Ductwork Services We Provide

From inspection to full replacement, we handle every aspect of residential ductwork in the Las Vegas valley.

Duct Inspection & Testing

We perform comprehensive duct inspections using pressure testing and visual assessment to identify leaks, disconnections, and airflow restrictions. Our technicians check every accessible section of your duct system and provide a detailed report with photos and recommendations.

Cost: $99–$199 (waived with repair or replacement service)

Duct Sealing

Leaky duct joints and connections are the most common problem in Las Vegas homes, especially in attic-routed systems where heat exposure degrades seals over time. We use professional-grade mastic sealant and metal tape to permanently seal all leaks and improve airflow efficiency.

Cost: $300–$800 depending on system size and number of leaks

Duct Repair

Crushed, disconnected, or damaged duct sections reduce airflow and force your AC to work harder. We repair or replace individual sections, reconnect disconnected runs, and reinforce weak points. Common in Las Vegas attics where extreme heat warps flexible ductwork.

Cost: $200–$1,500 depending on scope of damage

Full Duct Replacement

If your ductwork is over 15 years old, severely damaged, or improperly sized for your home, full replacement is the best investment. We design and install new duct systems using properly sized rigid and flex duct, ensuring optimal airflow to every room.

Cost: $3,000–$7,000 depending on home size and complexity

Signs Your Ductwork Needs Attention

Many homeowners don't realize their ductwork is the source of comfort and efficiency problems. Watch for these warning signs.

Uneven cooling between rooms

Some rooms stay comfortable while others are 5–10 degrees warmer. This typically indicates leaks, disconnections, or undersized ducts serving certain areas.

Excessive dust in the home

Leaky ducts in the attic pull in insulation particles, dust, and debris, distributing them through your vents. Las Vegas desert dust makes this problem even worse.

High energy bills despite new AC

If you replaced your AC but bills didn't drop, your ductwork may be losing 20–30% of conditioned air before it reaches your living spaces.

Weak airflow from vents

Reduced airflow at registers while the blower is running strongly suggests restrictions, kinks in flex duct, or collapsed sections — common in Las Vegas attics.

Rattling or whistling noises

Strange noises from your duct system indicate loose connections, damaged sections, or air escaping through gaps. These problems worsen over time.

Musty or stale odors from vents

Odors coming from your vents can indicate mold growth, pest intrusion, or accumulated debris in your duct system. This is a health concern that needs prompt attention.

Why Las Vegas Homes Have Unique Ductwork Challenges

The desert climate creates specific problems for residential ductwork that homeowners in other regions don't face.

Extreme Attic Heat

Las Vegas attics regularly reach 150–160 degrees in summer. This extreme heat degrades duct insulation, weakens joint seals, and can warp flexible ductwork. Cool air passing through attic ducts can lose 10–15 degrees before reaching your rooms.

Desert Dust & Debris

Las Vegas dust and fine sand particles infiltrate duct systems through leaks and gaps. This accumulation restricts airflow, reduces air quality, and provides a breeding ground for allergens — especially during wind events and construction seasons.

Builder-Grade Quality

Many Las Vegas homes built during the 2000s housing boom used the cheapest ductwork available. Undersized ducts, excessive flex runs, and poor insulation are common in tract homes throughout Henderson, Summerlin, and North Las Vegas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my ducts are leaking?

The most common signs are uneven cooling between rooms, higher-than-expected energy bills, and excessive dust. You can also hold your hand near duct joints in accessible areas (attic or crawl space) and feel for escaping air. For a definitive answer, our technicians perform a pressure test that measures exactly how much air your duct system is losing. We often find 20–40% duct leakage in Las Vegas homes over 10 years old.

Should I seal or replace my ductwork?

Sealing is the right choice when your ductwork is properly sized and in good structural condition but has leaking joints and connections. Replacement is better when ducts are undersized, severely damaged, poorly insulated, or over 15–20 years old. During our inspection, we'll recommend the most cost-effective option for your situation.

Should I upgrade my ductwork when I replace my AC?

This is the ideal time to address ductwork issues. A new high-efficiency AC system can't perform to its potential with leaky or undersized ducts. At minimum, we recommend a duct inspection and sealing during any AC replacement. If your ducts are over 15 years old or your home has comfort issues, upgrading both simultaneously provides the best results and value.

How long does ductwork last in Las Vegas?

Flexible ductwork in Las Vegas typically lasts 10–15 years before the insulation and vapor barrier degrade significantly due to attic heat exposure. Rigid metal ductwork lasts 20–25 years but joints and seals still need attention. If your home was built before 2010, we strongly recommend having your ductwork inspected.
