Frequently Asked Questions About Ductwork
How much does it cost to install new ductwork?
How much you spend on installing new ductwork depends greatly on the size of your home and whether changes need to be made to the existing system or layout. That’s why ductwork installation can cost anywhere from $3 to $39 per lean foot, including materials and labor.
The best way to find out how much it will cost to install new ductwork in your home is to schedule a consultation.
Can I install my own ductwork?
Technically, there’s nothing stopping you from the attempt, but running ducts for effective, efficient heating and cooling is far more complex than simply making sure a duct reaches each room.
Good duct design minimizes the force needed to push air to each room of your house, and it also makes sure relatively similar amounts of air reach each room so some rooms don’t end up with drastically different temperatures. In short: Maybe you can, but you shouldn’t. Leave this one to the pros!
How long does it take to install ductwork?
That depends on the amount of work required and who’s performing it. When professional installers handle ductwork installation, the typical job takes one to two days. The more accessible the areas are where the ductwork will be installed, the less time the job should take.
Is flex duct better than hard duct?
Installed correctly, both types of ductwork are acceptable solutions. Most experts agree metal ductwork is ideal for building entire HVAC systems. Metal ductwork is also more durable than flexible ductwork because it holds its shape and can’t be crushed.
Properly maintained, metal ductwork typically doesn’t require any repairs for a long time. And because there are so many types and sizes of fittings available for hard ducts, it’s an efficient choice for nearly any home.
How often should you replace ductwork?
The life span of your ductwork will depend largely on how you’ve used it, what measures you’ve taken to maintain it, and the environment you’re using it in, but there are limits to even the best care you can give your ducts.
By the time your ducts hit 15 years or so, they’re already going to show some signs of deterioration. By 20 to 25 years, your ducts almost certainly need to be replaced.
How do you know if you need new ductwork?
Obviously, if your ducts are closing in on that maximum life span we mentioned, you need to start thinking about new ducts.
Short of that, you’ll want to look for signs of leaky ducts, frequent blockages or obstructions, poor air balancing (rooms ending up too hot or too cold), unusually high utility bills, and similar signs that your ducts are forcing your HVAC systems to work harder for worse results.
Should I clean or replace my air ducts?
If your ducts are relatively new and don’t yet show signs of deterioration (or show few signs), then you probably just want to work on keeping them clean.
Regular attention for your ducts, like regular maintenance for your HVAC systems, will keep them working better for longer — though no amount of maintenance can put off replacement forever.
Do you need to replace ductwork when replacing AC?
It depends on several different factors, but as a general rule, you won’t need new ducts for a new AC unit.
It may be a good time to also upgrade your ducts if they’re old, and you may need new ducts to make maximum use of your new AC or because of other factors, but simply replacing your AC doesn’t necessarily mean replacing all your ducts.
