Duct Repair and Replacement in Burlington, VT
Unless a home relies entirely on a ductless heating and cooling system or a radiant heating system, it has ductwork in its walls. These air channels are responsible for transporting the conditioned air from the heat pump, furnace, or AC to the various rooms. Because of the amount of stress placed on these ducts, especially during a Northwest Vermont/Northeast New York winter, they can develop leaks, breaks, and other damage. Poorly installed ducts often end up creating problems as well.
At some point you may find it necessary to have repairs done for your ducts, or even complete replacements. This requires the specialized skills of HVAC technicians. If you live in Burlington, VT or the surrounding areas, the people to call for the job are at Red Rock Mechanical, LLC. We’re a small, family-owned company focused on customer satisfaction and always doing the best job possible.
I have made a very good investment and appreciate your guiding me to a furnace that fits my needs.

How to Tell You May Need Duct Repairs
This is always the trickiest part, because you can’t see your ductwork easily. Most of it is hidden behind walls in the attic and the ceilings. To figure out that you have damaged ducts, you must pay attention for a number of warning signs, such as the following.
- Uneven heating and cooling: When you notice that rooms in winter are colder than they should be, or that there are hot spots in rooms during the summer, it’s possible that damaged ducts are responsible. If your heater or AC seems to be outwardly running fine, we recommend scheduling service from our team to look into the ducts.
- Rising energy bills: Duct trouble of any type will make the job of the blower fan in the HVAC system harder. The result will be a noticeable rise in heating and cooling bills that you can’t account for. The strain on the fan may even cause circuit breakers to trip.
- Poor air quality: Are you finding a major dust invasion in your house? Vacuuming and sweeping seeming to be a losing battle? This may be due to broken ducts pulling in dust and dirt from closed–in places in the house. This can be unhealthy for your family, so have the ductwork fixed as soon as possible.
- Rattling sounds: When the heater or air conditioner comes on, the sound of metallic rattling is a major warning that the ducts are loose or damaged.
When Duct Replacement May Be Necessary
