Bowman’s Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning, & Electrical Inc. provides a variety of different ventilation/duct work services, including repairs and installations.
We Also Do Air Duct Cleaning!
It is recommended to have your air ducts cleaned roughly every 5 years. This will cut down on the amount of bacteria and mold within the system. People moving into a different home should have their air ducts cleaned, unless it was done by previous owner. After remodeling projects, it is wise to have your air ducts cleaned to remove any saw dust and/or drywall dust.
And we do Dryer Vent Cleanings too!
The dryer is an appliance we typically use daily. The vent gets restricted with lint that passes through the lint trap. Cleaning this vent will improve your drying time saving you money on electrical costs and can reduce the risk of a vent fires.
(If you have your ductwork cleaned and your dryer vent done at the same time, ask us about potential discounts!)
FAQ
How do I know if my ductwork is leaking or damaged?
Common signs include uneven temperatures, weak airflow from certain vents, higher-than-normal energy bills, and excessive dust in the home. You may also notice whistling noises, rattling ducts, or hot/cold spots near attic or crawlspace runs.
What are the signs my ducts need cleaning versus sealing or replacement?
Cleaning is most helpful when you see heavy dust buildup, debris, or odor-causing contamination in the ducts, especially after construction or if vents blow visible dust. Sealing or replacement is more likely needed when you have persistent comfort issues, suspected leaks, damaged/loose connections, crushed duct sections, or old ductwork that’s poorly sized or deteriorating.
Do I need ductwork changes when installing a new HVAC system?
Sometimes, especially if the existing ducts are undersized, leaking, or poorly balanced, since new equipment can’t perform well without proper airflow. A good installer will verify duct sizing, static pressure, and return air before recommending changes.
