Several signs indicate your Sacramento home needs duct replacement: rooms that won't reach set temperatures, energy bills that keep rising despite normal usage, weak airflow from certain vents, excessive dust accumulation around registers, musty odors when your system runs, or visible damage to accessible ductwork. If your ducts are over 15 years old, replacement often makes more financial sense than repeated repairs. We provide thorough ductwork assessments including blower door testing to measure actual air leakage. Our honest evaluation helps you understand whether repair or replacement provides better long-term value for your specific situation.

Duct repair addresses specific isolated problems like small leaks, loose connections, or damaged sections. It's cost-effective when ductwork is relatively new and issues are limited. Duct replacement involves installing an entirely new distribution system, which is better for older systems with multiple problems, poor original installation, or undersized ducts. In Sacramento County, ducts over 15-20 years old typically have multiple issues that make replacement more economical than extensive repairs. We assess your complete system and recommend the most cost-effective solution based on the extent of problems, your home's age, and your long-term comfort goals.

Most Sacramento duct replacement projects take 1-2 days for average-sized homes, depending on system complexity and accessibility.
