Fast, Reliable Air Duct Repair Across Clovis
Air duct repair in Clovis typically runs $280 – $650 for most joint resealing and flex-duct patching jobs, while full duct replacement in a single-story tract home usually lands between $1,800 and $3,400 depending on how many runs we’re replacing. Most Clovis repair calls we handle are done in one visit. If you’ve noticed rooms that never quite cool down, dust settling on furniture within days of cleaning, or a whistle coming from a ceiling register, the problem is usually in the ductwork itself, not the HVAC unit. We serve homeowners throughout Clovis, from Harlan Ranch to the neighborhoods east of Clovis Avenue. Call (559) 272-4989 and we’ll schedule a time that works.
Why Linden Air Duct Fresno Is Clovis’s Preferred Air Duct Repair Company
We’ve worked in enough Clovis attics to know exactly what the summer does to ductwork here. Homes off Fowler Avenue, neighborhoods near Sierra Vista Mall, the newer subdivisions north of Shepherd Avenue: the failure patterns are consistent, which means we diagnose faster and fix more precisely. Clovis homeowners tell us the same thing over and over: they want to know who’s walking through the door. That’s the reason we send the technician’s name and photo before the visit, and that tech shows a photo ID badge at the door. Every time. Marcus Veale leads our crew, and he holds every job to the same standard: the written price gets agreed to before any work starts, and the repair carries a written 365-day guarantee. If a covered repair fails within that year, we come back free. No fine print. No arguing about it.
Our reputation in Clovis is built on showing up prepared. We carry Rotobrush and Nikro equipment calibrated for negative-pressure extraction, and we stock the seals, collars, mastic, and UL-listed tape needed for most Clovis duct repairs on the truck. That means fewer follow-up visits and less waiting for parts. When a Clovis homeowner calls, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree. Not a callback queue. You get a human on the line, any hour of the day.

HVAC Duct Installation in Clovis
HVAC Duct Installation in Clovis means running new ductwork where none exists, or adding a supply run to serve a room that was never properly conditioned. In Clovis, this comes up most often in two situations: a room addition off a post-1990 tract home, or a converted garage where a previous owner ran flex duct through an unpermitted pathway. The job involves sizing the duct to the room’s heat load, installing the run with proper support at NADCA-recommended intervals, sealing every joint with mastic and UL-listed tape, and testing airflow at the register before we call it done. A single new supply run in Clovis typically costs $350 – $750. A full HVAC duct installation for a small addition runs $1,200 – $2,800, depending on access and distance from the air handler.
Sizing and Support That Hold Up
Most problems we find in Clovis additions come down to two mistakes: undersized flex duct that starves the room, and runs that sag between trusses because they were never strapped. We size the duct to the room’s actual CFM requirement and support the run every four feet, the way the manufacturer specifies. No guessing. A supported, properly sealed duct doesn’t fail the way the old ones here do.
When a New Run Beats a Patch
If a duct has collapsed, torn along its inner liner, or pulled completely off its collar, we’ll tell you straight: patching it may last a season, but replacement is the honest fix. A new flex run costs more upfront than a patch, but it’s sealed and supported to survive the Clovis attic heat cycle. We’ll show you photos of the old duct before we remove it and the new run after it’s in, so you’re not taking our word for it.
Air Duct Replacement in Clovis
Air Duct Replacement in Clovis usually means removing and replacing one or more complete flex-duct runs, often because attic heat has separated the inner liner from the collar, or because a run has compressed and collapsed under insulation. In a typical Clovis single-story home, replacing one supply run costs $400 – $900. Replacing all the flexible supply runs in an average three-bedroom house runs $1,800 – $3,400. The scope depends on attic access, how many runs are involved, and whether the plenum connections need rebuilding. We’ll give you the written scope and price before any work begins.
The Difference Between a Patch and a Replacement
A separated joint at a takeoff collar can often be resecured and sealed, and that’s a repair, not a replacement. A crushed duct, a torn inner liner, or a run that’s been baked to brittleness can’t be reliably patched; the material itself is done. In those cases we replace the run. Our 365-day written guarantee covers replacements the same way it covers repairs. If the new run fails within a year, we return free.
Our Full Replacement Process
We don’t swap ducts without seeing the whole picture. First we inspect every run we can reach, camera-check the ones we can’t, and document what’s failing. Then we quote the exact runs to be replaced, written, with a fixed scope. On the day of the job, we remove the old duct, install the new run with proper support and sealed connections, and run a final airflow test to confirm the room is now getting the right CFM. You get before-and-after photos of your own ductwork. That’s part of the job, not an upsell.
Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis
We work on flex and rigid duct systems across all the common brands found in Clovis homes, and we use professional-grade gear from Rotobrush and Nikro for every inspection and cleaning. When air quality products are needed, we install and service Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration components. For Clovis customers, that means we’re not learning the equipment from scratch when we show up. We keep commonly needed seals, collars, straps, and vent components stocked, so most replacements and repairs get done the same day we diagnose. Fewer return trips. Less waiting.
Common Air Duct Repair Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Separated duct joints at takeoff collars. Clovis attics routinely exceed 140°F in July and August. The repeated expansion and contraction of sheet-metal collars against flex-duct inner liners eventually causes the connection to pop loose. Once that happens, the system pulls in attic air, fiberglass insulation, and fine San Joaquin Valley dust, then blows it through the registers. We find this more often in Clovis than almost anywhere else we work.
- Sagging flex duct between trusses. Post-1990 tract homes often have long, open attic spans and loosely supported flex runs. Over time the duct sags into low spots that trap dust and choke off airflow to the farthest rooms. If a back bedroom runs 5 – 8°F warmer than the rest of the house in August, a sagged or collapsed run is usually the reason.
- Crushed duct from attic traffic. Cable installers, pest-control techs, and even HVAC techs from other companies have all been through Clovis attics. It doesn’t take much weight to crush flex duct against a truss chord. The blower motor works harder, static pressure climbs, and airflow drops. We see this constantly.
- Leaky plenum connections. The metal box where supply ducts leave the air handler is a common failure point in Clovis homes, especially where the original install used foil tape instead of mastic. Once the tape degrades in the heat, conditioned air pours into the attic instead of your living room. Your system runs longer to hold temperature, and your summer power bill shows it.

FAQs About Air Duct Repair in Clovis
Because Clovis’s post-1990 housing stock is almost entirely single-story tract construction with HVAC systems run through unconditioned attics, and those attics hit 140°F or more every summer. The sheet-metal collar expands and contracts at a different rate than the flex-duct inner liner, and after enough thermal cycles the mastic and tape fail and the duct slips off. Older Fresno neighborhoods with basement-ducted systems or coastal climates don’t see this failure mode nearly as often. The fix is resecuring the liner to the collar with mechanical fasteners, mastic, and UL-listed tape. Call (559) 272-4989 and we’ll camera-inspect the joint before quoting anything.
If cleaning was done within the last two years and dust returns to your furniture within days, or if a specific room won’t hold temperature no matter how you adjust the dampers, you likely have a duct failure, not a dirt problem. Rooms that run 5°F or more warmer than the rest of the house, a hissing or whistling sound from a register, or visible dust blowing out of a supply vent point to separated joints, sag, or a crushed run. A camera inspection through the ducts will show it. If the ducts are intact, we’ll tell you a cleaning is the right call and quote it honestly. If they’re not, we’ll show you the photo. Call (559) 272-4989 to schedule an inspection.
For most Clovis single-story homes, duct replacement means removing the failed flex runs from the attic, installing new insulated flex duct properly sized and supported every four feet, sealing all connections with mastic and UL-listed tape, and running a final airflow test at each register. The job usually takes one day for up to three or four runs. The work is done from the attic access. We protect your floors and furniture, and we leave the attic cleaner than we found it. Before-and-after photos of your ductwork are included. The written 365-day guarantee covers every replaced run. Call (559) 272-4989 for a specific quote on your home.
Yes, and we do it regularly. Attic work in Clovis summer heat is difficult and we schedule it for the earliest available morning slot whenever possible to keep the technician and the work environment safer. Heat stress in a 140°F attic is a real hazard, and our crew is trained to hydrate, take breaks outside the attic, and work in shorter intervals. If the attic is dangerously hot, we’ll tell you and reschedule a morning visit rather than push through unsafely. The repair itself holds fine in the heat, the mastic and UL-listed tape we use are rated for high-temperature attic conditions. Call (559) 272-4989 and we’ll find the earliest safe appointment.
Duct repair is a separate service from air duct cleaning. During a cleaning, if our tech finds a separated joint, crushed run, or torn liner, we’ll photograph it and show you exactly what we found. We’ll then give you a written repair quote as a separate line item. We never perform repairs without your written approval of the price, and we never hide repair costs inside a cleaning invoice. If the ductwork is intact and cleaning is all you need, that’s all we’ll quote. Call (559) 272-4989 to schedule a cleaning and inspection. Many Clovis homeowners combine both: clean the system, fix the joints, and not worry about it for another season.
