HVAC Duct Sealing - Collinsville's Professional HVAC Repair

Often, the need for frequent repairs can be traced back to an overworked system. Leaky ducts force your furnace or air conditioner to run longer and harder to maintain temperature, putting extra strain on components like the fan motor and compressor. By properly sealing your ductwork first, we can reduce the overall workload on your HVAC system, which can prevent premature failures and extend the life of your equipment, potentially reducing future repair needs.

Yes, outdoor fan motor failures are a frequent issue for Collinsville homeowners, especially during our hot, humid summers. The constant strain of cooling, combined with dust and debris from our environment, can cause these motors to wear out or overheat. While we specialize in duct sealing to improve system efficiency, we can also diagnose and repair fan motor issues. A more efficient system from sealed ducts can also help reduce the runtime and strain on that outdoor unit, contributing to its longevity.

An evaporator coil freeze-up is a sign that your system is out of balance, often due to restricted airflow or a refrigerant issue. In Collinsville, this problem can worsen with our humidity. First, turn your system to the 'fan only' setting to let the ice melt—never try to chip it off. Then, give us a call. While a freeze-up might indicate a need for repair, it can also be caused by something as fundamental as leaky ducts pulling in humid, unconditioned air from your attic or crawlspace, overloading the coil. We'll diagnose the true cause to get your cooling back on track.
