Detailed Written Report
Something is wrong but nobody can find the problem
Your HVAC system checks out fine, your filters are clean, but rooms still do not get comfortable and your energy bills keep climbing. The answer is almost always hiding inside the ductwork.
HVAC is fine but rooms are still hot
The technician says your AC unit is working perfectly. But conditioned air never reaches the far rooms. The problem is between the unit and the registers — inside the ducts
Energy bills make no sense
You have a high-efficiency system but your bills rival a building twice your size. Duct leaks silently waste 25-40% of conditioned air into walls, ceilings, and attics
Musty smells or allergy flare-ups
Mold, dust, rodent debris, and construction remnants hiding inside ducts get circulated through every room every time the system runs. You are breathing it all day
Buying a new system blindly
Before spending $15K on a new HVAC unit, you need to know if your ductwork can actually deliver. A duct inspection prevents the most expensive mistake in HVAC — a great system connected to terrible ducts
We almost replaced our entire system because two rooms would not cool. Art HVAC inspected the ducts and found a crushed flex duct and three disconnected joints in the attic. $600 fix instead of a $12,000 replacement.
INSPECTION SERVICES
See Inside Your Ducts with Precision
We use professional diagnostic equipment — not guesswork — to map exactly what is happening inside your duct system and deliver actionable findings.
Camera & Video Duct Inspection
See What Is Really Inside
We insert a high-resolution camera into your ductwork and record everything — crushed sections, disconnected joints, mold growth, debris buildup, rodent damage, and construction leftovers. You see the footage and get a detailed written report with photos.
Duct Leakage & Pressure Testing
Quantify Exactly How Much Air You Lose
We seal your duct system and pressurize it with calibrated equipment to measure total leakage as a percentage of airflow. This tells you precisely how much conditioned air — and money — you are losing through joints, connections, and gaps.
Duct Air Quality Analysis
Test What You Are Breathing
We sample air from inside your ductwork and at your registers to test for mold spores, particulate levels, and allergens. Combined with visual inspection, this tells you exactly whether your ducts are making you sick.

FAQ
Questions We Hear Every Day
Practical answers about duct inspection services.
We recommend a duct inspection if you experience uneven temperatures, unexplained high energy bills, musty odors, excessive dust, or visible mold near registers. It is also essential before buying a property, before installing a new HVAC system, and after any major renovation that may have damaged or disconnected ductwork.
A typical residential inspection takes 1-2 hours. Commercial buildings take 2-4 hours depending on the system size and number of zones. We work around your schedule and cause no disruption to your daily routine. You receive the written report within 24 hours.
ASHRAE standards recommend less than 5% leakage for commercial systems. In practice, we find that most uninspected systems in NYC have 25-40% leakage — meaning up to 40 cents of every dollar you spend on heating and cooling is being lost inside walls and ceilings. Sealing those leaks typically pays for itself within 6-12 months.
Simple issues like disconnected joints, loose connections, and small leaks can often be fixed on the spot during the inspection visit. For larger issues — crushed duct sections, mold remediation, or duct redesign — we provide a separate detailed quote. There is never any pressure to proceed.
Residential duct inspections start at $250-400 depending on system size and access. Commercial inspections range from $500-1,500 based on building complexity. If you proceed with repair work based on our findings, the inspection fee is credited toward the repair cost.
