If your home has hot spots, weak airflow, or rising energy costs, there’s a good chance your ducts need professional attention.
Duct Repair Services Offered by R.J. Kielty
Air Duct Leak Detection and Sealing
Leaking ducts are the most common cause of uneven cooling and inflated energy bills. Our technicians use pressure testing and visual inspection methods to pinpoint leaks throughout your duct system. Once identified, we seal gaps and cracks with mastic sealant or metal-backed tape, not the cloth “duct tape” that degrades quickly in Florida’s heat and humidity.
Small leaks at joints and connections often go unnoticed for years. A professional leak detection service catches these problems early before they compound into larger system failures.
Flexible and Rigid Ductwork Repair
Florida homes commonly use flex duct in attic spaces, and these lines are prone to tears, kinks, and compression over time. Rodents, foot traffic during attic work, and even settling insulation can damage flex runs. We repair or replace damaged sections and re-secure connections to maintain proper airflow.
Rigid metal ductwork develops its own set of issues, loose seams, corrosion, and joint separation. Our team repairs sheet metal ducts with code-compliant methods and materials, restoring full system performance.
Duct Insulation Repair and Replacement
Duct insulation prevents condensation and energy loss as conditioned air moves through unconditioned spaces like attics and crawlspaces. In the New Port Richey climate, attic temperatures regularly exceed 140°F during summer months. Damaged or missing insulation forces your AC system to work significantly harder.
We inspect insulation condition during every duct repair visit and replace deteriorated sections with R-value-appropriate material that meets current Florida Building Code requirements.
Damaged Ductwork Section Replacement
Sometimes a repair isn’t enough. Ducts that have collapsed, suffered extensive water damage, or deteriorated beyond reasonable repair need full section replacement. R.J. Kielty’s technicians remove the compromised segment and install new ductwork that matches your existing system’s size and configuration.
We size replacement sections carefully to maintain balanced airflow across all supply registers. Improperly sized ducts create pressure imbalances that reduce efficiency and strain your HVAC equipment.
Duct Joint and Connection Restoration
Joints and connections are the most failure-prone points in any duct system. Boot connections at registers, trunk-to-branch takeoffs, and plenum connections all loosen over time due to thermal expansion and vibration from the air handler.
Our technicians re-secure loose joints using mechanical fasteners and seal them with appropriate materials. This targeted duct repair approach restores system integrity without the cost of replacing entire duct runs.
Complete Duct System Inspection and Diagnostics
Not sure what’s wrong? Start with a full duct system inspection. Our technicians evaluate your entire duct layout, supply and return lines, connections, insulation condition, and airflow balance at each register.
We document findings and provide a clear report with recommended repairs, estimated costs, and priority levels. This diagnostic approach helps you make informed decisions about your duct repair investment rather than guessing at the problem.
