Duct Repairs That Actually Improve Airflow

In homes with a single central return, adding a second return path is consistently the highest-impact change we make.

It lowers static pressure, quiets the system and evens out temperatures between floors.

A single crushed flex run can cut a room's airflow by more than half. Replacing that eight-foot section changes that room completely.

These are usually found above closets, behind attic storage, or where a contractor worked after the HVAC install.

The joints closest to the air handler are under the highest pressure, so leaks there cost the most.

Sealing them recovers air that never made it into the trunk in the first place.

• Second return added on the upper floor
• Crushed branch runs replaced
• Supply and return plenum joints sealed
• Sharp elbows swapped for long-radius fittings
• Dampers reset and balanced

Register airflow and static pressure readings before and after tell you whether the money did anything.

We provide both, so the improvement is documented rather than assumed.
