Ductwork, Airflow & Zoning in Elmwood Park

Your furnace or AC is only as good as the ducts that carry the air. Leaky, crushed or undersized ducts waste energy and leave rooms uncomfortable. We find the weak spots and fix them.

Questions

Ductwork, airflow & zoning questions

How much air do leaky ducts waste?

ENERGY STAR says a typical home can lose about 20 percent of the air moving through its ducts to leaks and poor connections.

Can zoning work with my system?

Many forced-air systems can be zoned. Some equipment works better with zoning than others, so we check first.

Should I close vents in unused rooms?

Closing many vents can raise duct pressure and reduce airflow. Ask us about better ways to balance rooms.
