proof the fix landed, not just our word for it.
Evidence, not just our word for it.
Six issues that come up on most inspections.
Testing comes before sealing.
Instead of the intended room.
Where the system is working too hard.
Especially in unconditioned spaces.
Wasting air and introducing contamination.
An undersized trunk or poorly routed branch can bottleneck airflow.
What to expect.
Tell us what's off.
A tech shows up with testing equipment ready to go.
Measurement before the quote.
Re-testing before we call it done.
Reviews from completed duct projects.
Landlord dispute over whether pre-existing duct damage caused a tenant's high bills. The photo documentation they provided settled the disagreement fairly for both sides.
— A. Werneke, property manager
Home theater room in the basement never got enough airflow to stay comfortable during movie nights with a full house. Found and fixed a disconnected branch line.
— C. Aldeguer, homeowner
Sourdough baking hobby means a very specific kitchen temperature matters more than most people would guess. The duct sealing evened things out enough to matter.
— T. Osayande, home baker
Insurance claim after a rodent infestation needed documentation of the actual duct damage. They provided exactly what the adjuster needed.
— R. Kowalczyk-Ibe, homeowner
Home art gallery in a converted garage needed even airflow to protect artwork from humidity swings near the exterior wall. Duct rerouting solved a problem two other companies just shrugged at.
— N. Falowo, gallery owner
What people ask before we test their ductwork.
Uneven rooms, high bills, or dust near vents are common signs.
Mastic sealant is what actually holds up for the long haul.
Significant leakage in attic or crawl space runs can waste a meaningful share.
Rodent damage affects performance, not just appearance.
Sealing, insulation work, and resizing all happen in one appointment, not split across separate visits.
Longer for extensive resizing.
Yes, we photograph damage before repair specifically for situations like this.
We will flag anything unusual before starting.
No, duct sealing is separate from equipment warranty coverage and does not affect it.
