Duct Replacement & Repair in San Jose

The heart of any HVAC system is its furnace and air conditioner, and they're often the first suspects when your home's temperature isn't quite right. However, the problem may not always lie with these core components.

Sometimes, the issue lies in how the conditioned air is delivered throughout your home. Leaky, obstructed, or damaged ducts can severely hinder airflow. If you've had your HVAC system serviced by inexperienced technicians, they might have inadvertently introduced new problems. For instance, a newly installed AC might be oversized for your existing ductwork, or the new ducts might be improperly sized for your home.

At IRBIS Air, Plumbing & Electrical, we deliver exceptional duct replacement and repair services without any amateur mistakes. Our commitment to excellence is evident in our team of skilled technicians, who participate in weekly training sessions to stay ahead of industry trends and best practices.

Our visits include a comprehensive inspection of your entire system, designed to identify any hidden issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. We can also provide you with a detailed report outlining our findings, complete with photographs for transparency and documentation.

How Do I Know If My Ductwork Needs to Be Replaced?

While ductwork is designed to last for years, it's not invincible. 

Here are some signs that could indicate your ductwork needs to be replaced:

  • Age: If your ductwork is over 15 years old, it might be nearing the end of its lifespan. Older ductwork can develop leaks, cracks, and corrosion, compromising its efficiency.
  • Visible damage: Check for visible signs of damage, such as holes, tears, or sagging sections. Damaged ductwork can lead to air leaks that reduce your system's efficiency and increase your energy bills.
  • Poor airflow: Do you notice uneven temperatures throughout your home or weak airflow from your vents? This could be a sign of leaky or inefficient ductwork.
  • High energy bills: If your energy bills have been steadily increasing without a clear explanation, leaky or inefficient ductwork could be the culprit.
  • Dust and allergens: Are you noticing an increase in dust and allergens in your home? Leaky ductwork can pull in dust, pollen, and other contaminants from your attic or crawl space, reducing your indoor air quality.
  • Noisy operation: If you hear rattling, banging, or other unusual noises coming from your ductwork, it could be a sign of loose connections or damaged components.

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to have your ductwork inspected by a qualified HVAC professional at IRBIS Air, Plumbing & Electrical. We can assess the condition of your ductwork and provide an honest recommendation on whether you should schedule repairs or replace the ductwork altogether.

What Is the Minimum R-value for Ductwork in California?

In California, the minimum R-value for ductwork is crucial in promoting energy efficiency and maintaining indoor comfort, especially in varying climates across the state. 

The California Energy Code (Title 24) stipulates specific insulation requirements for duct systems, particularly when they are located in unconditioned spaces like attics or crawl spaces. For ducts within these areas, the minimum insulation R-value is typically set at R-6. However, in some cases, especially in newly constructed homes or during significant renovations, higher R-values may be recommended or required to optimize overall system efficiency.
