Air ducts play a vital role in circulating conditioned air throughout your home. To help improve your Massachusetts home’s airflow and indoor air quality (IAQ), you want your air duct system—or ductwork—performing at its best.
Whether you need ductwork installation, replacement, repair, or maintenance, our team at Chaves HVAC is here to help. We offer complete air duct services in Marlborough, MA , and surrounding communities.
Do You Have Leaky Ducts?
A correctly installed and well-maintained air duct system provides healthy ventilation and air control. It also helps protect your HVAC equipment. In fact, many heating and cooling issues that seem mechanical can actually be traced back to ductwork problems.
One of the most common culprits? Leaky ducts.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), leaky ductwork can reduce your HVAC system’s efficiency by up to 30 percent. If you’ve noticed inconsistencies in airflow, uneven temperatures between rooms, or higher energy bills, a duct leak could be to blame.
Leaky ducts also allow contaminants such as dust, mold, pests, and moisture into your system, reducing indoor air quality and potentially triggering allergies or asthma.
Signs of leaky or underperforming ducts include:
- Sudden spikes in energy bills, especially during heating or cooling seasons
- Rooms that are too hot or too cold
- Flexible ducts that appear tangled or kinked
- Low airflow from vents or inconsistent temperatures
- Poorly insulated or exposed ductwork
We recommend casing your air ducts with proper insulation to help maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home and reduce energy loss.
Custom Sheet Metal Ductwork: A Chaves HVAC Advantage
What sets Chaves HVAC apart from other contractors? Our in-house sheet metal shop.
Many HVAC companies must order prefab duct sections, which can delay your project and limit installation flexibility. At Chaves HVAC, we custom-fabricate ductwork in our own shop to fit the exact needs of your home. That means fewer sharp turns, more efficient routing, and better airflow.
Our custom ductwork allows us to:
- Minimize airflow restrictions by avoiding unnecessary bends and long duct runs
- Maximize system efficiency, helping you save on monthly energy costs
- Fit tight or unusual spaces where off-the-shelf ducting simply won’t do
- Ensure a faster turnaround for installations and replacements
- Deliver a cleaner, more professional installation that lasts for years
Whether you're building a new home, expanding your living space, or replacing an older duct system, our in-house capabilities give you a level of customization—and performance—that’s hard to match.
