"I wish I could give more than five stars. My husband and I are very pleased with the service. Michael came within the window of time he gave us. He installed the first fan and that’s when we realized it didn’t work. Michael moved onto the second fan while I ran out to Lowe’s to purchase another fan. Once the second fan was up and running, he went back and removed the first fan and installed the new one I had purchased. Michael wrapped up the broken one for us to return. Michael went above and beyond for us and we truly appreciated it. He was friendly, tidy (he took all of the trash from the three ceiling fan boxes) and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Michael again or recommend him to our neighbors."

Warning signs include rooms that never seem to reach comfortable temperatures, unexplained increases in utility bills, or unusual sounds when your system operates. You might also notice excessive dust accumulation, visible damage to accessible ductwork, or musty odors coming from vents. Addressing these symptoms promptly results in simpler, less expensive repairs.
Rigid ductwork can last up to 25 years with proper maintenance, while flexible ductwork lasts 10 to 15 years, sometimes up to 20. Factors affecting your ductwork’s longevity include installation quality, environmental conditions, and HVAC maintenance frequency. Regular professional ductwork inspections can identify potential issues before they compromise the entire system.
Replacement becomes worthwhile when your existing system has extensive damage, is over 15 to 20 years old, or requires frequent repairs. New ductwork can improve HVAC efficiency by up to 20%, potentially reducing energy costs significantly. The investment often makes financial sense when repair costs approach half the price of a new installation or when air quality concerns become persistent.
Most standard repairs require four to eight hours of professional time, though complex situations may extend to multiple days. Factors affecting the timeline include accessibility, repair complexity, and whether additional services like wall repair are needed. Your contractor should provide a time estimate before beginning work, with most routine repairs completed within a single day.
