Air duct work in Bedford, TX

Bedford stopped growing a long time ago, and close to half of what stands here is attached, much of it the duplex and fourplex stock along the Harwood Road corridor that went up when the Mid-Cities first needed rentals. Those buildings share more than a wall.

01Where to start in Bedford

Not every city needs the same thing first.

Mixed-era stock is where guessing from the curb goes wrong most often — two houses on the same street can need completely different work, so the camera comes first.

What that means for ducts

Mixed-era stock

Bedford splits across build eras — 17% pre-1980, 3% since 2010 — so two houses on the same street can need completely different work. It is the case where guessing from the curb is worst, and where a camera before a quote saves the most money.

That is a reading of the city’s stock, not a diagnosis of your home. Which of it applies to you is exactly what the camera settles — and why we would rather run one than quote from a postcode.

On the ground in Bedford

Bedford stopped growing a long time ago, and close to half of what stands here is attached, much of it the duplex and fourplex stock along the Harwood Road corridor that went up when the Mid-Cities first needed rentals. Those buildings share more than a wall. In a lot of them the attic runs continuous above the party wall, with a firewall that stops short of the deck or that somebody cut through for a duct at some point, and both units have return ducts up there that leak. That is how a neighbor's cigarette smoke or last night's cooking arrives out of your supply registers, and it is the most common complaint we take in this city. It is not a dirty duct. It is a duct drawing air from a space shared with somebody else, and the fix is sealing the return rather than scrubbing the branches. On the detached side the houses are largely 1980s and 90s and almost all electric, so the coil and the drain carry the inspection there. One caveat about the duplexes: proving the leak path properly needs access to both sides, and that is not always easy to arrange.

05Questions

Asked in Bedford.

We smell our neighbor's smoke coming through the vents.

Then the return is where to look. In these attached buildings the attic above the party wall is often continuous and the return duct up there leaks, so your system pulls from a space your neighbor's air also reaches. Cleaning changes nothing about that. Sealing the return box and the joints where it crosses the wall line generally ends it for good.

We own a duplex. Do both sides need doing?

For an inspection, yes, and this is the awkward part of a duplex. The two systems are separate but the attic they sit in is not, so a problem proven on one side is frequently produced by something on the other. Owners can arrange both easily enough. Where one side is occupied and access is refused we can still work, but the finding will be less certain and we will say so in the report.

Our 1990s house has never had the ducts done.

Then the flex is around thirty years old and the question is condition rather than dirt. We look at the strap points where insulation compresses, the bends where the liner tears, and the boots at the ceiling. If the runs are intact, cleaning is reasonable. If several sections have already failed, cleaning them is spending money on duct you will be replacing anyway.
