Coquitlam Ductwork & Sheet Metal: Fix the Hidden Efficiency Problem
Leaky, aging ductwork in Coquitlam's established homes wastes up to 30% of heating and cooling energy. Professional duct replacement and sealing restores system performance.
Why Coquitlam Homes Need Ductwork Attention
Coquitlam's 1970s-1990s homes in Ranch Park, Eagle Ridge, and Harbour Chines were built with ductwork that's now 30-50 years old. Over time, duct joints separate, tape deteriorates, and insulation degrades - creating leaks that waste up to 30% of your heating and cooling energy. Your furnace or heat pump may be perfectly efficient, but if the ducts are leaking, you're paying to heat your crawlspace.
Coquitlam's multi-level homes are particularly affected. Ductwork routed through crawlspaces and between floors is harder to access and inspect, meaning problems often go unnoticed for years. Common symptoms include rooms that are always too hot or cold, excessive dust from vents, and HVAC systems that run constantly without reaching thermostat targets.
For renovations and additions - a booming segment in Coquitlam - custom ductwork extends HVAC to new spaces. Whether you're finishing a basement, adding a room over the garage, or converting a space for a secondary suite, proper duct design ensures the new space gets adequate airflow.

Signs include: rooms that don't heat or cool properly despite thermostat settings, visible duct damage in crawlspace or attic, excessive dust from vents, unusual odours from the HVAC system, and energy bills higher than similar homes. If your home was built before 1990, a duct inspection is worth the investment.
It depends on the duct condition. If the main trunk lines are intact and properly sized, targeted sealing and insulation ($1,000-$3,000) can recover most of the lost efficiency. If ducts are heavily corroded, damaged, or undersized, full replacement ($3,000-$8,000) is the better long-term solution.
Yes. We can extend existing ductwork to serve a basement suite or design a separate duct system if the main furnace has enough capacity. If the existing system can't handle the additional load, a ductless mini-split for the suite may be more practical.
