We Install and Repair Home Ductwork
Have you looked at the ductwork (metal vents) leading out of your heater in your garage? Are they insulated? Do they have duct tape falling off of them? Do you see any visible gaps between the fittings?
Now think about the rest of your home. Have you inspected the ductwork in your attic? Right! And certainly you can’t even see whats going on between the walls of your home. Ductwork is a hidden feature of your heating and cooling system yet it is often overlooked and worse neglected over the years.
The fact is nearly 60% of the home ductwork we inspect in San Diego has moderate to severe ductwork deficiencies. This not only costs you money, but poses a high risk of spreading allergens and causing fires.
Leaking Money Out Your Ducts
Take a look at this small portion of home ductwork as seen through a thermo imagine machine. The red color depicts warm air, the white color depicts the very hot air, blue is cool air.
This particular piece of ductwork does not have any insulation around it. Heat is escaping from the top elbow and from the bottom right seam. On Avg. these types of heating or cooling leaks results in 30% of all home energy losses.
Now look at the hot white areas. This is very hot air building up in some areas and even escaping out into your home in others. Inside the ductwork an elbow created at too sharp of an angle too close to the heater could produce high temperatures. If this surface is too close to your walls or other objects you may have a fire danger. In the areas where heat is escaping from the ductwork, it is not as hot but still represents a serious fire risk as over time the areas this heat is hitting will become dry, brittle and very susceptible to catching fire.
We don’t present this information to frighten you, but we do intend on demonstrating that your ductwork serves two very important purposes; reducing energy costs and preventing fire risks. Yet, very few homeowners have this part of there systems properly installed or maintained.
Repairing ductwork and even installing new ductwork is relatively inexpensive, fast to complete, and requires very little disruption in your home. It makes a lot of sense to have the best home ductwork possible.

i had a nightmare situation with a company called TL Services. I called Paul, he came out and with in a few minutes found the issue. it was a $10.00 breaker, not a $325.00 repair that TL Services quoted. This is the company to go with.

A few years ago Paul Johnson Installed my Fujitsu Air/Heating unit in our masterbedroom by his suggestion. The unit is fantastic and is also an air filter unit as well. The installation went really well and I couldnt have been happier.
Since it's installation Paul has conducted an annual cleaning/ inspection of the unit. He is the owner and service provider and just a great and honest guy. I look forward to his annual visit and highly recommend his services and products.

I don't like strangers coming to my house! I took the recommendation of a friend to speak with Johnson Air when looking to install an air conditioning system (It was HOT this year). Paul Johnson came out and I could not have been more pleased with the results. Pleasant, honest, and a clean cut Marine who owns Johnson Air.. Nice air conditioning system is now awaiting the summer!
