FAQs
What exactly is included in a precision duct inspection?
Our technicians use video-camera scopes, pressure gauges, and thermal imaging to examine every accessible section of your duct system. We look for leaks, loose connections, crushed or disconnected runs, microbial growth, excessive dust, and insulation gaps. We also measure airflow, static pressure, and temperature differentials to verify that your heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment is delivering the correct volume of conditioned air to each room.
How often should I have my ductwork inspected in Huntland?
For most homes and light-commercial buildings we recommend a full precision duct inspection every 3–5 years. However, you may need more frequent checks if you have pets that shed heavily, recent construction or remodeling, allergy or asthma sufferers in the household, or a history of high humidity that can promote mold growth inside the ducts.
What are the warning signs that my ducts need professional attention?
Rising utility bills, rooms that are consistently hotter or colder than others, musty or dusty smells when the HVAC system runs, visible dust streaks near supply registers, and rattling or whistling noises in the walls are all indicators that leaks, blockages, or improper sizing may be present. Any of these signs warrants a duct inspection before larger HVAC problems develop.
How do well-sealed, clean ducts improve indoor air quality and system efficiency?
Tight, insulated ducts prevent unfiltered attic or crawl-space air from being sucked into the supply stream, reducing allergens, pollutants, and humidity in your living spaces. Eliminating leaks can boost the efficiency of your furnace or air conditioner by 20–30 %, shortening run times and extending equipment life. Balanced airflow also reduces dust accumulation on coils and blower motors, cutting down on maintenance costs.
Will the inspection damage my walls or disrupt my daily routine?
In nearly every case we access the ductwork through existing registers, plenums, and equipment panels, so no cutting into finished walls is required. A typical Huntland residence takes 1–2 hours to inspect, and you can stay in the home the entire time. If we discover issues that need repair or duct cleaning, we will explain the options and schedule those services at your convenience.
What does a precision duct inspection cost and what affects the price?
For most single-family homes in the Huntland area, the inspection ranges from $150 to $275. Pricing depends on the size of the HVAC system, number of supply and return runs, and whether the ducts are located in easily accessible areas or tight crawl spaces.
