Duct and Vent Installation in Lititz, PA, and Surrounding Areas

There are several reasons a homeowner needs duct and vent installation. They may be building a new home, remodeling their existing home, or updating their HVAC system.

Ducts and vents are vital components of the HVAC system as they are the tracks air uses to move throughout the home. A reputable company must perform this service to ensure ample airflow to keep the house comfortable all year.

Factors that Influence the Cost of Duct and Vent Installation

  1. Location: Prepare a sufficient budget if the area for installation will be difficult to reach. A technician may charge more if reaching the location in the attic, basement, or crawlspace is complicated.

  2. House size: The size of the house varies, so it follows that bigger homes will require additional ducting and more vents so that the air flows adequately throughout the home. Since larger homes require more materials, the labor rate and material costs will be higher.

  3. Additional services and materials: A technician needing to remove existing ducting, cut holes for vents and returns, or replace vent covers will charge for these additional services.

Common Causes of Duct and Vent Problems

There are several reasons homeowners have problems with their HVAC ducts and vents. The most common include:

  • Incorrect installation:

  • Animal intrusion:

    Animals such as mice, rats, and squirrels can infiltrate an attic space and chew on pipes, ducts, or wiring. These rodents cause damage that leads to system leaks and system inefficiency.

  • Water damage:

    A leak in the roof or the HVAC system can damage ducts and vents. An expert technician can assist a homeowner in identifying the problem, repairing the system, and replacing ducts or vents that are beyond repair.
