How do I know if my ductwork needs to be replaced?

Signs your ductwork may need repair or replacement include uneven temperatures between rooms, visible damage, very old or deteriorated ducts, excessive dust, and high energy bills. A duct inspection can reveal leaks, restrictions, and design issues that affect comfort and efficiency.

Why are some rooms hotter or colder than others?

Hot and cold spots can be caused by duct leaks, poor duct design, closed or undersized vents, or insufficient return air. We can evaluate your duct system and recommend improvements to balance airflow and make your home more comfortable.

How much does duct replacement cost?

The cost of duct replacement depends on the size of your home, the type of ductwork, and how accessible it is. After inspecting your current ducts, we provide a written estimate outlining the scope of work and investment required.

Do leaky ducts increase energy bills?

Yes. Leaky or poorly sealed ducts can lose a significant amount of heated or cooled air into attics, crawlspaces, or basements. This forces your HVAC system to work harder and can noticeably increase your utility bills. Sealing or replacing problem ducts can improve comfort and reduce energy waste.

How often should ductwork be cleaned?

Duct cleaning frequency depends on your home, but many households consider it every few years, especially if there has been construction, heavy dust, pets, or visible debris in the vents. We can inspect your ducts and let you know whether cleaning, sealing, or replacement makes the most sense.

what we do

Our Indoor Air Quality Services

Air Purification

Air purification systems target pollutants like allergens, bacteria, and odors that regular filters miss. At Hoffner Heating & Air Conditioning, we install advanced systems designed to continuously clean the air in your home. Many homeowners deal with persistent allergy symptoms or unpleasant smells. Our purification solutions neutralize these contaminants, leaving your air fresher and healthier.

Air Filtration

Air filtration protects your home from dust, pollen, and airborne particles before they circulate. We install high-efficiency filters that remove more contaminants without restricting airflow. Many households use basic filters that allow allergens to pass through. Our upgraded filtration systems improve indoor air quality while keeping your HVAC operating efficiently.

Humidity Control

Balanced humidity is key to comfort, health, and home preservation. We install whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers that work seamlessly with your HVAC system. Homes with high humidity often face mold growth, while dry air can cause irritation and damage to wood surfaces. Our solutions maintain ideal moisture levels year-round.

Duct Cleaning

Duct cleaning removes dust, allergens, and debris that accumulate inside your HVAC ductwork. We use professional-grade equipment to thoroughly clean your system without damage. Many homeowners experience excess dust, musty odors, or uneven airflow from dirty ducts. Our service restores clean airflow, fresher air, and better system efficiency.

Common Causes of Leaky or Damaged Ducts

1. Poor Installation

Improperly connected or unsealed ducts from the start can create gaps and airflow loss.

2. Age and Wear

Over time, duct materials can degrade, joints can loosen, and seals can dry out or crack.

3. Physical Damage

Construction work, pest activity, or impact in attics or crawl spaces can dent or disconnect ducts.

4. Corrosion or Rust

In humid environments, metal ductwork can rust and weaken, leading to holes or collapse.

Overworked HVAC systems or blocked vents can cause pressure that stresses and damages duct connections.
