What the lab shows

  • Leaks in unsealed ducts quietly send part of the air you paid for into the attic or crawl space.
  • Sealing comes first, then insulating the ducts, so the insulation protects what is left.
  • A duct test with a pressure gauge shows your real number, and our crew can run one.

Where ducts leak

Four places to look first.

Seams and joints

Sections of trunk and branch ducts are joined by tape or mastic that dries out in a hot attic.

Collars and boots

Where a branch meets the trunk or a duct meets the ceiling, gaps are common.

Flex duct

Tears, kinks and loose clamps are easy to miss and cost a lot of air.

The return side

Return leaks pull dusty attic or crawl space air into the system.

Good questions

Duct Leak Lab questions

Why are some rooms too hot or too cold?

The usual causes are duct leaks, long or undersized runs, missing return air, a hot attic and sun on big windows. A technician can measure airflow and pressure to find the cause. Our Comfort Map shows how these issues change the rooms in a house.

What size system does my house need?

Size depends on far more than square footage: insulation, windows, sun, ducts and how people use the house. An oversized system cools fast, shuts off early and leaves the air humid. We calculate the load instead of copying the old unit, and our Tonnage Finder gives you a starting range.

How do I get a price?

Fill in the form on any page, or call or text 615-431-3789. Photos of the unit and its label help us come prepared. Repairs are priced after a diagnosis, and replacements after a short visit, so the written price covers equipment, labor and extras.

Want your own duct test?

We can test the ducts with a pressure gauge, show you the result and seal what needs it.
