FAQs
Ductwork Installation questions
How long does ductwork installation take?
It depends on the scope — a single addition may take a day or two, while a whole-home installation takes longer. A pre-installation review helps estimate the timeline for your project.
Do new ducts need to be insulated?
Ducts running through unconditioned spaces like attics or crawlspaces are typically insulated to avoid losing heated or cooled air along the way. We review insulation as part of the installation plan.
