When should you replace your home’s air ducts? Replacing old ducts makes sense when:
- Existing ductwork is in such poor repair that fixing it isn’t worth the trouble.
- You’ve replaced your air conditioner or furnace, and the old ductwork is no longer appropriate for a modern HVAC unit.
Air duct replacement costs vary depending on the type of ductwork installed, the size of your home, the size of the ducts that need to be installed, accessories, and other factors.

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. For this reason, 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 book an appointment for a consultation.
Can I install my own ductwork?
“Can” is carrying a lot of weight in that question; technically, there’s nothing stopping you from the attempt, but running ducts for effective, efficient heating and cooling is far more complicated 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 from 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 does not require any repair work 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 in large part upon 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 with new ducts.
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 a number of 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 go ahead and upgrade your ducts if they’re at all 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 of your ducts.
