Duct Setup for Elk Grove Homes
New ducts or a retrofit in an older Elk Grove home both need proper code work. California Title-24 rules require duct sealing and a HERS test on most jobs. Fresh Air handles the permit, the sealing, and the test. We have set up ducts in the Sacramento area since 2009 and are CSLB-licensed (#945361).
Retrofit for Older Homes
Many Elk Grove homes built before 1990 have ducts that leak or are too small. We assess the old system and design a retrofit that fits your layout and budget.
Title-24 Compliance
All duct work in California must meet Title-24 energy rules. Fresh Air knows the code and manages the HERS rater visit so your permit closes without delays.
What the Duct Setup Includes
- Full duct plan or retrofit design for your home.

New vs. Retrofit in Elk Grove
New construction in Elk Grove needs a full duct plan before the permit is issued. A HERS rater must verify duct sealing and airflow after the job is done. Fresh Air works with your builder or handles the full scope on its own. We know what the county wants to see at each stage.
Retrofit jobs in older Elk Grove homes vary a lot. Some just need a seal and a test. Others need new runs to rooms that never got enough air. Fresh Air assesses the full system at your free estimate and gives you a clear plan and price.
