Fix the airflow, feel the difference.
Many heating and cooling problems, like rooms that never get warm, noisy vents, weak airflow, or HVAC systems that run nonstop, can be traced back to issues with your ductwork.
Even a brand-new ducted heat pump can’t perform the way it should if the duct system is holding it back.
At River City HVAC, we specialize in diagnosing and fixing duct issues using building-science testing and precision repair techniques so your home feels consistently comfortable in every season.
Ductwork: The Hidden Problem in Many Idaho Homes
20 to 30% of heated or cooled air can escape through leaky or poorly connected ducts. That forces your HVAC system to work harder, increases wear and tear, and leaves certain rooms uncomfortable, no matter how high you turn the thermostat.
Why fix your ductwork?
- Improve airflow to every room
- Eliminate hot and cold spots
- Reduce energy waste from duct leaks
- Help your forced-air HVAC system run quieter and last longer
- Support proper equipment sizing and efficiency
- Improve air quality by keeping dust and pollutants out of your system
At River City, our job is to find and fix these issues so your HVAC system can finally do its job.

We test, and we never guess!
River City HVAC evaluates your home’s ductwork using:
- Duct pressure testing
- Airflow measurements at each supply register
- Thermal imaging to detect hidden leaks and restrictions
- Static pressure readings to assess system strain
Our process allows us to pinpoint the exact issues reducing your comfort and energy efficiency, and fix them for good.
As building-science-trained and certified experts, we understand how your home’s heat pumps, insulation, and ductwork all work together to create a comfortable, energy efficient home.
With River City, you get a single, independent and locally-owned company that can evaluate the whole system and recommend a solution that truly solves your home’s comfort problems.
When a homeowner was told to add an entire second furnace + AC system to solve upstairs comfort problems, River City found a better answer. By identifying undersized ducts and pairing targeted duct improvements with a new heat pump and mini-split, we solved the comfort issues without unnecessary construction or expense.
