Air Duct Installation and Repair Services in Abington, Norfolk County and Plymouth County
Hidden behind walls and above ceilings, your ductwork forms the circulatory system of your home's comfort systems, yet it often goes unnoticed until problems arise. Damaged, poorly designed, or deteriorating ducts can waste up to 30 percent of your HVAC system's output, driving up energy bills while leaving rooms uncomfortably cold or hot.
South Shore Mechanical offers comprehensive ductwork solutions for local homes and businesses, ranging from minor repairs to complete system installations. Our technicians can identify airflow problems, seal leaks, optimize duct layouts, and add new ductwork where needed to balance your system's performance. With proper ductwork, your heater and air conditioner can operate as intended, your air quality can improve, and you can enjoy consistent comfort in every corner of your home.
If you’ve been noticing uneven temperatures or high energy costs, call South Shore Mechanical at (781) 518-5407 to request a same-day air duct evaluation!

Signs that Your Ducts Need Repairs
Ductwork problems usually develop gradually, often flying under the radar until the symptoms become too obvious to ignore. Recognizing these warning signs early helps you address issues before they worsen or damage your HVAC equipment.
Call our air duct repair and replacement technicians if you’ve spotted warning signs like:
- Uneven room temperatures. When certain rooms stay significantly warmer or cooler than others despite thermostat settings, disconnected ducts, crushed sections, or severe leaks could be preventing proper airflow distribution to those spaces.
- Whistling or rattling sounds. Unusual noises coming from walls or ceilings during heating or cooling cycles could indicate loose connections, damaged duct sections, or gaps where air escapes under pressure as your system operates.
- Visible damage or disconnections. Ducts in accessible areas like basements or attics may show obvious tears, holes, rust, disconnected joints, or sections hanging loose from their supports that compromise system performance.
- A persistent dust problem. Excessive dust accumulation on surfaces shortly after cleaning suggests leaky return ducts, which can pull in contaminants from attics, crawl spaces, or wall cavities instead of recirculating filtered indoor air.
- Musty smells when your HVAC system runs. Unpleasant smells emerging from vents when your HVAC system activates often trace back to moisture infiltration through duct leaks, creating conditions where mold and mildew flourish in the dark, damp ductwork.
- Unexplained energy bill increases. Rising heating and cooling costs without corresponding changes in weather or usage patterns frequently indicate that your conditioned air is escaping through duct breaches before reaching your living spaces.
If you've noticed any of these issues, a professional ductwork evaluation from South Shore Mechanical can pinpoint the problems and restore your system's efficiency.
Adding New Air Ducts to Your Home
There are a lot of practical reasons to install additional air ducts, from finishing basements and attics to improving comfort in existing spaces. Room additions and converted areas need proper heating and cooling connections to match the rest of your home, requiring carefully planned duct extensions that maintain balanced airflow throughout the system. Some homes have rooms that were never adequately served by the original ductwork design, leaving them perpetually too hot or too cold. Adding dedicated supply and return ducts solves these long-standing comfort problems.
Our team can evaluate your HVAC system's capacity to handle additional ductwork, calculate proper sizing for new runs, and integrate them seamlessly with existing infrastructure. We consider factors like distance from the main unit, insulation requirements, and optimal vent placement to deliver consistent performance. Professional installation is crucial because incorrectly sized or poorly routed ducts can strain your equipment, waste energy, and fail to provide the comfort you're seeking.
