We’ve been driving out to Burnet from our Houston headquarters for years, and we know the territory.

Our Duct Repair & Sealing Services in Burnet
Duct Sealing
Leaky ducts can waste 20-30% of your conditioned air before it reaches your rooms. In Burnet, where summer cooling loads are heavy and winter heating runs hard during cedar season, that’s money lost every month. We seal joints and connections with professional-grade mastic sealant, not the tape that dries and fails in attic heat. Our process includes a camera inspection before and after, so you see the difference. A typical duct sealing job in Burnet runs $280-$450 for a single-system home.
Flex Duct Repair
Flex duct is common in Burnet’s manufactured homes and in attic retrofits on older ranch properties. It sags, it tears at connections, and it pulls loose from registers - especially after years of vibration and temperature cycling. We repair or replace damaged flex runs with properly supported, sealed sections. For a standard flex duct repair in Burnet, expect $180-$340. We also clean the replacement section with Rotobrush equipment before installation so you’re not connecting new ductwork to old contamination.
Metal Duct Repair
The metal ductwork in Burnet’s 1970s-1980s ranch homes was built to last, but joints can separate as foundations settle on the Hill Country’s limestone and caliche soils. When metal ducts pull apart, they draw in unfiltered crawlspace or attic air loaded with limestone dust and cedar pollen. We reseat separated joints, repair corroded sections, and seal with mastic for a permanent fix. Metal duct repair in Burnet typically ranges from $220-$480 depending on accessibility and extent of damage.
Duct Insulation
Uninsulated or deteriorated duct insulation in Burnet attics leads to condensation during humid periods and heat loss during temperature swings. We install foil-faced insulation rated for the temperature extremes of Hill Country attics, sealed at all seams. Proper insulation also prevents the temperature differentials that cause flex duct to sag and fail prematurely. Duct insulation work in Burnet generally runs $250-$550.

Trusted Brands We Service in Burnet
We equip our trucks with professional-grade products from Rotobrush, Honeywell, and Aprilaire - the same brands serious HVAC contractors specify for durable, long-lasting results. For Burnet customers, this means we don’t need to order parts and make you wait. Our Rotobrush cleaning systems prepare replacement duct sections before installation. Honeywell and Aprilaire air quality components integrate with sealed duct systems to maintain what we fixed. We stock mastic sealant, flex duct, insulation, and repair sleeves sized for the residential systems common in Burnet’s ranch and manufactured housing stock.
Common Duct Repair & Sealing Problems We See in Burnet Homes
- Flex duct sags and disconnects in manufactured home attics. The lightweight construction and long spans in Burnet’s mobile and manufactured housing let flex duct droop over time, creating gaps that pull in unfiltered attic air heavy with cedar pollen and limestone dust. We re-support and reseal these runs with mastic.
- Metal duct joints separate in ranch-style homes from the 1970s. Soil settling on Burnet’s thin limestone-over-caliche soils shifts foundations gradually, and that movement works metal duct joints loose. The result is dust suction from crawlspaces and inconsistent airflow to rooms.
- Lake-area vacation properties develop mold in dormant flex ducts. Homes near Inks Lake and Lake Buchanan that sit empty through winter accumulate moisture in unconditioned ductwork. When owners return and start the AC, mold spores blast through unsealed connections into living spaces. We clean, repair, and seal these systems before you move back in.
- Return-air intakes pull in extreme particulate loads during dry seasons. Burnet’s position in the Llano Uplift means fine limestone dust and cedar pollen enter duct systems at rates higher than flatland Texas cities. Sealed ducts with intact filtration are essential, not optional.

FAQs - Duct Repair & Sealing in Burnet
Schedule duct sealing before you occupy the property, ideally in late March or early April after cedar season ends. Lake homes that sat empty all winter accumulated cedar pollen and possibly mold in dormant ductwork, and starting the AC without inspection blasts those contaminants into your living space. We camera-inspect the system, clean if needed, seal all joints with mastic, and verify the results so you move into clean air. Call (866) 347-2063 to book before your first stay - estimates are free.
Your metal duct joints have likely separated due to foundation settling common on Burnet’s limestone soils. When joints pull apart, the return side creates negative pressure that draws unfiltered crawlspace or attic air directly into your system, carrying limestone dust and cedar pollen. We reseat the joints, repair any corroded sections, and seal with mastic for a permanent fix. Most metal duct repairs on 1431-area ranches run $220-$480 and are done in one visit. Call for a free evaluation.
We focus on residential duct repair and sealing for homes, not outbuildings or garage doors. If your workshop has a separate HVAC system or ductwork tied to your main house, we can evaluate and seal those ducts. Standalone structures without integrated duct systems fall outside our scope. Call (866) 347-2063 and describe the setup - we’ll tell you straight if it’s a fit.
Yes. Flex duct sagging and disconnection is one of the most common calls we get in Burnet’s manufactured housing. We re-support the runs, replace torn or collapsed sections with Rotobrush-cleaned new flex duct, and seal all connections with mastic. A typical mobile home flex duct repair in Burnet costs $180-$340. The work usually takes two to three hours, and we verify with camera inspection before we leave. Call for a free estimate.
Yes. Duct systems in unoccupied Burnet lake homes accumulate moisture, dust, and cedar pollen through the winter. When dormant, flex duct can develop mold and connections can loosen from thermal cycling. Starting the AC without inspection forces those contaminants through every room. We recommend a pre-occupancy camera inspection, cleaning if contamination is present, and sealing of any gaps or disconnected joints. The $89 seasonal tune-up covers evaluation; repairs are quoted upfront if needed. Call (866) 347-2063 to schedule before your spring return.
