How much does air duct replacement cost for a typical home?

Air duct replacement for a typical home is quoted only after an on-site evaluation by a technician. Price mainly changes with the scope of work needed to correct airflow and temperature balance. Our team inspects supply and return ductwork and, when installing new systems, performs an Airflow & Duct Review to verify the system can deliver evenly; this same approach guides replacement decisions. We frequently provide this level of duct troubleshooting for homeowners throughout the Oak Ridge area.

Key factors that move the price up or down:

  • Full vs. partial replacement and the number of supply/return runs
  • Duct material and insulation level selected
  • Access conditions in attics, crawlspaces, or tight chases
  • Added work like sealing, balancing dampers, and final commissioning tests

Ask your technician to include leak testing and post-replacement commissioning so you only pay for work that solves the problem.

"Chris R and Ethan worked their tails off, staying nearly two hours later than expected to make sure our old dilapidated duct work was properly connected, even splicing and repairing obvious flaws that were causing problems with our air flow to certain rooms." — Jason F.
