Ductwork Installation and Repair
Your ductwork is the distribution system that delivers conditioned air throughout your home. Even the most efficient AC system cannot perform well if the ducts are leaky, undersized, poorly designed, or deteriorated. In Cape Coral attics where temperatures reach 150+ degrees, duct problems are especially costly because conditioned air lost into the attic is replaced by super-heated air drawn in through gaps. Project Pros provides complete ductwork services from new installation to sealing and repair of existing systems.
Duct Sealing
The average home loses 20-30% of conditioned air through duct leaks. In a Cape Coral attic, this leaking cool air is replaced by 150-degree attic air being pulled into the duct system through the same gaps. Duct sealing addresses these leaks using mastic sealant and UL-listed foil tape at all connections, joints, and seams. We test duct leakage before and after sealing to verify the improvement. Most homeowners notice immediate comfort improvements and energy savings of 10-25% after professional duct sealing.
Duct Replacement and Installation
If your ductwork is severely deteriorated, crushed, disconnected, or improperly sized, replacement may be more effective than repair. We design and install new duct systems using ACCA Manual D calculations to ensure proper sizing and airflow to every room. New ductwork uses R-8 insulated flex duct or rigid metal duct with external insulation, properly supported and sealed at every connection. For new construction or home additions, we design the duct layout to provide balanced airflow and comfortable temperatures throughout the space.
