Signs your ducts need repair

  • One or two rooms never cool down like the rest of the house
  • Weak airflow from some vents, even with a clean filter
  • High electric bills with no change in how you use the AC
  • Dust or insulation coming out of a vent
  • Gaps or dark streaks around a ceiling register

What we repair and install

  • Torn or collapsed flex duct replaced with new insulated duct.
  • Vent boots that have pulled away from the ceiling or wall, re-secured and sealed.
  • Leaking joints and connections sealed with mastic and proper foil tape.
  • New duct and vent installation for remodels, added rooms or worn-out runs.
  • Return air problems, such as undersized or leaking returns that starve the system.

Why sealing pays off in Florida

Most Treasure Coast homes have ductwork in a hot attic. Every leak pulls in superheated, humid attic air and loses the air you already paid to cool. Sealing and repairing those leaks helps rooms cool evenly, lowers the load on your AC, and keeps attic dust and insulation out of your living space.

Duct repair pairs well with air duct cleaning: once the system is open, we can clean it and fix it in the same visit.

Fortex cleaned our dryer vent quite nicely. There was quite a bit of lint buildup, and they did a thorough job cleaning it out. The dryer seems to be getting better airflow now. Good service and easy to work with.

Had a rough experience with another air duct place last month so I was skeptical. Totally different story with Fortex Air vent Cleaning Service. Got the air quality check done and they were really thorough and they called back right away. …

So here's what happened. I'd been putting off dryer vent cleaning for way too long. Finally got to the point where I couldn't ignore it anymore. Called around to a few air duct places and most either didn't pick up or gave me a vague quote …

FAQ

Duct Repair & Installation questions

Can you repair just one bad section of duct?

Yes. If the rest of the system is in good shape, we replace only the damaged run or boot and seal the connections.

Will sealing ducts lower my electric bill?

Sealing leaks means more of your cooled air reaches the rooms, so the AC usually runs less. How much you save depends on how leaky the system was.

Do you install new ductwork?

Yes. We install new duct runs and vent boots for remodels, added rooms and worn-out systems.
