Air Ducts
Air ducts play a vital role in circulating conditioned air throughout your home. To help improve your Virginia home’s airflow and indoor air quality (IAQ), you want your air duct system, or ductwork, at its best.
Whether you need ductwork installation, replacement, repair, or maintenance, our team at Able Heating & Air is here to help. We offer complete air duct services in Locust Grove, VA, and nearby communities.
Do You Have Leaky Ducts?
A correctly installed and well-maintained air duct system provides healthy ventilation and air control. It also helps protect your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Many heating and cooling issues that seem mechanical could trace back to your air ducts.
When there is an issue with your ductwork, leaky ducts are the usual suspects. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) finds leaky ducts can lower your monthly energy efficiency by up to 30 percent. If you’ve noticed inconsistencies in ventilation coming from your ductwork, you may have a circulation problem caused by a leak.
Leaky ducts can also have an impact on indoor air quality. Leaks open up your ductwork to unwanted contaminants: dust, moisture (a favorite of mold), bacteria, pests, and more. These contaminants can trigger or exacerbate allergies and asthma.
Think your ducts may have sprung a leak? Here are some giveaways:
- Pricier utility bills, especially during winter or summer
- Noticeably tangled or kinked flexible ducts
- Rooms with difficulty heating or cooling, including inconsistent temperatures
Poor insulation can lead to certain inconsistencies. We recommend casing your air ducts with proper insulation to ensure your ductwork stays consistent throughout your home.
Duct Cleaning
Over time, your air ducts collect dust and debris. Other hidden contaminants like mildew, mold, or pest infestations can negatively impact your indoor air quality.
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning your air ducts every three to five years. You should schedule an immediate cleaning following a remodeling project or if you find unwanted pests like mice or cockroaches in your home. Another important scenario for duct cleaning is mold.

“Chris arrived exactly on time and wasted no time going under the house to assess the problem. He diagnosed the problem and made temporary repairs and brought me pictures of the before and after situation. There was no charge for this service. Chris suggested that I need to completely replace the 40 year old ductwork and I have an appointment for Greg to come and give me an estimate on doing the work. I highly recommend this company.”
