How much does air duct repair cost in Miami?
+
Air duct repair cost depends on the type of damage, the number of duct sections affected, accessibility (attic vs wall cavity vs crawl space), and whether the ductwork is flex duct or sheet metal. Minor seal jobs cost less than full section replacements. We offer a free diagnostic inspection where our licensed technician inspects your entire duct system, identifies every problem, and gives you an exact price before any work begins. No obligation, no pressure. Call

How do I know if my ducts need repair?
+
The most common signs of damaged ductwork include rooms that will not cool evenly, unusually high FPL electric bills, whistling or rattling noises from vents when the AC runs, visible duct damage or disconnection in the attic, musty or stale odors from supply vents, and excessive dust on furniture even after cleaning. If your AC system is running but certain rooms stay warm, the conditioned air is likely escaping through a leak or disconnection somewhere in the duct system before it reaches the room.
Can leaking ducts increase my energy bill?
+
Yes, significantly. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that leaking ductwork can waste 20 to 30 percent of conditioned air. In South Florida where your AC runs 10 to 12 months per year, that translates to hundreds of dollars in wasted electricity annually. When conditioned air leaks into your attic instead of reaching your rooms, your AC compressor runs longer and harder to compensate. Repairing duct leaks is one of the fastest ways to lower your FPL bill without replacing any equipment.
Do you repair flex duct or metal duct?
+
We repair both. Most Miami homes built after 1990 use flex duct (the flexible insulated tubes running through the attic). Older homes, commercial buildings, and some custom-built homes use galvanized sheet metal ductwork. We carry parts and materials for both types on our trucks. Flex duct repairs typically involve replacing crushed or torn sections, re-supporting sagging runs, and re-sealing connections. Metal duct repairs involve patching corrosion holes, re-sealing separated joints, and replacing damaged sections.
How long does duct repair take?
+
Most duct repair jobs take 2 to 4 hours depending on the number of damaged sections and accessibility. A single disconnected joint in an accessible attic can be repaired in under an hour. More extensive damage involving multiple duct runs, insulation replacement, or hard-to-reach locations may take a full day. We give you a time estimate during the free diagnostic so you know what to expect before we start.
Is duct repair covered by home insurance?
+
It depends on the cause of damage. Duct damage caused by a covered peril such as storm damage, fallen tree, fire, or water damage from a burst pipe is typically covered by homeowner insurance. Duct damage from normal wear and tear, aging, poor original installation, or pest activity is usually not covered. We provide detailed repair documentation and photographs that your insurance company may need for a claim. Many customers have successfully filed claims using our diagnostic reports.
Can you repair ducts without replacing them?
+
In most cases, yes. We always try to repair first because it saves you money. Small holes, loose connections, separated joints, and minor insulation damage can all be repaired without replacing the duct section. We only recommend replacement when the ductwork is too corroded, too crushed, or too deteriorated for a repair to hold long term. Our diagnostic inspection tells you exactly which sections can be repaired and which need replacement, so you never pay for more work than necessary.
Do you repair ducts in attics and crawl spaces?
+
Yes. Attic duct repair is one of our most common jobs in Miami. Florida attics reach 140 to 160 degrees in summer, which accelerates duct deterioration and makes insulation failures especially costly because the temperature difference between the attic and the conditioned air inside the duct is extreme. We carry portable lighting, protective equipment, and all repair materials into the attic. For crawl space work, we have the tools and experience to work in confined spaces safely.
What is the difference between duct repair and duct sealing?
+
Duct sealing addresses air leaks at joints, seams, and connections using mastic sealant or metal-backed tape. It fixes where air escapes at connection points. Duct repair is broader: it includes sealing but also covers physical damage like crushed flex duct, corroded metal sections, torn duct material, insulation replacement, and re-supporting sagging duct runs. If your ducts have minor leaks at joints,
sealing may be enough. If you have physical damage, you need duct repair. Our free diagnostic tells you which you need.
