Duct Check Included
We inspect your ducts at every free estimate. Old flex duct can leak up to 30 percent of cool air before it reaches your rooms. A new unit will not perform if the ducts are failing. We flag problems before the new unit goes in.

Why the Duct Check Matters in Citrus Heights
Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often have original metal duct with loose joints. Homes built in the 1980s may have flex duct that has sagged or split over time. Either way, a new high-SEER unit will waste energy if air leaks out before it reaches your rooms.
Fresh Air checks duct condition at every estimate. If we find leaks or undersized runs, we tell you what it will cost to fix them. We do not just swap the outdoor unit and leave you with the same hot spots you had before. A proper AC swap in Citrus Heights means the whole delivery system works.
