"They installed our AC system; that went fine. But several years later, when it needed repair. They came out and looked at the problem, and then ghosted me. They didn't return my multiple calls. When I finally got somebody else to come out to look at the problem, they told me that the warranty had just expired on the part that needed replacing. Putting 2 +2 together, Buric ghosted me to run out the clock on my warranty for the repair of the product they installed. Would you ever hire anybody who behaves like that???"

Beltway Air Conditioning & Heating is locally owned & operated out of Hanover, MD. We are Lennox Premier Dealers & are BBB accredited with A+ ratings & reviews - We provide services & installations within a 50 mile radius of home base. Our team specializes in installing and servicing heating, cooling & ventilation equipment, whether it is a small A/C repair or a commercial rooftop - our team is trained to take care of all your HVAC needs! We bring extensive experience and professionalism to every home and commercial building. Our work reflects our passion! The Best Price + The Best Work = Your Best Value. We have uniformed & well-trained staff that under goes background checks and drug screening upon hire and randomly. All of our service professionals are also licensed to work in the state of Maryland.
"We are a bit disappointed by Beltway. While we do appreciate some of their efforts in trying to remedy the situation, the overall experience has been quite negative. Please see reasons below: 1. A brand new HVAC system that was installed on Wednesday completely failed by Saturday morning - which was less than 3 days of installation. This calls into question the quality of Beltway’s product or job, or both. 2. Weekend messenger centers have been extremely frustrating and unhelpful, basically saying that Beltway does not serve customers during non-business hours and that customers just have to deal with Beltway’s issues on their own. We called 4 times this weekend out of desperation. Yet each time they showed no sympathy on the fact that our baby has been suffering through the 80 to 90-degree heat trying to nap. 3. A weekend technician was finally sent on late Sunday afternoon (thanks to owner’s stepping in); however his timing messed up weekend plan as one of us had to stay home and completely missed our good friend’s son’s high school graduation party (now people at the party learned about Beltway…). 4. Unfortunately, this weekend technical was unable to solve the problem and decided to leave us with 2 portable cooling units, which, unfortunately, were extremely loud and inefficient in cooling down, so most of us weren’t able to sleep, just like the night before. Felt like all of their products that we’ve coped with in the past 5 days have been nothing but disappointing. 5. Finally, the full crew came on Monday. But their timing here again messed up the baby’s nap schedule - as the upstairs system was right next to the nursery. This is our first time hiring Beltway. The amount of inconvenience and frustration that they had created in the past 3 days was unbelievable. The experience has been quite negative from multiple aspects, calling into question not only their customer service ability/arrangement but also quality of their products and jobs. We don’t know if we can trust Beltway again or hire them again."

Professional duct sealing can provide long-lasting results when performed correctly. The durability depends on factors like the quality of materials used, your HVAC system's condition, and regular maintenance practices.
Signs that your ducts may need attention include rising energy bills, uneven heating or cooling, and excessive dust accumulation. Regular HVAC system inspections can help identify any developing issues with your duct sealing.
Aerosol duct sealing products used by professionals are designed with household safety in mind. The sealants have minimal volatile organic compounds and are formulated for residential applications.
During the application process, technicians may recommend temporarily vacating the immediate work area for comfort. Once the sealant has cured according to the manufacturer's specifications, the system can be used normally without safety concerns.
Several indicators suggest your ducts might need sealing. Watch for rooms that are consistently too hot or cold, higher than normal energy bills, or excessive dust accumulation despite regular cleaning. You might also notice your HVAC system running longer than usual to maintain comfortable temperatures. Visible duct connections in accessible areas like basements or attics might show obvious gaps or disconnections that indicate leakage problems.
Sealing leaky ducts reduces heating and cooling expenses by approximately 10% to 20%. Your actual savings depend on factors like your current duct leakage level, overall home insulation, and local energy costs. Homes with significant existing leakage tend to see more dramatic improvements. The energy savings accumulate monthly, helping to recover your initial investment over time while providing improved comfort and indoor air quality.
Cleaning your ducts before sealing can improve results by removing debris that might interfere with proper sealant adhesion. If your ducts show signs of significant dust buildup, mold, or pest activity, cleaning before sealing is advisable. A professional inspection can determine whether cleaning would benefit your specific situation. Many HVAC companies offer combined cleaning and sealing services that may provide better overall value.
Standard homeowners' insurance often doesn't cover air duct sealing for energy efficiency purposes. Insurance may only cover duct repairs or sealing if the damage resulted from a covered event like a storm or fire. Routine maintenance and energy improvements usually fall outside standard policy coverage. If you're uncertain about your coverage, review your specific policy details or consult with your insurance provider directly.
