About Our Ductwork Services
Common Ductwork Problems in Georgia
Leaks and Gaps
Duct leaks are common in Georgia's humid climate and can cause energy loss. Our team repairs and seals these gaps to reduce air leakage in the duct system and restore efficiency, and industry studies show duct systems can lose 20-30% of airflow through leaks.
Poor Airflow
If you're experiencing uneven cooling or heating in your home, duct issues can cause uneven temperatures and prevent cooled air from reaching every room evenly. When needed, we can modify ductwork and add balancing dampers to improve room-by-room airflow.
Clogged or Blocked Ducts
Blockages can restrict airflow within the home. Our HVAC crew will clear your ducts with professional air duct cleaning services to restore proper function and airflow to your entire system.
Ductwork Damage
Whether it's from age, wear, or pests, we can assess and fix damage to your home’s ductwork so your HVAC system runs smoothly.
Improper Duct Installation
At James Thomas Heating & Cooling, we fix poor installations and rework systems to provide proper ductwork for your home, correct issues that can cause pressure imbalances, and maximize HVAC efficiency, with proper sealing and securing of ducts helping prevent sagging and support efficient airflow.
Our Ductwork Repair & Modification Process
STEP 01
Inspection
To begin, we will thoroughly inspect your duct system to check air movement, visible ductwork issues, and signs such as unusual noises that may point to repair needs.
STEP 02
Professional Assessment
Once we pinpoint the problem, we’ll provide a professional assessment of your ductwork’s needs, including how your HVAC equipment and existing ductwork system work together.
STEP 03
Solution Design
Next, we’ll create a customized plan to address the issue, built for your home’s HVAC applications and designed to improve your system’s performance for long-term heating installation and air conditioning comfort.
STEP 04
Ductwork Repair & Modifications
Our skilled ductwork team will make the necessary repairs or modifications to restore your system to its best, including duct sealing when leaks are present.
We mechanically fasten ductwork before sealing, so the repair holds up over time.
For lasting performance, we use mastic sealant, a thick water-based paste used for sealing duct joints and gaps up to 1/4 inch, with fiberglass mesh tape on wider openings; for smaller leaks, seams, or small holes, we use UL 181-rated foil tape, and latex sealant remains flexible after curing for normal duct movement.
When appropriate, Aeroseal pressurizes the duct system to seal holes smaller than 5/8 inch, and Duct Armor can add sealing and insulation.
STEP 05
Final Check & Testing
Before we wrap up, we double-check everything to confirm your system performs as it should.
