Stop wasting money on air that never reaches your rooms. Improve efficiency and comfort with professional duct services.
Your AC and furnace are only as good as the ductwork connected to them. In many High Desert homes, old, leaky, or crushed ducts are responsible for up to 30% of energy loss. This means you are paying to cool your attic, not your living room.
We locate leaks and seal them with professional mastic or tape. We also repair crushed or disconnected runs that restrict airflow.
If your ducts are over 20 years old, the insulation may be crumbling. We design and install brand new, properly sized R-8 duct systems for maximum airflow.
Fix hot and cold spots by installing dampers and properly sizing your registers to ensure every room gets the right amount of air.

We can clean them if they are structurally sound. However, if the inner liner is torn or brittle, replacement is the better option to prevent fiberglass from entering your air.
R-8 is the current California standard for duct insulation value. It resists heat transfer much better than the older R-4 or R-6 ducts found in many AV homes.
