Duct Work Design & Service in Denver, NC and Surrounding Lake Norman Area
The ductwork in your heating and cooling system is a key element of an efficient HVAC system. Whether you have existing air ducts or need ducting installed for a new forced air HVAC system, it's important that your air ducts are properly sized and cared for.
Since 1984, Lakeside Heating & Air Conditioning has provided quality ductwork design and service as part of the HVAC services we offer to Lake Norman residents. We believe that fabricating our ductwork provides you greater assurance that your HVAC installation will be done professionally and efficiently.
Custom Duct Work Design
Each time your air conditioner, heat pump or furnace operates, it picks up the conditioned air and spreads it throughout your home or business via a system of air ducts. If the air doesn't flow properly through your ducts, your HVAC system won't function at its peak capacity. When your ducts are properly designed, manufactured and fitted, you have an efficient HVAC system that maintains proper airflow. At Lakeside Heating & Air Conditioning, we custom design and fabricate our ductwork for a variety of applications:
- Residential
- Commercial
- Replacing old and inefficient air ducts
- Improving existing air ducts
- Adding HVAC systems to existing buildings
- HVAC installations for new construction
Duct Work Service
It doesn't matter how efficient your air conditioner and furnace are if your duct system isn't correctly sized. If your system is too small, your system cannot push enough air through the ducts to properly heat and cool your home; if your air ducts are too large, the air simply fills the ducts and doesn't move efficiently through the system. Both problems cause your HVAC system to work harder.
Leaky air ducts also cause your HVAC system to work harder than it should. Leaky ductwork raises your fuel bills because the conditioned air seeps out of the ducts before reaching the individual rooms in your home; this results in the tendency to turn up the thermostat to get the rooms to the desired temperature. Leaky air ducts may also account for poor indoor air quality, because air holes suck in pollutants from the outside which get circulated along with the conditioned air.

Ductwork FAQs
If the damage is limited to a few loose joints or a small leak, repair usually gets the job done. But if the ductwork is old, undersized for your system, or has multiple problem spots, replacement tends to be the better long-term fix. A technician can take a look and tell you honestly which situation you're in.
Our technicians can find out where the system is losing air, whether that's a loose joint, a small hole, or a disconnected section, and seal or rebuild that part of the run. You'll get a clear picture of what was found before any work starts.
Higher than expected energy bills, rooms that never seem to get comfortable, and dustier air than normal are all common red flags. If you're cranking the thermostat and still not getting the results you want, leaky ducts are worth ruling out.
Yes, that is a common request that we get. We'll design the ductwork to tie into your existing system, so the new space gets heated and cooled the same as the rest of the house, not as an afterthought.
It's worth having a technician look at your ductwork any time they're out for a maintenance visit, so roughly once or twice a year. That way, small leaks or loose connections get caught before they turn into a bigger energy bill.
