Ductwork
Abington Ductwork Services
The township of Abington, PA, experiences a wide range of temperatures, from summer highs in the 90s to winter lows below 20 degrees, making an effective heating and cooling system essential, which includes solid, functional ductwork.
Your home’s duct system is a series of channels that carry heated or cooled air from your furnace and air conditioner through the building. The ducts are attached to vents and installed into floors, walls, and ceilings, allowing airflow into and out of each room. At Chud Heating and Cooling in Abington, our technicians understand how important sealed and clean ductwork is to your comfort, and we offer expert services that’ll keep your heat and cooled air flowing well through your entire home.

Signs Your Ductwork Needs Repair or Replacement
Here are some of the most common signs it’s time to call Chud for duct repair services in Abington.
Weak Airflow
Gaps in your ductwork interrupt the airflow, letting conditioned air escape. If you think the air from your vents is weaker than usual, you may need duct repair.
Dirty Vents
Holes and cracks in the vents let dirt, dust, hair, and other contaminants in, eventually causing them to appear in the vents. If you see debris in your home’s vents, it’s a sure sign there’s an issue in the ducts.
Whistling or Banging Noises
Ducts with holes in them may whistle as the air flows through, or they could make a banging sound or cause heavy vibrations as loose connections knock together. A professional should inspect any strange sounds from your HVAC system. Call Chud for an inspection today.
Lower HVAC Performance
Because the conditioned air escapes from the ducts before it reaches its intended destination, your HVAC system will struggle to keep all the rooms in your house at your desired temperature. You’ll have uneven heating and cooling, and the HVAC system will start to falter if it’s forced to overwork for too long.
You may need duct replacement if:
- Pests have infested the ducts
- Your ducts are over 10 to 15 years old
- They’re visibly damaged
Benefits of Professional Duct Sealing in Abington Homes
It may be tempting to slap some foil or mastic tape on a leaky duct and call it a day. However, having your ducts sealed professionally means you’ll see many benefits.
Expert Duct Services
Having your ducts sealed by Chud Cooling & Heating technicians will give you peace of mind, because we do it right, without cutting corners.
A More Comfortable Home
Professionally sealed ducts allow your HVAC system to do its job, heating your home in the winter months and keeping it cool when temperatures reach the high 90s in the next heat wave. With well-sealed ducts, you’ll enjoy better home comfort.
Better Energy Efficiency
Leaky ducts allow your cooled or heated air to escape into the walls, basement, and other parts of your house before it reaches the vents. This makes your HVAC system work harder to reach your desired temperature. Getting your ducts repaired will reduce the amount of energy your furnace or AC has to use, reducing wear and tear on the system and lowering your environmental impact.
Better Air Quality
Your ducts transport the air you breathe. If they’re cracked or damaged, contaminants like dust, allergens, and even pests can get in. With sealed, regularly maintained ducts, your indoor air quality will be cleaner, keeping your lungs healthier.
Money Savings
The US Department of Energy estimates that ducts that leak heated air into unheated spaces may add hundreds of dollars a year to energy bills. We provide duct sealing to Abington, PA, customers that reduces energy waste, meaning you’ll save on your heating and cooling bills, too.
How Ductwork Installation Works
Ductwork installation in Abington requires careful planning to ensure the ducts and vents are correctly installed and that every piece works with your HVAC system.
Step 1
The first step to HVAC ductwork replacement in Abington is to schedule an in-home consultation. We’ll examine your home layout, heating and cooling system, and other factors to determine the best pathway for the ducts.
Step 2
On installation day, we install the ducts, vents, support structures, and secure connections between ducts to give your conditioned air a clear pathway to each room. Every part will be measured and cut precisely to ensure a perfect fit in your home.
Step 3
Once everything is in place, we’ll seal the system and test it for leaks and airflow quality, evaluating its performance.
