Comprehensive Ductwork Services for Louisville Homes & Businesses

The hidden network of ducts within your walls and attic is the vital circulatory system of your HVAC, responsible for delivering comfortable, clean air to every room. When this system is compromised by leaks, poor design, or contamination, it leads to higher energy bills, uneven temperatures, and diminished indoor air quality. At One Choice Mechanical, we provide a full suite of professional ductwork services designed to maximize your HVAC system's efficiency, improve your comfort, and ensure the air you breathe is healthy. Since 2007, our skilled technicians have been the trusted experts for ductwork assessment, repair, replacement, and cleaning throughout Louisville, KY.

We understand that ductwork is often out of sight, but it should never be out of mind. Our comprehensive approach addresses every aspect of your duct system, from the initial inspection inside your walls and attic to the final seal on a brand-new installation. As a family-owned business, we believe in honest diagnostics, transparent pricing, and workmanship that ensures your HVAC system performs at its absolute peak, saving you money and enhancing your daily comfort.

Our Expert Ductwork Installation

Investing in new ductwork is a foundational decision that impacts your home's comfort, efficiency, and air quality for decades. Our approach to ductwork installation is meticulous and engineered for optimal performance.

Our comprehensive installation process includes:

Detailed Home Assessment & Load Calculation: Every successful ductwork project begins with a thorough evaluation of your property. Our NATE-certified technicians perform Manual J and Manual D calculations to determine your home's precise heating and cooling loads and the exact duct sizing needed. We assess room layout, insulation levels, and your HVAC unit's capacity to design a system that delivers balanced airflow and consistent comfort to every room.
Custom System Design: There is no one-size-fits-all solution. We design a custom ductwork layout that accounts for the unique architecture of your Louisville home. This includes planning the optimal placement of supply and return vents, selecting the right duct material (flexible, fiberglass, or sheet metal), and ensuring proper insulation for ducts in unconditioned spaces like attics and crawl spaces.
Professional, Code-Compliant Installation: With the design finalized, our expert team executes the installation with precision. We carefully install trunk lines and branch ducts, ensuring all connections are secure and airtight. Our work strictly adheres to local building codes and ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America) quality standards, guaranteeing a safe and highly efficient system.
Rigorous Performance Testing & Balancing: After installation, we don't just assume it works—we prove it. We perform advanced testing, including duct blaster tests, to measure leakage and ensure the system meets our strict performance criteria. We then air balance the system, adjusting dampers to guarantee that each room receives the correct amount of conditioned air, eliminating hot and cold spots for perfect comfort throughout your home.

Prompt and Effective Ductwork Repair

Over time, ducts can develop leaks, become disconnected, or get crushed, leading to significant energy loss and comfort issues. Our team is equipped to diagnose and resolve a wide array of duct problems, restoring your system's efficiency quickly.

Common ductwork issues we expertly address include:

Leaky or Poorly Sealed Ducts: The average home loses 20-30% of conditioned air through leaks and poorly sealed connections, forcing your HVAC system to work harder and driving up utility bills.
Crushed, Kinked, or Disconnected Sections: Damage from pests, storage in attics, or aging can restrict or block airflow entirely to parts of your home.
Insufficient or Damaged Insulation: Ducts running through hot attics or cold crawl spaces without proper insulation lose valuable heated or cooled air, drastically reducing system efficiency.
Improperly Sized or Designed System: Older homes often have ductwork that was never correctly sized for the space, leading to noisy operation, pressure imbalances, and uneven temperatures.

Our repair process begins with a thorough diagnostic assessment using tools like video scopes and pressure gauges to pinpoint the exact source and extent of the problem. We then provide a transparent explanation and use professional materials like mastic sealant and Aeroseal® technology to create permanent, reliable seals that restore your system to peak performance.

Proactive Duct Cleaning & Maintenance

The air moving through your ducts carries dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other allergens that accumulate over time. These contaminants are then recirculated throughout your home, affecting your health and HVAC efficiency.

The benefits of professional duct cleaning include:

Improved Indoor Air Quality: Removes the source of allergens and irritants, creating a healthier environment for families, especially those with allergies or asthma.
Enhanced HVAC Efficiency: Buildups of dust and debris force your blower motor to work harder, increasing energy consumption and wear on the system.
Elimination of Unpleasant Odors: Removes sources of musty smells caused by mold, mildew, or pest debris within the ducts.
Extended HVAC System Lifespan: Reducing strain on the blower motor and keeping components clean helps prevent premature breakdowns.

Our cleaning service uses powerful, truck-mounted HEPA vacuum units and agitation tools to deeply clean the entire length of your duct system. We recommend duct cleaning every 3-5 years, or more frequently if you have pets, smokers, or have recently completed a renovation.
