Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to replace ductwork in my area?
Replacing ductwork costs between $3,000 and $7,000 on average. In larger or more complex homes, it can exceed $10,000. Costs vary based on local labor rates, materials, and the size of your home.
Can I replace my own ductwork?
While it’s possible for experienced DIYers, most homeowners should hire a pro. Ductwork involves design, sealing, sizing, and sometimes cutting into walls or ceilings. A licensed contractor ensures your HVAC system runs safely and efficiently.
How can I calculate ductwork sizing?
Sizing duct work on your own can be a tedious and complicated task. Sometimes it’s best to leave it to a ductwork replacement company to get the most accurate sized duct work that works perfectly with your central AC unit and furnace to regulate home temperatures efficiently. You need to know the following:
Square footage of your home.
Square footage of each individual room in your home.
Cubic feet per minute calculations (explained below.)
Duct’s Sizing Friction Loss Rate
HVAC systems work a lot more efficiently when the ductwork you use is the right size for your home. Install duct sizes that are too small, and your system will have to work harder to keep your home heated and cooled. If your duct sizing is too big, the velocity will be compromised, meaning you may not be able to feel it through the air vents.
Installing or repairing AC duct unit can become an urgent situation when your home’s temperature is not being maintained efficiently. A ductwork installation can become a pricey HVAC project and you want to make sure your ductwork contractor is qualified and reliable before committing to any job.
Here are a few things you can do to start your search for a reliable ductwork installation contractor in your area:
Ask your family and friends for a recommendation on someone they have used in the past and what kind of experience they had with local contractors.
