"Nice enough guy they sent over, no complaints about the people they send out who were just hired by them. But... they quoted us 3800 for a job that Home Depot did for 1700 with a better unit, and much better warranty. So it seems the prey on people who have an urgent need for serivces, that was a very jacked price. Stay away."

Located in the Town of Poughkeepsie. Your reliable handymen can handle anything inside and outside of your residential property. Your property, our pride!

"I recently hired Castaldo Property Services to tackle several home improvement projects, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience or happier with the results. From the start, I had an initial project walkthrough with the owner of the company, who took the time to understand my needs and provided an insightful appraisal of the work required. One of the key projects was the completion of bathroom upgrades, and the owner offered excellent suggestions that elevated the final outcome. The work was completed with exceptional craftsmanship, and everything was done within a reasonable time frame. The attention to detail and professionalism were top-notch. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the finished work and would highly recommend Castaldo Property Services to anyone looking for reliable and skilled handyman services. Whether you're tackling one project or several, you’re in great hands with this team! Thank you, Eric, Brandon and Josh."

"Issue with Bell Mechanical This past August of 2024 we had a heat pump system installed in the house by Bell Mechanical. Unfortunately, we have had nothing but issues since with the biggest being no heat multiple times and now again today we are without heat in the majority of our house. It is freezing outside, we have a toddler and within the past week this is the 2nd time we have no heat (4th time since the system was put in). Not only is this a life safety issue, but it also is heart breaking to have your toddler tell you they are freezing. Looking for advice on next steps. We have never sued anyone or threatened to sue but this may be the time as we have had nothing but issues since the beginning. From the start we made it very clear that everything needed to be done to code and permitted. We were doing a lot of major renovations at our house and everything was being done to code and permitted. John (the salesman) at Bell said that was not a problem. John also told us that the only additional cost we could potentially incur outside of what he quoted us for the system and its installation would be a $500 fee for the installation of the heat strip. We accepted this and moved forward. After Bell removed our central air system and installed the new carrier system we got his with additional work needed at the tune of over 2k. Needless to say we were not happy. John told us the electrician they use and that if we used that electrician there would be no delay but if we used ours that it would cause a delay. So, we went with what John said as he was the expert. John got the electrician to come down a little in price which we were grateful for. Fast forward to when the building inspector came out to close out the permits for the work Bell did and other work being done at the house, the inspector told my contractor that the heat pump was not done to code. We were told that the electrical for it was not done to code and he could not close out the permit. My husband talked to the electrician Bell gave us who informed us that Bell told him to “cut corners” which was part of getting the cost down slightly. Reminder, we NEVER said to do this, we made it clear that everything needed to be permitted and even paid the permit fees to Bell. Back and forth with Bell and the electrician got the electrician to fix his work at no additional cost but Bell still needed to fix the outside plug which was not to code. Giovanni at Bell agreed that Bell would fix this issue at no additional cost. It has been 3 months now and Bell has still not rectified this issue and Giovanni and John are both nonresponsive to our follow-ups. Bell has also had to come out 4 additional times because our system was not working and again today, we have no heat. Today will be the 5th time they have to come out for issues on a system that is 4 months old. This is not OK. We have given Bell ample time to rectify the issues. Clearly they did not do the install properly and there is also the possibility we have a faulty system. We have never sued someone or went to court but then again, we have never had such large and costly issues."

Ducts & vents installations and replacements FAQs

Most ductwork lasts between 15 and 25 years. Sheet metal ducts can last even longer—up to 30 to 50 years. The lifespan of your ductwork depends on factors like the quality of the materials, how well it's maintained, and the environment it's in. As ducts get older, you might notice deterioration and decreased performance. Regular inspections and proper maintenance can help your ducts last longer and keep your HVAC system running efficiently.

If you're looking for options that don't require ductwork, consider ductless mini-split systems. These systems are becoming increasingly popular because they require minimal installation. With multiple indoor air handlers and at least one outdoor compressor unit, mini-splits use heat pump technology to heat or cool your home through refrigerant lines. While mini-splits cost more upfront than traditional systems, they offer superior efficiency, zoning flexibility, and other advantages that can save you money in the long run.

Undersized ductwork restricts airflow, leading to uneven temperature distribution, strain on HVAC equipment, and other problems. Oversized ductwork similarly hurts HVAC efficiency and causes poor temperature distribution or consistency. In either case, improper ductwork sizing results in increased maintenance needs, more frequent repairs, higher operating costs, and a reduced lifespan for HVAC equipment.

You can replace only a portion of your ductwork when certain sections show issues while other areas remain sound. Targeted replacement is a cost-effective solution that focuses on problematic duct sections only. By addressing only the damaged segments, homeowners lower material and labor costs while still enhancing airflow. Partial replacements maintain system balance, protect well-functioning ducts, and minimize disruption during renovations.

Duct cleaning is a viable option to maintain your duct system when significant damage, leaks, or mold are not present. Routine cleaning improves airflow and indoor air quality. Removing accumulated dust, allergens, and debris restores efficiency and reduces energy loss. Homeowners observe improved HVAC performance and healthier living spaces without the need for complete duct replacement if the ducts are structurally sound.
