Air duct work in Murphy, TX
Murphy filled in across roughly one decade, so nearly every duct system in the city is the same age and was built to the same details by the same few crews. Original flex from that period is now at the point where the inner liner tears at tight bends and the insulation is crushed flat wherever a strap crosses a joist.

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
Murphy splits across build eras — 2% pre-1980, 17% 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 Murphy
Murphy filled in across roughly one decade, so nearly every duct system in the city is the same age and was built to the same details by the same few crews. Original flex from that period is now at the point where the inner liner tears at tight bends and the insulation is crushed flat wherever a strap crosses a joist. The second Murphy particular is fuel. Gas came in with the subdivisions, so most houses here have a real furnace rather than a heat pump alone, and in these two-story plans the furnace and the coil sit together in an attic closet. That closet is where the finding usually is. In a lot of these builds the return for the upstairs unit is a framed stud cavity rather than a sealed metal box, and a framed cavity in an attic pulls attic air, so the system draws unfiltered air out of a hot dusty space and does it right beside a combustion appliance. Sealing that is a better purchase than cleaning the branch runs, and we will say so even when you called about cleaning.

05Questions
Asked in Murphy.
Our Maxwell Creek house is about twenty years old and the ducts have never been touched. Where would you start?
At the plenum and the first few feet off the coil, then the strap points and the boots. On a system this age the condition of the flex decides more than the dust depth does. If the liner is intact and the boots are still sealed we tell you the system is sound, and the visit ends with a report rather than an invoice for cleaning.
The furnace and air handler are up in the attic closet. Why does that matter?
Because that closet is usually the leakiest part of the system and it sits inside unconditioned space. We check whether the return there is sealed sheet metal or an open framed cavity, whether the filter frame actually seals, and whether the closet itself is drawing air around the equipment. A gas appliance in a closet with poor air separation is worth confirming, not assuming.
Two upstairs rooms never cool evenly. Will cleaning fix that?
Rarely. In these plans the branch to the far bedroom is long and full of turns, and it is competing with shorter runs on the same trunk. Cleaning removes dust, not resistance. We measure at the registers before quoting, and when the answer is a damper adjustment or an added branch we would rather tell you that than sell you a cleaning that changes nothing.
