San Jose Air Duct Replacement, Installation + Repair

Do Your Air Ducts Need Work?

You can prevent far more significant (and costly!) repairs down the line if you identify air duct issues early. For instance, if you notice uneven temperatures from room to room, you might have air duct damage or buildup to address. There may be leaks of clogged areas. Higher energy bills (despite consistent usage) are a red flag, as are air quality issues:

• Dustiness
• Musty odors
• More allergy symptoms

You will also want to call us if you notice rattling or whistling sounds. Loose connections or obstructions in your ductwork can cause unwanted noise, and while the fix is relatively simple, you will deal with uncomfortable temperatures and higher energy bills until you get it fixed.

When It’s Time to Replace Your Air Ducts

As air ducts age, they accumulate more leaks, rust, and other causes of inefficiency. If your ducts are over 15 years old, it’s probably a good idea to replace them if you notice problems or bad odors. We’ll also need to inspect your ductwork to see if it was installed properly the first time. Perhaps it was installed incorrectly when your home was built or your central heating and air conditioning was installed – if so, no amount of repairs will resolve the persistent issues. We may need to replace the system to fix the root cause.

Are you renovating your home or upgrading your HVAC system? That’s another good time to replace your ducts. It may only be marginally more expensive to replace all of your ductwork if you are getting a new heat pump, air conditioning system, or replacing drywall already.

It Starts With Careful Inspection and Planning

We mentioned above that poor air duct installation can lead to persistent issues for many years. You will never have that experience with EM Energy & Air.

We begin every installation project with a detailed inspection of your home. We consider the size of your home, the layout, and the type of HVAC system you have or plan to install, and more. We do not start buying materials or running ducts until we know exactly where they will go. Because of this initial attention to detail, we can give you an accurate estimate while we are at your home for the inspection.

Types of Air Ducts We Work With

Different homes require different types of ductwork. We have many years of experience with different types of ducts, and we are always happy to make recommendations within your budget.

Flexible ducts are made of plastic over a metal wire coil. These aren’t very common, but they are ideal for homes that have unusual layouts or tight spaces. We always work carefully with flexible ducts – the last thing we want to do is cause kinks and restrict the airflow.

Sheet metal ducts are far more common. They are made from galvanized steel or aluminum, and they will last for many years and avoid mold and mildew. Fiberglass-lined ducts help dampen noise and control condensation. These are generally used by our commercial clients who need to keep multiple building tenants happy by reducing noise.

From duct boards to common sheet metal ducts, we are happy to help. Get in touch for more information.
