Your energy bills drop. That’s the first thing you’ll notice after proper air duct repair.
No more rooms that stay cold while others get too hot. No more cranking up the thermostat just to feel comfortable in your own living room. When your ductwork actually works, your HVAC system stops fighting itself.
You’ll breathe cleaner air too. Damaged ducts pull in dust, debris, and whatever else is lurking in your crawl spaces or attic. Fix the leaks, seal the gaps, and suddenly your home’s air quality improves without you having to think about it.
The real win? Your HVAC system lasts longer. When air flows properly through repaired ducts, your heating and cooling equipment doesn’t have to work overtime. Less strain means fewer breakdowns and more years before you’re shopping for a replacement system.
We’ve been solving ductwork problems for San Leandro homeowners who got tired of Band-Aid solutions. We’re the team property owners call when they want the job done right the first time.
We’ve seen every type of duct damage San Leandro’s older homes can throw at us. Disconnected joints, crushed flexible ducts, holes that let conditioned air pour into your attic instead of your rooms. Most importantly, we know how to fix these problems properly.
You won’t get a sales pitch for services you don’t need. We’ll show you exactly what’s wrong, explain why it’s costing you money, and give you a straight answer about what it takes to fix it.
We start with a real inspection, not a sales presentation. That means getting into your crawl space or attic to see what’s actually happening with your ductwork. We’ll show you the problems we find and explain how each one affects your comfort and energy bills.
Next comes the repair work. Disconnected ducts get properly reconnected and sealed. Damaged sections get replaced with quality materials that match your system. Leaky joints get sealed with professional-grade materials that actually last.
We test everything before we leave. You’ll see the difference in airflow immediately, and your next energy bill will show you the difference in efficiency. No guessing whether the repair worked – you’ll know because your home will feel comfortable again and your HVAC system won’t be running constantly.

Air duct repair means fixing the actual problems, not covering them up. We handle disconnected ducts, damaged flexible ductwork, leaky joints, and crushed or collapsed sections. If it’s affecting your airflow or energy efficiency, we fix it properly.
San Leandro homes built in the 60s and 70s often have ductwork that’s never been properly maintained. We’ve repaired systems where half the conditioned air was leaking into crawl spaces instead of reaching the rooms. These aren’t small problems – they’re costing you serious money every month.
Our repairs use quality materials designed for your specific system. No temporary patches or shortcuts that fail in six months. When we repair your ductwork, you get a system that works efficiently for years, not weeks.
High energy bills are usually the first sign, especially if they’ve increased without explanation. You might also notice rooms that never get comfortable, your HVAC system running constantly, or dust buildup around vents. Strange noises from your ductwork or visible damage in accessible areas are obvious red flags. If you’re cranking your thermostat higher just to feel comfortable, damaged ductwork is likely wasting your conditioned air before it reaches your living spaces.
Duct cleaning removes dust and debris from inside your ducts. Duct repair fixes structural problems like leaks, disconnections, and damage that affect airflow and efficiency. Cleaning won’t help if your ducts are leaking air into your attic or crawl space. You need repair when ducts are disconnected, crushed, or have holes that let conditioned air escape. Many homeowners try cleaning first, but if the underlying damage isn’t fixed, the efficiency and comfort problems continue.
Repair costs depend on the extent of damage and accessibility of your ductwork. Minor repairs like sealing a few joints might cost a few hundred dollars, while extensive repairs involving multiple disconnected sections or replacement of damaged ductwork can run into the thousands. The key is getting an honest assessment of what actually needs fixing. Many San Leandro homes have ductwork that’s been patched repeatedly – sometimes a comprehensive repair costs less than continued band-aid fixes.
Simple tasks like changing filters or tightening loose connections might be manageable, but most duct repairs require professional equipment and expertise. Accessing ductwork often means crawling through tight spaces, and improper repairs can create bigger problems. Sealing materials, proper connections, and understanding airflow requirements aren’t DIY-friendly. We’ve repaired many systems where homeowner attempts made the original problem worse. Professional repair ensures the job is done safely and effectively the first time.
Most residential duct repairs take between 4-8 hours, depending on the extent of damage and accessibility. Simple repairs like sealing a few leaky joints can be completed in a few hours. More extensive work involving multiple disconnected sections or replacement of damaged ductwork might take a full day. We’ll give you a realistic timeline after inspecting your system. The good news is you’ll notice improved airflow and comfort immediately after the repair is completed.
Properly repaired ductwork typically reduces energy costs by 20-40%, sometimes more in severely damaged systems. When your ducts leak, you’re paying to heat or cool your attic and crawl spaces instead of your living areas. Sealing these leaks means more conditioned air reaches your rooms, so your HVAC system doesn’t work as hard. The energy savings start immediately and continue every month. Many San Leandro homeowners see the repair cost recovered in energy savings within the first year.
