HVAC repair and replacement in Newport News.
Newport News runs from century-old cottages with no room for a duct run to subdivisions whose original systems are wearing out. We work on both, diagnosing before we recommend anything, fitting equipment to the house it’s going into, and replacing only when it makes sense.

HVAC in Newport News
Locally owned, serving all of Newport News.
Ductman HVAC is a locally owned heating and cooling company serving Newport News from our office in Virginia Beach. We repair, maintain, and replace air conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces, mini splits, and ductwork across the city, and we still service the boilers and Apollo systems found in many of its older homes.
Our technicians diagnose the whole system before recommending anything, and they’re paid for their workmanship, not their sales. If your system has life left in it, that’s what you’ll hear.
We serve every part of Newport News, from Hilton Village and the North End to the Warwick corridor, Denbigh, and Kiln Creek.

Around Newport News
Every part of Newport News, and what its homes tend to need.
A Hilton Village cottage and a Kiln Creek two-story have almost nothing in common mechanically. Here’s what we tend to find across the city.
-
Hilton Village
Hilton Village
One of the country’s early planned communities, with compact homes built around 1920. Mechanical space is tight, ductwork is often a later addition or missing entirely, and laundry and bath exhaust rarely made it outside.
-
North End
North End, Huntington Heights
Larger historic homes along the James, often with hot-water heat, Apollo systems, or early forced air, and additions the original systems never reached.
-
Older Warwick corridor
Hilton, Riverside, Warwick corridor neighborhoods
Mid-century homes with crawlspace ductwork, older package units, and systems on their second or third replacement.
-
Denbigh and Kiln Creek
Denbigh, Kiln Creek, Lee Hall
Subdivisions from the 1970s through the 2000s, where many original and second-generation systems are reaching the end of their life, and where an honest repair-or-replace answer saves the most money.

Replacement & Installation
Older homes in Newport News
Small houses need a smarter install.
In a compact older house, there’s nowhere to hide HVAC. Most companies treat it like any other install: they order equipment sized for a bigger house, cram the air handler into a closet that can’t hold it, and run duct wherever it will fit: through the one closet, across the attic, down a wall that shouldn’t have been opened.
We start with the house. A load calculation tells us how little capacity a small home actually needs. Then we figure out where equipment can go without taking over a room, whether ductless heads would serve the space better than a duct system, and how to route exhaust and refrigerant lines without damaging plaster or a historic exterior.
The result is a system that fits the house instead of one the house has to make room for.

Restaurants, retail, offices, and medical practices across Newport News rely on us for maintenance, repair, and replacement: rooftop units, ductwork, kitchen hoods, and gas lines, all from one licensed contractor.

Dryer or bath exhaust that never made it outside?
It’s common in older Newport News homes. We trace the run, fix it or reroute it, and duct it all the way outside, not into the attic or the crawlspace.

Mike was very professional and thorough throughout the entire process. Haven’t felt with any HVAC service before Ductman and will never choose anything else now. Thank you for a great experience.

Everyone was respectful, a pleasure to work with, and they got the job done in a timely fashion with a great quality of work. My house heats even better now than before. 10/10 I absolutely recommend them.

Furnace went out on what seems like the coldest day so far this year. Chris answered our call and promptly sent out a technician to review the issue and provide an estimate. They were able to order and install the part quickly for a reasonable price. I would definitely call them again if we had another HVAC issue.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you serve Newport News?
Yes, including Hilton Village, the North End, the Warwick corridor, Denbigh, and Kiln Creek.
Our Hilton Village home has no ductwork. Can we add air conditioning?
Usually, yes. Mini splits provide cooling and heating for older homes with no room for ductwork.
Do you work on Apollo systems and boilers in Newport News?
Yes. We service hot-water heat and Apollo systems in Hilton Village, the North End, and the city’s other older homes.
Our dryer takes forever and the bathroom stays steamy. Is that related?
It can be. In older Newport News homes, laundry and bath exhaust rarely made it outside. We trace the run, fix it or reroute it, and duct it all the way outside.
Our Kiln Creek system is original. Should we replace it?
Not automatically. Many original systems there are reaching the end of their life, and that’s where an honest repair-or-replace answer saves the most money. We diagnose before we recommend anything.
Do you handle HVAC repairs for home sales in Newport News?
Yes. HVAC repairs and documentation for PICRAs and home inspections, scheduled around your closing date.
Do you offer emergency service in Newport News?
Yes. Emergency service is available 24/7. Call 757-241-0723.
