Duct sealing is one of the most effective ways to improve your home's comfort and energy efficiency. By sealing leaks in your ductwork, we ensure that the air your HVAC system works to heat or cool actually reaches your living space instead of escaping into attics or wall cavities.

I'm Leo, owner of LC Heating & Air. I see a lot of homes in Tujunga where the HVAC system is working hard, but the house just doesn't feel right. Often, the problem isn't the furnace or the AC unit itself—it's the ductwork. If your ducts have leaks, you are paying to condition your attic or crawl space, which is a waste of money and puts unnecessary strain on your equipment.
We use professional duct blaster testing to find exactly where your system is losing air. Whether we use manual mastic sealing for accessible joints or Aeroseal for internal leaks, our goal is to get your system running efficiently. We don't believe in guessing; we provide a written estimate and clear, honest advice about whether your ducts need a simple repair or a more comprehensive sealing process.

Local HVAC considerations
We plan around slopes, narrow roads, and limited attic access common in Tujunga.
We address heat gain and airflow issues caused by local sun exposure and elevation.
Duct Issues in Tujunga's Hillside Homes
Tujunga's hillside and canyon properties often present unique challenges for ductwork. Because of the way these homes are built, we frequently see tight-access mechanical areas and long, complex duct runs. When ducts are tucked into cramped crawl spaces or attics, they are prone to damage from settling or poor original installation.
In this climate, sun exposure and elevation changes can cause room-by-room comfort differences. If your ducts are leaking, that unevenness gets worse because the system can't push air effectively to the rooms that need it most. We focus on identifying these specific leakage patterns so we can fix the root cause of your comfort issues.

Repair or Replace: Making the Right Call
When I inspect a duct system, I look at the structural integrity first. If the ducts are in good shape but just have a few loose joints or disconnected runs, a manual repair with mastic is usually the best path. It's a permanent, cost-effective fix that keeps your system running well for years.
However, if the ductwork is severely damaged, crushed, or made of outdated materials that are falling apart, patching it up is just a temporary band-aid. In those cases, I will be honest with you about the benefits of replacement. My job is to make sure the estimate makes sense for your home and your budget before we start any work.
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
- • Total square footage of the duct system
- • Accessibility of the ductwork (attic vs. crawl space)
- • Method of sealing required (manual mastic vs. Aeroseal)
- • Existing condition and structural integrity of the ducts

What Tujunga customers say about duct sealing
Verified reviews from homeowners in Tujunga and nearby neighborhoods who used our duct sealing service.
“Our AC stopped working during a heat wave and LC had a technician here within two hours. He diagnosed a bad capacitor, had the part on his truck, and fixed it on the spot. Fair price, no upsell. Will use again.”
“Called on a Saturday because AC was blowing warm air. LC answered, sent someone the same afternoon. They found and fixed a refrigerant leak. Professional and reasonably priced.”
“Woke up to no AC at 6am. LC was at my door by 9am. Frozen evaporator coil — they explained exactly why it happened (dirty filter + low airflow) and fixed it same visit. Very professional.”
