Signs of a duct or airflow problem
Uneven temperatures, low airflow at several vents, whistling, rattling, damaged flex duct and rooms that never catch up are all reasons to look beyond the thermostat.
The issue may involve duct condition, layout, restrictions, leakage, equipment operation or more than one factor.
Follow the air from the equipment to the room
KOLD examines accessible supply and return ductwork, connections and the equipment conditions related to airflow. The goal is to identify what is limiting comfort before recommending repairs or changes.
Duct repair and replacement
The right solution depends on what is damaged and how much of the system is affected. A focused repair may make sense; deteriorated or poorly arranged sections may call for replacement. KOLD explains the recommended work for the accessible system.
Include ductwork in replacement planning
New heating and cooling equipment should not be connected to problem ductwork without a conversation. Airflow and distribution are part of making the new system work for the house.

Common questions
Does a hot room always mean the duct is bad?
No. Equipment operation, insulation, sun exposure, air leakage and duct layout can all affect room comfort. Diagnosis comes first.
Do you offer duct cleaning?
Contact KOLD with the concern you are trying to solve. Cleaning, repair and airflow correction are different services and should not be treated as interchangeable.
