Ductwork

At Gillette Services - Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, we specialize in designing, installing, repairing, and maintaining ductwork systems that maximize efficiency and ensure consistent comfort. As your homegrown service pros, we bring expertise and dedication to every project we take on across the Spanish Fork, UT & the surrounding areas.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average home loses approximately 20 to 30 percent of the air that moves through its duct system due to leaks, poorly sealed connections, and inadequate insulation. That means nearly a third of the energy you pay for could be wasted before it ever reaches your living spaces. We are committed to helping homeowners and businesses eliminate this waste through comprehensive ductwork solutions tailored to each property’s unique layout and demands.

Ductwork Design and Installation

Proper ductwork design is the foundation of an efficient HVAC system. We use Manual D calculations, an industry-standard methodology established by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America, to determine the correct duct sizing, layout, and airflow distribution for every installation. This process accounts for factors such as the square footage of your home, the number of rooms, ceiling heights, insulation levels, and the capacity of your heating and cooling equipment. A system designed without these calculations can result in uneven temperatures, excessive noise, and premature equipment failure.

Our installation teams work with a variety of ductwork materials depending on the application. Sheet metal ducts offer superior durability and resistance to mold growth, making them ideal for long-term installations. Flexible ducts provide versatility in tight spaces where rigid metal cannot be routed easily. We also install fiberglass duct board systems where additional sound attenuation and thermal insulation are priorities. Every connection is sealed with mastic sealant or metal-backed tape to prevent air leakage, ensuring your system performs at peak efficiency from day one.

Duct Repair and Sealing

Over time, ductwork can develop problems that compromise your system’s performance. Common issues include disconnected joints, crushed flexible ducts, corrosion in older metal systems, and deteriorating insulation. These problems not only reduce efficiency but can also introduce dust, allergens, and even harmful pollutants into your breathing air. We offer fast response times and take responsibility in our work, diagnosing issues quickly and implementing lasting repairs.

Our duct sealing process involves a thorough inspection using diagnostic tools such as duct blasters, which pressurize the system to identify and measure leakage points. Once we locate the problem areas, we seal them using industry-approved materials that maintain their integrity for years. Homeowners in Mapleton, Orem, Payson, Provo, Salem, Santaquin, Spanish Fork & Springville, UT have found that professional duct sealing can reduce energy bills by up to 20 percent while significantly improving indoor air quality.

Signs You Need Ductwork Service

Many homeowners are unsure when their ductwork needs attention. We encourage you to watch for these common indicators:

• Uneven temperatures throughout your home, where some rooms feel significantly warmer or cooler than others despite thermostat adjustments
• Excessive dust accumulation on furniture and surfaces even after regular cleaning, which often signals leaks pulling in attic or crawlspace debris
• Unusually high energy bills that have increased without a corresponding change in usage habits or utility rates
• Visible damage or aging such as sagging flexible ducts, rusted metal sections, or disconnected joints in accessible areas
