Ductwork Installation and Repair in Cape Coral

Professional Duct Design, Installation, Sealing, and Repair for Optimal Airflow

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my ducts are leaking?

Signs of duct leaks include rooms that are harder to cool than others, high energy bills despite a functioning AC system, excessive dust in your home, and musty odors when the AC runs. A duct leakage test can measure exactly how much air your ducts are losing.

Should I use duct tape on my ducts?

Ironically, standard duct tape is terrible for sealing ducts. It dries out and fails quickly in attic heat. Professional duct sealing uses mastic sealant (a thick adhesive) and UL-181 rated foil tape that withstand the extreme temperatures found in Cape Coral attics.

How long does ductwork last?

Properly installed ductwork can last 15-25 years. However, in Cape Coral attics, the extreme heat accelerates deterioration of flex duct insulation and connections. If your ducts are over 15 years old, an inspection can determine if sealing, repair, or replacement is needed.
