What is a CCTV Ductwork Inspection?
CCTV ductwork inspections utilise specialist video cameras to visualise and examine the interior condition of HVAC ductwork and to identify any potential issues with the HVAC system such as leaks, blockages, or damage.

When is a Ductwork Camera Inspection Needed?
In situations where manual inspections would be challenging or impossible, CCTV ductwork inspections are invaluable as they enable the inspection of a system’s interior remotely. CCTV inspection cameras also offer enhanced diagnostic precision.
The Benefits of CCTV Ductwork Inspections
With time, ductwork can become dirty, damaged, or contaminated. This negatively impacts indoor air quality, potentially causing respiratory problems, allergies, and other health issues, and can reduce the efficiency of the HVAC system, resulting in higher energy bills and poor system performance. CCTV ductwork inspection is a highly effective way to avoid these issues and maintain a healthy and efficient HVAC system.
Enhanced Accuracy
The high resolution imaging capabilities of CCTV inspection cameras offers enhanced diagnostic precision, allowing for far easier identification of issues such as blockages, cracks, corrosion, and other damage.
Reduced Disruption
The ability of CCTV inspection cameras to easily navigate through complex ductwork systems avoids the need to dismantle the components of the system, reducing disruption significantly.
Time Efficiency
Using a CCTV inspection camera speeds up the investigation and diagnostic process drastically. These cameras can identify issues at record speed, saving a lot of time and money in the process.
Health and Safety
CCTV ductwork inspections are non-invasive and a much safer method of inspection as they avoid the confined space hazards associated with manually inspecting narrow or poorly ventilated HVAC ductwork.
How We Conduct CCTV Ductwork Inspections
A CCTV ductwork inspection involves inserting a high resolution camera into the ductwork system to provide a close up and detailed view of the interior surface of the ducts. The camera is attached to a flexible rod and is carefully maneuvered through the ductwork, transmitting live video footage to a monitor or computer for real-time analysis.
