At a glance
- Why it matters: ENERGY STAR estimates a typical duct system loses about 20–30% of the air moving through it to leaks, holes and poor connections
- Services: new duct systems, full replacement, repairs, sealing, added returns, and design for new additions
- Attic heat: Laredo attics often get far hotter than outdoor air in summer, so insulation and sealing matter

Signs your ductwork needs attention
- Some rooms are always hotter than others
- Weak airflow at certain vents
- Dust buildup, or a musty smell when the system runs
- Visible crushed, kinked, disconnected or torn ducts in the attic
- High bills even though the AC is in good shape
- Ducts that are 15–25+ years old
What a quality duct job includes
- Duct design sized for your system's airflow (ACCA Manual D is the industry method)
- Sealed connections using mastic or approved tape, not just cloth duct tape
- Insulation that meets current energy code for attic ducts
- Proper support so flex duct doesn't sag or kink
- Adequate return air. Too few returns starve the system of airflow.
- Airflow testing after installation

📞 (956) 307-9262Ducts and AC performance go together
A new high-efficiency AC connected to leaky, undersized ducts won't perform the way it's rated. If you're planning an AC replacement, have the contractor inspect the ductwork at the same time. If your AC can't get the house below 78°F, ductwork is one of the first things to check.
