Ductwork Design, Installation & Repair — GTA & Durham

Proper ductwork is the foundation of HVAC performance. Leaky, undersized, or poorly designed ducts can waste 20–30% of your heating and cooling energy — even with a high-efficiency system. We design, install, seal, and repair ductwork to get your system performing as it should.

Ductwork That Delivers — Design, Installation & Repair

Most HVAC problems we diagnose — uneven temperatures, poor airflow, high energy bills, equipment short-cycling — trace back to a duct system that was never properly designed or has deteriorated over time. A high-efficiency furnace paired with leaky or undersized ducts performs no better than a basic unit installed correctly. Ductwork is where HVAC performance is won or lost.

Services We Provide

  • Duct design & sizing — Manual D duct design ensures every room receives the correct airflow for the installed equipment and home layout.
  • Duct installation — New ductwork for additions, renovations, new construction, or complete replacement of deteriorated systems.
  • Duct sealing — Mastic sealant or foil tape at joints, connections, and plenums — the most cost-effective duct improvement for most homes.
  • Duct repair — Disconnected branches, crushed flex duct, collapsed liner, and failed joints — repaired to restore correct airflow.
  • Air balancing — Adjusting dampers and register positions to equalize airflow across all zones and rooms.
⚠ Signs your ductwork needs attention: uneven temperatures room-to-room · weak airflow from some vents · high energy bills despite new equipment · system short-cycling · dusty rooms or poor air quality · noisy ductwork (banging, whistling). Studies show the average Canadian home loses 20–30% of conditioned air through duct leaks — duct sealing often produces the fastest payback of any HVAC improvement.

Our Process

1

Duct assessment

We inspect accessible ductwork, measure airflow at key registers, and identify leakage points and undersized sections.

2

Design or repair plan

For new installations: Manual D design. For repairs: documented repair scope with before/after airflow targets.

3

Installation or repair

Correct sheet metal sizing, sealed joints, and proper support throughout.

4

Air balancing

Post-installation balancing to verify correct airflow to every room.

Pricing & Financing

Duct sealing: $500–$1,500 depending on access and extent. Partial duct replacement: $1,000–$4,000. Complete new duct system: $4,000–$12,000+. Free assessment for all ductwork projects.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my ductwork is causing problems?

Warning signs: uneven temperatures between rooms, weak airflow from some vents, high energy bills despite newer equipment, system short-cycling, or dusty rooms. A duct assessment identifies whether leakage, undersizing, or improper design is the root cause.

How much does duct sealing cost?

$500–$1,500 for a typical residential duct sealing project, depending on system access and extent of leakage. Duct sealing typically produces the fastest payback of any HVAC investment when duct leakage is the identified problem.

Can you add ductwork for an addition or renovation?

Yes. We design and install new duct branches for additions, finished basements, and renovations — ensuring new areas receive correct airflow without overloading the existing duct system.

Do you do new construction HVAC and ductwork?

Yes. We work with builders and homeowners on complete new construction HVAC packages including Manual J load calculation, equipment selection, Manual D duct design, and full installation.

Is Your Ductwork Costing You Money?
