A closer look
Customers often blame the HVAC unit when the ducts are the problem. Inspecting and showing photos of crushed or disconnected ducts builds trust and avoids unnecessary equipment sales.
Where to start
Add a duct inspection to every comfort complaint call.
An example
An HVAC company found disconnected ducts in an attic. Fixing them solved a hot bedroom without replacing the system.
Know your numbers
Track duct inspections, repairs and replacements.
A message that works
"The upstairs duct is disconnected in the attic. Reconnecting and sealing will fix the airflow."
Common mistakes
Selling a new unit first, no photos and skipping the attic.
Pricing tip
Offer options: sealing and repair of the worst sections, partial replacement or a full new duct system. Customers appreciate choosing based on budget and comfort goals.
