Air Ducts & Vents

New Ductwork Installation in Jersey City

Adding central air to a brownstone, finishing an attic, or gutting a floor? A properly designed duct system is what makes new equipment actually deliver comfort.

Large insulated metal ducts installed in a building

Designed, Sized & Installed for Jersey City homes

Many Jersey City homes were built for radiators and never had ductwork at all. Others have systems that were extended room by room over the decades until nothing is balanced. Undersized or poorly laid-out ducts make even an expensive new air handler noisy and ineffective.

We lay out the system starting from each room's heating and cooling needs, size trunks and branches to match, and route them to fit around joists, stairwells and plaster walls with as little disruption as possible. Every joint is sealed and ducts in unconditioned spaces are insulated. We coordinate with your HVAC installer or general contractor so the work lines up with the rest of the project.

Signs it's time to call

  • Converting from radiators or window units to central air
  • Building an addition or finishing an attic or basement
  • Gut renovation where walls and ceilings are open
  • An existing system that has never kept the house comfortable
  • Replacing equipment and want ductwork that matches it

How we do it

  1. On-site walkthrough and room-by-room airflow planning
  2. Layout drawing with register locations and duct routes
  3. Fabrication and installation of trunks, branches and returns
  4. All joints sealed; ducts in unconditioned areas insulated
  5. Registers installed, system balanced and airflow verified

What you get

FAQ

New Ductwork Installation questions, answered

Can you install ductwork in a house with plaster walls?

Yes. We plan routes through closets, chases, attics and basements to minimize openings in finished plaster. Where a wall or ceiling must be opened, we keep it as small as possible and coordinate patching.

Do you install the furnace or AC as well?

We focus on the duct system itself and work alongside your HVAC equipment installer. If you don't have one, we can recommend licensed HVAC partners.

Is a permit needed for new ductwork?

New duct systems are typically part of a mechanical permit for the overall HVAC project. We'll work with whoever holds the permit and provide what the inspector needs.

How do I get a price?

New systems are quoted after a free on-site visit, because routes and access vary so much from building to building. You'll get a written, itemized estimate.
