Hot rooms, cold rooms and weak airflow are often a duct problem, not an equipment problem. We design, modify and repair ductwork so air goes where it should.
Your ductwork is the delivery system for every bit of heating and cooling your equipment produces. If the ducts are undersized, leaking, crushed, disconnected or poorly laid out, some rooms get too much air, others get almost none, and you pay to heat and cool your attic or crawl space. Even a brand-new system can't overcome bad ductwork.
Cool Mountain Air handles ductwork modification, repair and design for homes and businesses across Northwest Georgia. That includes adding returns and intake vents, repairing damaged or leaking ducts, reworking systems that never moved air correctly, and designing new duct runs for additions and renovations.
Duct problems are some of the most commonly misdiagnosed issues in heating and cooling, and solving the difficult problems is what we specialize in. Fixing the ducts often solves hot and cold rooms, weak airflow and high energy bills that a new unit alone never would.
These are some of the most common signs that the problem is in the ducts.
Some rooms are always uncomfortable no matter where you set the thermostat.
Little air comes out of certain registers, even when the system is running hard.
Leaky ducts in an attic or crawl space waste the air you're paying to heat and cool.
Whistling, rattling or roaring at the registers can mean ducts or returns are undersized.
In many Georgia homes, the ductwork runs through a hot attic in summer and a cold crawl space in winter. Every leak, gap or disconnected joint lets conditioned air escape into those spaces, and unconditioned air can be pulled back into the system.
Undersized returns are another common problem. If the system can't pull in enough air, it can't deliver enough air either, which reduces comfort, strains the blower and can shorten the life of your equipment.
When you replace your heating and cooling system, it's the right time to make sure the ductwork is a match. We evaluate the ducts as part of every installation and make modifications when they're needed.
Ductwork services for homes and businesses.
The most common causes are a long or undersized duct run, a leaking or disconnected duct, a missing or blocked return, or a room with heavy sun exposure. We'll find the cause and recommend the right fix, which is often a duct modification rather than a new system.
Signs include high energy bills, rooms that never get comfortable, weak airflow at some registers, and extra dust in the house. Visible gaps, crushed ducts or disconnected joints in the attic or crawl space are also common culprits.
Not always. Many existing duct systems work fine with new equipment. But if your ducts are undersized, damaged or poorly designed, a new system won't perform as it should. We check the ductwork as part of every installation.
Yes. We design and install new duct runs for additions and renovations. If extending the existing system isn't practical, a ductless mini-split may be a better option.
