What to know about Ductwork
Ductwork is the network of supply ducts, return ducts and registers that carries heated or cooled air from a furnace, heat pump or central air conditioner to each room and back again. Even an efficient system performs poorly if the ducts are undersized, leaky, crushed or badly balanced: the equipment runs longer, some rooms never get comfortable, and warm air can end up in the basement, the crawl space or the attic instead of the living areas.

No permit page published by Kings County itself has been verified for this site, so what is below is what applies in Nova Scotia. If ductwork needs a permit, ask who is pulling it and whether it is in the price.

- Type of system and fuel source

- Condition of the existing ductwork and venting
- Electrical or gas line changes
- Access to the furnace room, attic or outdoor unit location
- Removal and disposal of the old equipment
- Emergency or after-hours service
How to choose HVAC contractors in Kings County
- Hire a technician who is licensed for heating, cooling and gas work in your province.
- For a new system, ask for a load calculation for your home rather than a size based on the old unit.
- Get written quotes that list the equipment, ductwork changes, removal of the old unit and any electrical work.
- Ask how they handle service calls and repairs after installation, including in the middle of winter.
- Compare the full scope of each quote, not only the equipment on it.
Questions to ask HVAC contractors before you hire
- Are you licensed for this type of heating, cooling or gas work in my province?
- How did you decide what size of system my home needs?
- Does this installation need a permit, and will you take care of it?
- What does the manufacturer's warranty cover, and what does your labour warranty cover?
- Will you need to change the ductwork, venting or electrical to make this work?
- Do you offer maintenance plans, and what do they include?
- How quickly can you respond if the system stops working?
Ductwork permits in Nova Scotia
Some ductwork work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Nova Scotia
Gas and fuel-burning appliances
Fuel safety technicians and businesses must be licensed to work with propane, natural gas and fuel oil, and a gas business needs a gas permit or a gas registration before each installation or alteration.

Common ductwork questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
