I’m Leo, owner of LC Heating & Air. If you live in Porter Valley Country Club, you know that our summer heat puts a massive strain on our cooling systems. A lot of homeowners here call me because their AC seems to run forever without ever really getting the house comfortable. Often, the problem isn't the unit itself—it's the ductwork. When your ducts leak, you are paying to cool your attic or crawl spaces instead of your living room.
At LC Heating & Air, we don't just guess at the problem. We use professional duct blaster testing to measure exactly how much air you are losing. Whether we use manual mastic sealing for accessible joints or the Aeroseal process for hidden leaks, my goal is to give you a permanent solution that lowers your energy bills and finally balances the temperature in your home. If you are in the 91326 area and want an honest look at your system, give us a call at (323) 970-3113.

Why Duct Sealing Matters in Porter Valley Country Club
In our neighborhood, we deal with large single-family homes that often have extensive duct networks. Because of our extreme summer heat, these systems are under constant pressure. When ducts are leaky, the conditioned air escapes into hot attics, forcing your HVAC system to work much harder and run for longer cycles just to keep up.
I frequently see homes where the ductwork was never properly sealed during construction or has degraded over time. This leads to uneven temperatures between rooms and high utility bills. By sealing these leaks, we ensure that the air your system works hard to cool actually makes it into your living space, which is the most effective way to improve your home's energy efficiency.

Repair vs. Replacement: Making the Right Call
I get asked all the time if it's worth sealing old ducts or if it's time to replace the whole system. If your ducts are structurally sound but just have leaky joints, sealing is a fantastic, cost-effective upgrade. It’s a permanent fix that pays for itself through lower energy bills.
However, if the ductwork is crushed, undersized, or falling apart, sealing might be a band-aid on a bigger problem. I’ll always tell you the truth after I inspect the system. If a repair makes sense, we’ll do it. If the system is beyond help, I’ll explain why replacement is the better long-term investment for your home.
How the visit works
We perform a duct blaster test to quantify existing leakage as a percentage of system airflow.
Based on leakage quantity, duct type, and accessibility, we recommend manual sealing, Aeroseal, or a combination.
We apply mastic to all accessible joints and plenums, or set up and run the Aeroseal process for internal sealing.
We re-run the duct blaster test and provide you with before/after leakage numbers as written documentation.
Cost factors we review before quoting
- • Accessibility of the ductwork in your attic or crawl space
- • Total square footage and complexity of the duct layout
- • The chosen sealing method (manual mastic vs. Aeroseal)
- • Current condition of the existing duct materials
