Fix Airflow Problems at the Source

Duct installation, sealing, and repair services for homes in Katy, Texas

Ductwork in Katy homes can develop leaks, disconnections, or damage over time, leading to uneven temperatures, higher energy bills, and reduced comfort in certain rooms. You may feel weak airflow from some vents, notice rooms that never reach the temperature you set, or hear rattling and vibration when the system runs. Arktikos AC and Heating handles duct installation for new construction and remodels, as well as repair and sealing of existing systems that have developed leaks or airflow imbalances.

Duct service includes sealing gaps and joints where conditioned air escapes into attics or wall cavities, replacing damaged or crushed sections that restrict airflow, and balancing the system so every room receives the right amount of heated or cooled air. In larger Texas homes, properly installed and sealed ductwork is critical for HVAC efficiency and consistent indoor comfort. New duct installation is often needed when adding square footage, replacing an HVAC system, or correcting poorly designed layouts from previous work.

If you are dealing with uneven temperatures or high energy costs in your Katy home, contact Arktikos AC and Heating to schedule a duct inspection and discuss repair or installation options.

What Happens During Duct Repair or Installation

Duct work in Katy starts with an inspection of the entire system to locate leaks, measure airflow at each vent, and identify sections that are undersized, damaged, or disconnected. Technicians use mastic sealant, metal-backed tape, or clamps to seal leaks at joints and seams, and replace sections that are crushed, torn, or corroded. For new installations, ducts are sized based on the HVAC system capacity and the layout of your home to ensure balanced airflow.

After duct repair or installation, rooms that were previously too hot or too cold will reach your set temperature more quickly and stay comfortable. You will feel stronger, more consistent airflow from every vent, and your HVAC system will not have to run as long to maintain the temperature you want. Energy waste from leaking ducts is eliminated, which often results in lower utility bills.

This service does not include HVAC equipment replacement, insulation upgrades, or duct cleaning unless those are added separately. If the ductwork layout needs major redesign due to poor original installation, that will be discussed and estimated before work begins. The focus is on restoring or installing a duct system that supports efficient, reliable performance from your heating and cooling equipment.

What to expect before booking duct service

Here are answers to questions homeowners commonly ask about duct repair, installation timelines, and how to tell if ductwork is affecting comfort.

How do I know if my ductwork needs repair?
Uneven temperatures between rooms, weak airflow from certain vents, higher than normal energy bills, and visible gaps or damage in accessible duct sections are all signs that repair may be needed. A technician can inspect the system and confirm where leaks or restrictions are located.
How long does duct repair or installation take?
Most duct sealing and repair work in Katy is completed in one day. Full duct installation for a remodel or new system can take one to three days depending on the size of the home and complexity of the layout.
What materials are used to seal duct leaks?
Mastic sealant is the most durable option for sealing joints and seams. Metal-backed tape or mechanical fasteners are also used depending on the location and type of duct. Standard duct tape is not used because it fails over time.
Will duct repair improve my HVAC efficiency?
Sealing leaks and balancing airflow reduces the amount of conditioned air that escapes into unconditioned spaces, which means your system does not have to work as hard to maintain your set temperature. This typically results in lower energy use and longer equipment life.
When is new duct installation necessary instead of repair?
New installation is needed when ductwork is severely damaged, undersized for your current HVAC system, or poorly designed in a way that cannot be corrected with repairs alone. Arktikos AC and Heating will inspect your system and recommend the most cost-effective solution based on what is found.

Ductwork problems often go unnoticed until comfort issues become hard to ignore, but addressing them early prevents wasted energy and improves how your entire HVAC system performs. Arktikos AC and Heating provides duct installation and repair throughout Katy with clear explanations and upfront pricing. Reach out to schedule an inspection or ask questions about your duct system.
