If your home has uneven temperatures, poor airflow, excessive dust, musty odors, or unusually high energy bills, your ductwork may be leaking or deteriorating. Small issues like loose connections or minor leaks can often be fixed with professional ductwork repair. However, if your ducts are over 15 years old, severely damaged, or made from outdated materials, a full ductwork replacement is usually the best solution for efficiency and comfort.
Most air ducts last between 15–20 years, but efficiency and air quality can start to decline after 10 years, especially if the ducts weren’t properly sealed or insulated when installed. Over time, ducts can sag, separate, or develop leaks that waste conditioned air. In Greenville’s humid climate, moisture can also accelerate duct deterioration.
Absolutely. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 20–30% of conditioned air is lost through leaky ducts. That means a significant portion of the heated or cooled air your HVAC system produces never reaches your living spaces. This forces your HVAC system to run longer and harder, increasing wear and tear and raising your utility bills. Professional duct sealing and repair can dramatically reduce energy waste, lower monthly costs, and improve comfort throughout your home.
Every home is different, and sometimes pre-fabricated ductwork doesn’t fit properly. Custom sheet metal duct fabrication ensures that your duct system is designed specifically for your home’s layout. This means fewer leaks, better airflow, and more even temperatures throughout your living space. Custom ducts are also more durable than flexible ducts and can be designed to accommodate unique architectural features.
