🌬️ Ductwork Services in Orange County — Inspection, Repair, Replacement & Installation

Your HVAC is only as good as its hvac duct. Leaky, undersized, or poorly insulated ductwork wastes energy, creates hot/cold rooms, and strains your system. GoTech Air Conditioning & Heating designs, repairs, replaces, and installs home ductwork. This ductwork provides quiet, even airflow and improves efficiency throughout your home.

Signs Your Ducts Need Attention

• Hot/cold spots, weak airflow, or rooms that never feel right

• Dusty home, musty odors, or visible debris around registers

• High bills (or long run times) without better comfort

• Loud ducts: whistling, rattling, or “oil canning” pops

• Visibly kinked, crushed, or disconnected flexible ducts

• Old tape peeling, missing insulation, or rusted plenums

Ductwork Services We Provide

Understanding HVAC Duct Efficiency

1) Duct Inspection & Testing

• Camera inspections to spot kinks, disconnections, debris, or moisture issues

• Static pressure & airflow checks to confirm sizing and balance

• Leak detection at boots, seams, plenums, and equipment connections

• Return-air evaluation to eliminate negative pressure and temperature swings

2) Duct Repair & Sealing

• Seal joints and seams with mastic or UL-listed metal tape (never cloth “duct tape”)

• Reconnect and mechanically fasten loose takeoffs/boots

• Replace crushed or excessively long flex runs; correct sagging

• Insulate ducts in attics/garages/crawlspaces to reduce heat gain/loss

3) Duct Replacement & Right-Sizing (Manual-D–informed)

When ducts are too small, too long, or too leaky, replacement pays off. We:

• Re-design supply/return runs for balanced airflow

• Use rigid metal (“hard ductwork”) where appropriate and short, straight runs of quality flex only where it makes sense

• Properly support and seal all transitions, plenums, and boots

• Commission the system (airflow targets, static pressure, room balance)

4) New Ductwork Installation (Renovations & Add-Ons)

• Residential ductwork installation for remodels, room additions, and conversions

• Zone-friendly layouts and provisions for filtration/IAQ upgrades

• Clean, sealed installs that are serviceable and quiet

5) Maintenance & Hygiene

• Filter strategy (depth, MERV, pressure-drop) that your blower can handle

• Coil/condensate checks to reduce microbial growth entering ducts

• Duct cleaning: only as-needed after inspection (e.g., post-construction dust, vermin, or verified mold). We scope cleaning properly and seal access points when work is complete.

Materials & Methods We Trust

• Rigid metal duct & sealed metal plenums for durability, airflow, and cleanliness

• Short, tensioned flex duct (with minimal bends) when appropriate

• Airtight boots & collars with mastic-sealed connections

• Insulated runs in unconditioned spaces to cut losses

• Correct hanger spacing and line-of-travel to prevent noise and restriction

Why Proper Design Beats “Patchwork Fixes”

Rules of thumb and random upsizing don’t work. We follow load-based design and air distribution best practices so every register sees the airflow it needs. The result: quieter operation, even temperatures, lower static pressure, and a system that actually delivers its rated efficiency.

Ductwork Cost — What Affects It?

Every home is different. Pricing depends on:

• Home size, number of runs, and access (attic/crawl/garage)

• Scope (targeted sealing vs. full replacement)

• Materials (rigid metal, lined plenums, quality flex, insulation level)

• Extras (new returns, filtration cabinet, IAQ components)

We provide written, itemized estimates and options (repair vs. replace) so you can choose the smartest path.

Helpful Resources

• DOE – Minimizing Energy Losses in Ducts. Seal/insulate ducts, especially in unconditioned spaces.

• ENERGY STAR – Duct Sealing (brochure + homeowner guide). Mastic/metal tape (not cloth), insulate, and seal registers.

• EPA – “Should You Have the Air Ducts in Your Home Cleaned?” Clean as needed, not on a routine schedule.

• California HERS / Title 24 (context). Duct testing requirements under certain permits; ask locally.
