"Clark Heating and Cooling was able to come to my house the same day that I called for a much lower service fee ($74) than other companies that I called. The Clark technician immediately knew what was wrong with my AC when he heard the unit and had the part replaced in under 20 minutes."

"We had this system installed by Kettle Moraine in May 2018. This was our first annual inspection of the furnace, as we had the air conditioning checked out this May. Kyle called ahead of his scheduled arrival to confirm he would be on time. He arrived on time, put his booties on to protect our floors, and got right to work. He did a real nice job of checking everything out, and discovered a water leak that was allowing a small amount of moisture/liquid to get on top of the heat exchanger, in three different places, which would over time create significant problems both with the upper and lower heat exchangers. He exlained very clearly, even showing me what was wrong , and what he suspected was causing the leak. He immediately contacted Lennox, and ordered the replacement parts, from our basement. He estimated the parts would be in the shop and ready for installation in about a week. While I'm not thrilled with the quality of the Lennox furnace, leaking and need major parts being replaced within a couple of years, their 10 year parts and labor warranty will cover everything, so that's great."

"we had a burning smell from our vents. i posted on Facebook and was reached out to by the owner and when i told him i was looking for someone to come ASAP he moved things around in his schedule to get a tech here within an hour of opening. Patrick came and identified the issue within 10 minutes. He had to go get the panel and was completely finished with his work in under an hour. He was friendly, attentive and quick to work. i highly recommend!"

"We have used Cardinal for our HVAC and plumbing maintenance and replacement needs for more than several years now, and their technicians are professional AND personable -- we especially like Tyler (HVAC) and Brandon (Plumbing). Plus, Cardinal's occasional service specials and coupons make using them cost-efficient. My only suggestion is that a service window (say, two or four hours) is provided for scheduled non-emergency appointments, so that I'm able to make other appointments for the day."

"We called Eli when our old humidifier started leaking. He came out that day to take a look and recommended a new unit to replace it since it was 22 years old. He returned a few days later and installed the Aprilaire unit and it works like a dream. I would recommend Eli for all of your heating and air repairs."

"Ben was originally a sub contractor for an addition to our home in Highland, WI. He installed new duct work to the dormer addition, and I retained him for furnace replacement, and, later, addition of a central a/c unit. I appreciated his openness to questions, his attention to detail and his technical knowledge. He is a delightful person, totally devoid of b/s, and fully trustworthy."

"Harker Heating And Cooling is the best HVAC contractor we have ever worked with in 40 years. Their web site proudly says they are an “honest company with Midwestern values.” That is absolutely true. Their representative provided in-depth advice, answered our questions. and returned our messages. Their techs were knowledgeable, professional, careful, and friendly. They were on time, on call, and on budget. The service they provided for us over the years could not be better. So when the time finally came to replace our old furnace and A/C we selected them. Unfortunately, they encountered many unexpected problems installing our new equipment. Many more than they had anticipated for the job. But their representative pledged to address every one of them no matter how hard it was for them or how much of their time it took. And that is exactly what they did. No quibbling and no questions. They got the job done right. If you want an honest family contractor who stands behind what they do, and lives by those Midwestern values, then this is the company to hire. You will be glad you did.

FAQs for ducts & vents installation and replacement projects in Madison, WI

Return air vents aren't required in every room, but proper placement is essential for system efficiency. According to industry standards, you'll need one return vent for every 100 to 150 square feet of living space. Ideally, each room would have its own return vent, especially larger rooms exceeding 100 square feet. 

Without adequate return airflow, your HVAC system works harder, energy costs increase, and comfort decreases. A professional assessment can determine the optimal number and placement of return vents for your specific home layout.

Signs that your home needs additional return air vents include rooms that feel consistently stuffy, noticeable temperature variations between rooms, doors that slam shut when the HVAC system operates, or unexpectedly high energy bills. Excessive dust accumulation around supply vents can also indicate inadequate return airflow. 

If you experience these issues, consulting with an HVAC professional can help determine if adding return vents would improve your system's performance.

Supply vents deliver conditioned air into your living spaces, while return air vents draw room air back to your HVAC system for reconditioning. Supply vents push treated air into rooms, while return vents pull air from rooms back toward your heating and cooling equipment. 

Both components are essential for proper air circulation and system balance. Without sufficient return capacity, your HVAC system may experience pressure imbalances that reduce efficiency and comfort.

You should inspect and clean your return air vents at least once annually, according to industry recommendations. However, homes with pets, allergy sufferers, or noticeable dust buildup may benefit from more frequent cleaning. 

Regular maintenance helps maintain good indoor air quality and ensures your HVAC system operates efficiently. Professional duct cleaning, which addresses the entire system beyond just the visible vents, is recommended every few years, depending on your home's specific conditions.
