This depends on your ductwork’s age, condition, and extent of damage. If your ducts are less than 15 years old with isolated problems, repair is usually the most cost-effective option. Older systems with multiple issues throughout may benefit more from replacement. Our inspection process identifies whether repairs will provide long-term solutions or if replacement makes more financial sense. Factors include the number of problem areas, duct material condition, and your home’s overall HVAC efficiency goals. The decision also considers your budget and timeline. Repairs can often be completed quickly and affordably, while replacement is a larger investment that provides longer-term benefits. You’ll receive honest recommendations based on your specific situation.
