The Basics of HVAC Ductwork

Ducts are essential to the performance and efficiency of your HVAC system. They distribute heated or cooled air throughout your home. If not installed or maintained properly, ducts can lead to poor airflow, higher energy bills, and poor indoor air quality.

At Mountain House Mechanical, we specialize in duct installation, maintenance, and repair. Our experienced technicians assess your ducts and recommend the best solution—whether that means a full replacement, cleaning, or simple repairs.

Leaky ducts are a common issue that causes significant energy loss and allows pollutants into your home. We inspect for leaks and make the necessary repairs to keep your system running efficiently.

Regular maintenance helps keep your ductwork in good condition. Our maintenance plans include inspections and minor repairs that prolong the life of your system, boost efficiency, and improve indoor air quality.
