What types of air ducts do you replace or repair?

We work with every type of duct material found in Citrus County homes. If your home is older, you might have rigid fiberglass board or sheet metal ducts. Newer homes, especially those built after the 1990s, often use flexible duct, also called flex duct. Each type of duct has its own common problems, and we know how to handle them all. Sheet metal ducts: Prone to joint separation and corrosion, especially in crawl spaces and attics where Citrus County's humidity collects. We reseal joints with UL 181-rated mastic or metal-backed tape. Fiberboard ducts: Can delaminate on the interior lining over time, shedding fibers into your airflow. Replacement is often the better call once delamination begins. Flexible ductwork: Tears, kinks, and collapses at bends are the most common flex duct failures we see. A kinked flex run can cut airflow by 50% or more without any visible sign from the outside. Fiberglass-lined ducts: The interior lining deteriorates with age and can harbor mold when moisture enters. We inspect with a camera before recommending repair versus replacement. The type of ductwork you have affects how we repair it. We never use a one-size-fits-all approach, because fixing a sheet metal gap is different from repairing a collapsed flex duct. Florida's hot attics and constant humidity can wear out ductwork faster than in cooler places, so ducts that last 30 years up north might only last 15 to 20 years here. If your home was built in the 1980s or 1990s, it's a good idea to have your ductwork inspected, even if you haven't noticed any problems yet.

How do I know if my air ducts are leaking in Citrus County?

The most common signs are: If you notice some rooms are cooler than others, your energy bills are going up, your vents are getting dusty, or your air ducts might be leaking. The best way to know for sure is with a professional duct pressure test, which shows exactly how much air you're losing. In older Citrus County homes, especially those built before 2000 in places like Hernando and Floral City , leaks often happen at duct joints and boots. A quick inspection can show if you need a simple seal or a full replacement.

What types of air ducts does Aire Serv of Citrus County service?

Our crew repairs and replaces sheet metal, fiberboard, flexible ductwork, rigid ductwork, and fiberglass-lined ducts. Beyond ductwork, our Citrus County HVAC services include AC repair, heating services, air conditioning installation, indoor air quality solutions, duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and seasonal AC tune-ups for homes.

How much does air duct repair cost in Citrus County?

The cost of duct repair depends on the type of ductwork you have, how many leaks there are, and whether we need to replace sections or just seal them. Minor sealing jobs usually cost less than a full duct replacement, which is more common if your flex duct is over 15 to 20 years old. At Aire Serv of Citrus County, we always give you upfront pricing in writing before we start, so you know exactly what to expect. We never charge by the hour, so your bill won't go up if the job takes longer.

Can leaking air ducts affect my indoor air quality in Citrus County?

Yes, leaking air ducts can affect your indoor air quality. If there are gaps in your ductwork, your system can pull in air from your attic or crawl space, bringing in dust, pollen, mold spores, and sometimes even pest debris. This air skips your filter and goes straight into your home. Sealing up those leaks is one of the best ways to improve your indoor air quality without replacing your equipment. If you have older fiberglass-lined ducts, the inside lining can break down and add even more particles to your air. For homes with air quality concerns, we recommend sealing your ducts and upgrading your filter or adding a whole-home air purifier for even better results.

How long does air duct replacement take in Citrus County?

Most partial duct replacements, addressing one or two runs or a damaged trunk section, take a few hours. Full system duct replacement in a mid-size home typically takes 1 to 2 days, depending on attic access and system layout. Homes in Citrus County with hard-to-access crawl spaces or complex multi-zone layouts take longer to complete. We walk you through the scope and estimated timeline before we start so you can plan accordingly.

When should I replace my air ducts instead of repairing them?

You should consider replacing your air ducts if the material is worn out, your flex duct is over 15 to 20 years old and showing cracks or collapse, or if repairs would only fix a small part of a bigger problem. The EPA says that homes with old or damaged ductwork can lose 25 to 40 percent of their energy. If the cost of repairs is close to the cost of a full replacement, new ductwork can save you money on your bills and help your HVAC system last longer. We'll always give you a clear comparison of your options so you can make the best choice for your home.

About Our Air Duct Repair, Sealing, and Replacement Services in Crystal River

If you notice rooms that used to cool evenly now feel stuffy, or your energy bills are going up even though you haven't changed your thermostat, your air ducts might be to blame. Rattling sounds when your system runs can mean a loose duct connection. If you see dust building up around your vents or smell attic air coming through your registers, there could be a break in your ductwork.
When you call us for air duct repair, we start with a thorough inspection of your ductwork. We use a pressure test to find any hidden leaks and check that your duct system is the right size for your HVAC equipment. If your ducts are too small or too large, you might notice your system turning on and off too often, making extra noise, or not keeping every room comfortable.
Depending on what we find, we might seal up small leaks, reconnect any loose joints, straighten out kinked duct runs, or recommend a full duct replacement if the material is too worn out. After we finish, we always test your airflow again to make sure your system is sending cool or warm air exactly where you need it.
