Air Ducts
According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Star program, leaky ducts in attics or crawlspaces can account for 20 percent or more of a home's heating and cooling energy losses. This results in higher utility bills for you and difficulty keeping your house comfortable.
A few signs you may have leaky ducts are if you have:
- High utility bills in summer and winter
- Difficult-to-heat-and-cool rooms
- Stuffy rooms that never seem to feel comfortable
- Attic, crawlspace, or garage ducts
- Tangled or kinked flexible ducts in your system
What Can You Do About Leaky Ducts?
Run your system, and check all the ducts and joints you can access. You can seal these yourself with mastic or foil-backed tape. You should also seal around where the duct meets the wall. Duct tape is actually not recommended for ductwork, and any fabric-backed tape will deteriorate over time. If you have questions about appropriate tape call us at 830-308-5200 or talk to a representative at your local hardware store.
The following maintenance will require an HVAC professional:
Air Duct Insulation
We recommend insulating your ducts. This ensures that the air maintains the correct temperature as it travels to the living spaces in your home.
Air Duct Testing
You can have your ducts tested. One of our certified technicians will take a reading of the air pressure in your ducts and can analyze how much air you lose. From there we can make suggestions about how to improve efficiency.
Air Duct Cleaning
You should have your air ducts cleaned. Over time, dust, mites, bacteria, and other things get sucked into your vents and build up in your ductwork. Imagine all the years of dust in your house getting blown around into the air you breathe. The professionals at All About Air will clean up your ductwork, removing obstructions that restrict your airflow and cleaning out any bacteria and dirt that pollute your indoor air.
You can also have an ultraviolet (UV) light installed in the ductwork. This uses UV radiation to sterilize air, destroying bacteria as well as mold and fungal spores. This serves to greatly improve your indoor air quality.
Air Duct Replacement
When your ductwork can no longer be repaired of its leaks, it’s time for a replacement. Or if you are upgrading or retrofitting your HVAC system, you may need replacement ducts. They are such an important part of your heating and cooling system as well as your indoor air quality. Be sure you talk to our experts so you are ensured of a job well done.
Indoor Air Quality
Indoor Air Quality, or IAQ, is very important to the health and well-being of you and your family.

“A couple of months into our project home on the Lake, the wife started having respiratory issues as did myself a week or so later. Even though cedar season was just around the corner we both believed that there was something not right with the house. We eventually found the air conditioning system appeared as if it had been run without filtration for some time. The intake duct was layered with dust and dirt from the filter housing all the way up into the air handler in the attic. We made a quick decision that this was not something we wanted to tackle ourselves and enlisted the help of the folks at All About Air. A technician was sent out in a couple of days to do a complete inspection on our A/C system and the duct work. Chris, our technician, verified that both the compressor and air handling units were in good working order and appeared to have recently been cleaned. He then showed us video of the inside of the duct work and as we suspected the duct work was full of what looked like years of dust and grime. Being a circa 1985 home we decided to replace all of the ducting rather than attempt to have it cleaned. So long story short, the guys at AAA designed and installed a system that is not only much more efficient and cost effective than the original … The wife and I no longer have breathing issues in our old/new home !!!
Big Thanks to Brian, Brandon, Amber and all the guys at All About Air !!!”

“My experience with All About Air was absolutely satisfying. The work they did at my house was thorough and well done. Brian and David had to change the whole unit after trying to repair the damage on the air duct and the heat pump. They worked all day long, up to almost 9 PM on a Friday. I appreciate Brian´s honesty and consideration as well as his
expertise. Thanks to the whole team of All About Air!”
