Air duct work in Richardson, TX

On the ground in Richardson

Richardson has two housing markets and they barely overlap. The original city inside Belt Line and along Central is 1950s and 60s ranch stock, and the thing that matters about those houses is the roof pitch. A low-slope ranch roof leaves an attic you cannot stand up in, so the ductwork lies flat across the ceiling joists instead of being suspended, and decades of trades crawling over it leaves runs crushed against framing, straps pulled loose, and flex bellied down into compacted insulation. Debris settles in those bellies and no brush reaches the bottom of a sag. The other Richardson is the mid-rise wave that went up around CityLine and Galatyn over the last fifteen years. In those buildings the equipment lives behind a closet door, and filter fit and return sealing are the only levers anyone actually has. Gas furnaces turn up often enough in the older neighborhoods that we treat the combustion cabinet, blower compartment and flue connection as part of the standard visit here rather than an exception.
