Homeowners invest heavily in energy-efficient heating and cooling units each year. However, one thing that often gets overlooked is the state of their ductwork system.
The EPA estimates that almost 30 percent of conditioned air is lost to gaps in the ductwork. That conditioned air gets lost in crawlspaces, basements, attics, or even outside. This lost air means that your HVAC system has to work even harder, driving up your energy bills and shortening the lifespan of your equipment.
Charles Stone is dedicated to helping homeowners get the most out of their HVAC systems. We offer expert ductwork system inspection, installation, replacement, upgrading, sealing, and duct cleaning services in Cookeville, Tennessee, and the surrounding Upper Cumberland region.
Duct Inspection Services
If you haven’t had your ducts inspected recently, it may be a great time to get them checked out. Our technicians will examine your ducts for proper installation, cracks, leaks, corrosion, and other issues. They check to make sure your ducts are properly sized for your HVAC units and that they are clean and working efficiently.
We use special equipment to test for small leaks that might evade visual inspection and tell us what percentage of conditioned air escapes.
Duct Repair Services
Over time, ductwork can develop cracks, leaks, or damage that compromises its ability to deliver air efficiently. Our technicians will identify the best solutions to repair the ductwork.
Small patches can be made with metal duct tape, mastic, or other sealants to ensure your air ducts are airtight. Larger repairs may require replacing parts of your ductwork with newer or higher-quality materials to ensure it will last.
Duct Sealing Services
Duct repair services can only go so far in sealing all potential cracks, gaps, and leaks. While our technicians can manually repair all the leaks they can find, sometimes older systems have many hidden sections or small, undiscernible gaps that are difficult to find and fix.
Duct sealing involves sealing off your vents and using special equipment to pressurize your duct system. We then spread an aerosolized sealant, which moves throughout the duct system and gets stuck in any openings. The sealant grabs onto any holes, leaks, or cracks and seals them.
Once the sealing process is complete, your ducts will be airtight and deliver 99.97 percent of the conditioned air they receive.
Duct Cleaning Services
Charles Stone offers duct cleaning services in Cookeville to clean out clumps of dust, debris, and any lingering odors that may be in your duct system. If airflow from your AC and furnace is impeded, it can cause those units to have to work harder than they should, which can strain their parts. Occasional duct cleaning will ensure your ducts are clean and clear.

Whether it’s a new home addition, old ductwork needs to be replaced, or you need to upgrade to larger ductwork for your new HVAC system, our duct installation specialists provide top-notch services.
