Satisfaction Guaranteed
"I highly recommend L.C. Heating/Cooling and contractor Louie Candelaria. He was contracted to install a new furnace, replace duct work and electrical wiring. Cost was lower than several other companies I obtained estimates for. Workers arrived on time and laid materials on the floor to prevent scratching and keep the area clean. All work was accomplished in a timely manner. All questions were answered to our satisfaction. I am very satisfied with the quality of their work and plan to rehire them for an A/C installation in the future."

"There was a burning smell coming off my furnace, so I turned it off. Since I'm new to the area I googled Furnace Repair business and LC Heating and Cooling came up. I called and they answered the phone right away. I told him what was going on and he said to text me my address and he came within the hour. Louie was amazing and I am so grateful for all of his help and understanding. He answered all of my questions without judgement or ridicule, which unfortunately happens to me a lot since I am an older woman. I really appreciate all that did for me, he is very professional and is worth every penny."

Tony C.
"As new home owners in Albuquerque, we wanted our air conditioner looked at. Other companies charged a fee for an estimate and appointments were needed. Louie Candelaria with LC Heating & Cooling LLC came out at no charge the same day. From the beginning my encounter with the company owner was like seeing an old friend yet very professional. Mr. Candelaria explained what service was needed in a form that I could understand... We will definitely call again."

Signs Your Albuquerque Home Needs Ductwork Service
While your ducts are mostly hidden, they often show clear signs when they're failing. If you notice any of these issues, it's time for a professional ductwork inspection.
Hot & Cold Spots
Uneven temperatures in different rooms often point to leaks or poorly balanced duct runs. We'll identify the airflow restriction and ensure consistent comfort everywhere.
Excessive Dust
Leaky return ducts can pull in dust from attics and crawlspaces, spreading it throughout your home. We seal these gaps to improve your indoor air quality significantly.
Noisy Ductwork
Rattling or whistling sounds suggest loose connections or undersized ducts. Our technicians can stabilize and resize your ductwork for quieter, more efficient operation.
High Utility Bills
If your ducts are leaking, you're paying to heat and cool your attic or crawlspace. Professional duct sealing can provide a significant ROI by lowering your energy costs.
Mold or Musty Smells
Leaks in ductwork can allow moisture to enter, leading to mold growth. We'll identify the source of the smell and repair the ducts to protect your family's health.
Visible Duct Damage
Crushed, disconnected, or rusted ducts are common in older homes. We provide expert repair and replacement of damaged sections to restore your system's integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Albuquerque Ductwork Services: Common Questions Answered
Contact Us
How do I know if my home's ductwork is leaking?
Can leaky ducts really increase my energy bills?
Absolutely. According to ENERGY STAR, the average home loses 20-30% of the air moving through the duct system due to leaks and poor connections. Sealing these leaks ensures you're only paying to heat and cool your living space, not your attic.
Is duct sealing better than replacing my ductwork?
It depends on the condition and age of your ducts. If your ducts are generally in good shape but have leaks at the joints, sealing is a very cost-effective solution. However, if the ducts are undersized, crushed, or severely deteriorated, replacement is the better long-term investment.
How long do ductwork repairs typically take?
Minor repairs and sealing of accessible ducts can often be completed in a few hours. A full ductwork replacement for a standard Albuquerque home usually takes 1 to 2 days, depending on the complexity of the home's layout.
Will new ductwork improve my home's air quality?
Yes. Properly sealed and clean ductwork prevents dust, insulation fibers, and outdoor pollutants from being sucked into your HVAC system and blown into your home. This leads to a significant reduction in airborne allergens and a cleaner indoor environment.
Do you provide custom ductwork for new additions?
Yes. We specialize in designing and installing custom duct runs for home additions, attic conversions, and remodels. We'll ensure the new ductwork is perfectly integrated with your existing HVAC system for balanced airflow.
