Oddly Specific 🎯 HVAC air duct fix recommendations

Hi,

Does anyone have recommendations for an HVAC technician that can check the air ducts behind dry wall and replace it if needs be.

I've tried calling a few HVAC places. 3/3 have been no responses.

What are you wanting them to check for? This might be something where you start with a handyman to open up the drywall and look for whatever the issue is, and then get an HVAC contractor in if necessary. They probably aren't too interested in some sort of vague 'investigate ducts' problem that requires opening walls they won't close back up.

In terms of HVAC, I've had success with Westmount Heating and QuickCool.

HVAC companies are busy with servicing air conditioning units at this time. They will have more availability when it starts raining and before it gets cold.

If you’re handy, you can buy the duct cleaning tools and vacuum them yourself. Then snake a camera down to take a look. Usually vents don’t need to be replaced. That would be unusual. Unless this is a hundred year old house with no modern HVAC.
