The ductwork in your home is responsible for distributing conditioned air to every room and when it's leaking, disconnected, or improperly designed, your HVAC system pays the price in the form of wasted energy, inconsistent temperatures, and reduced equipment life. Studies from the US Department of Energy indicate that duct leakage accounts for 20–30% of energy loss in a typical forced-air system. HVAC Pros. provides duct repair services in Tilleda, WI including sealing leaks with mastic sealant (the industry-preferred material for long-lasting, code-compliant repairs), reconnecting separated flexible duct joints at air handler connections or duct branches, repairing damaged sheet metal plenums, insulating ductwork in unconditioned spaces like attics and crawlspaces, and addressing duct collapse in flexible duct runs that have sagged over time.
Diagnosing duct problems requires more than a visual inspection many leaks occur at connections buried in insulation or behind finished walls. HVAC Pros. uses duct pressurization testing (duct blaster) to quantify total duct leakage before and after repairs, giving you measurable proof that the work made a difference. We can also use thermal imaging to identify supply leaks in attic ductwork that are heating or cooling unconditioned space. In Tilleda, WI homes with ductwork in unconditioned attics or crawlspaces, properly sealed and insulated ducts can reduce HVAC energy consumption significantly often enough to recover the repair cost within a single heating or cooling season. HVAC Pros. provides a written leakage report after every duct repair project so you have documentation of the improvement.
