Why Your Ductwork Deserves Attention

Your ductwork might be out of sight, but it should never be out of mind. Did you know that in the average home, nearly 20% to 30% of the air moving through your ducts is lost due to leaks, gaps, or poor connections? That means your HVAC system works harder, your utility bills climb higher, and your indoor air quality suffers.

When your ducts are properly sealed, insulated, and maintained, you’ll enjoy:

Unfortunately, ductwork problems often go unnoticed for years — until you feel the pinch on your wallet or comfort. That’s why Iron Shield Heating and Air offers thorough duct inspections using advanced tools to detect hidden leaks and weak spots other companies might overlook.

Our Trusted Ductwork Repair Services

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that damaged or leaking ducts can waste up to 30% of your heating and cooling energy. Small cracks, loose connections, or poorly sealed joints might not be visible — but they add up fast.

At Iron Shield Heating and Air, we don’t just patch problems — we restore your ductwork to like-new condition so you can breathe cleaner air and enjoy reliable comfort in every room.

Here’s what our professional duct repair service includes:

Comprehensive Duct Inspection & Leak Detection

Comprehensive Duct Inspection & Leak Detection

Our licensed technicians start with a detailed inspection of your entire duct system. Using advanced diagnostic tools — like smoke pencils and thermal cameras — we pinpoint hidden air leaks, disconnected sections, crushed ducts, or poor seals that may be costing you money every month.

High-Quality Air Sealing & Repairs

High-Quality Air Sealing & Repairs

We seal leaks and gaps using durable, industry-approved materials like mastic sealant and reinforced foil tape — no cheap shortcuts that peel off in a few months. For sections that are damaged or collapsed, we rebuild or replace them to restore full airflow and prevent future problems.

Airflow Balancing & System Testing

Airflow Balancing & System Testing

Proper duct repairs don’t stop at sealing — we balance your airflow to ensure every room gets the right amount of heated or cooled air. We measure static pressure and check vents, registers, and dampers so your system runs efficiently and evenly.

Duct Insulation & Indoor Air Quality Improvements

Duct Insulation & Indoor Air Quality Improvements

In addition to repairs, we can upgrade your duct insulation to reduce heat loss and prevent condensation. If your ducts have collected dust, debris, or allergens, we’ll recommend safe cleaning or filter upgrades to improve your home’s indoor air quality and help your family breathe easier.

Is It Time to Replace Your Old Ductwork?

While many ductwork issues can be repaired, some systems are too old, damaged, or inefficient to justify constant fixes. In these cases, replacing your ductwork can be the smartest investment — helping you save money, improve comfort, and protect your HVAC system for years to come.

Your Ducts Are 15–20+ Years Old

Most duct systems weren’t built to last forever. Over time, metal ducts can rust, joints weaken, and flexible ductwork can tear or sag. If your ducts are nearing 20 years old, upgrading to modern, properly sealed and insulated ductwork can drastically improve your comfort and lower energy costs.

Major Damage or Mold Problems

If your ducts have extensive holes, collapsed sections, or mold growth that keeps returning, spot repairs won’t solve the root issue. Mold in ducts can spread harmful spores throughout your home, creating health risks — full replacement with properly sealed, insulated ducts is the best fix.

Uneven Temperatures & Constant HVAC Cycling

Do you have rooms that are always too hot or too cold, no matter how you adjust your thermostat? This often means your ducts are poorly designed or too small for your system. A complete redesign and replacement ensures balanced airflow and consistent comfort in every room.

Frequent Repairs & Skyrocketing Bills

If you’re constantly sealing leaks or paying for repeated duct repairs but your utility bills keep rising, it’s a sign that patching won’t cut it. New ductwork eliminates energy waste, helps your HVAC system run more efficiently, and cuts down on costly service calls year after year.

Why Replacing Your Ductwork Is a Smart Investment

Old, leaking, or poorly designed ductwork can silently drain your comfort and wallet for years. At Iron Shield Heating and Air, we believe replacing outdated ducts is more than a repair — it’s a smart investment that delivers lasting comfort, healthier air, and real energy savings.

Here’s what you gain when you replace your ductwork with our expert team:

My blower motor went out last summer during the work week. I didn't have time to shop around and ended up paying $980 for a replacement. That wouldnt he so bad, except when it was installed i said there was barely any air flow coming from the vents. The motor installed is clearly the cheapest one they could find and isnt really buying me time for a total unit replacement since my electric bill is way higher than it should be. For that price i expected a variable speed, but got a really crappy single speed that barely puts out air. After the install was done he said my condenser coil was dirty. I've never had service that didn't include coil cleaning and to say that like he didn't just have the unit open and could have taken care of it blew my mind. Today the fan motor started making noise so i went to check it out. That's when i noticed all the missing screws. I had the unit taken apart for the blower motor install and all screws were together so they could be replaced but today i found several discarded screws around the unit. Next time i need service I'll just take the time off work, buy the parts, and do it myself. Had the coil been cleaned and all screws replaced I wouldn't even be writing this review, I was going to let it go. But this is ridiculous. I definitely wont be calling this company when I'm ready to replace the unit. Which will be quicker than anticipated due to the very low quality $980 motor.

I am pleased with the outcome of the service call today. The staff was very nice, the tech was on time and very knowledgeable. He diagnosed my problems, gave me two ways that it could be corrected.

I Would like to say this company is one of the best companies I have worked with. Iron Shield Heating and Air are very professional with a great family feel. My daughter was the one who called them because they had installed a new unit in the house where I live. I had problems with the heat not working and they were called and immediately sent a very kind and knowledgeable Tech out. He spent a great deal of time checking and also calling the company which made me feel comfortable as while they were on the phone I could hear the other person on the phone, and part of the conversation was they could not get the part until the next day. He asked the person on the phone should he keep it hooked up working like it was since he had already done the work and diagnosis but needed a new replacement part. I heard the gentleman say yes keep it at least running the way it was as it was going to get very cold tonight so he made sure he kept me with heat and said he would be back first thing in the morning. Well he sure was back the next morning and with him was the other person who had been on the phone call. I not only received great service but feel like I made new friends who could be trusted. I have worked with many companies from electrical to construction and find this company is worth the great reviews on this page. We cannot make everyone happy all the time but after having been in a business that you have those you will never make happy these reviews say a lot about Iron Shield Heating and their employees. I am sorry to say I forgot his name but I believe it was Bob who came out and what a fantastic reliable and friendly person. Thanks Iron Shield!!!
