Your Ducts Might Be the Problem

You'd be surprised how often heating and cooling problems come down to bad ductwork. Leaky ducts can waste 20-30% of the air your system puts out. That means higher energy bills, rooms that are too hot or too cold, and a system that works way harder than it should. At JB Plumbing HVAC, we've been solving ductwork problems in Reading and Berks County since 2011.

Signs of Ductwork Problems

  • Rooms that are always too hot or too cold -- air isn't getting where it needs to go
  • High energy bills -- you're paying to heat or cool your attic or crawl space
  • Dusty home -- leaky ducts pull in dust and allergens
  • Weak airflow from vents -- ducts might be disconnected or crushed
  • Your HVAC system runs constantly -- it's trying to compensate for lost air
  • Noisy ducts -- rattling, popping, or whistling sounds

Our Ductwork Services

Duct Sealing

We find and seal leaks in your existing ductwork. This is often the most cost-effective fix -- you'd be amazed at how much comfort improves just by sealing up the gaps.

Duct Repair

Crushed, disconnected, or damaged ducts need to be fixed or replaced. We repair problem sections and make sure everything is properly connected and insulated.

Duct Installation

Finishing a basement? Adding a room? Converting to central air? We design and install new ductwork that's properly sized for your system and your home.

Duct Insulation

Ducts running through unconditioned spaces like attics and crawl spaces lose a lot of energy. Proper insulation keeps the air the right temperature from your system to your vents.

Ductwork and Your New System

If you're getting a new AC or heater, your ductwork matters. A brand-new high-efficiency system connected to leaky, undersized ducts won't perform the way it should. We always check your ductwork when quoting a new system installation and include any needed duct upgrades in the price.

Regular maintenance includes a duct connection inspection, and our maintenance plan at $18.99/month helps catch duct problems early.
