In short
When should ductwork be replaced instead of cleaned?
Replacement is for when the duct itself is the problem. A cleaning takes lint, dust and blockages out of ductwork that is still sound, but it cannot close a leak, reopen a crushed section or hold together flex duct that is falling apart. If the inspection finds that, the fix is to remove the failed ductwork and put in new, which is what Ecovent Dryer Duct Solutions Orlando does for houses and businesses across Orange County, from Maitland and Winter Park to Meadow Woods.
Each replacement begins with an inspection of the whole system, so you know which runs have failed and which are fine before anything is removed. The failed ductwork comes out and the new ductwork goes in, fitted properly instead of patched. Sound ducts get cleaned and failed ones get replaced, and the inspection decides which is which. The quote is free and you can say no.
Clean or replace
What does replacing a duct do that cleaning cannot?
We do both, and they are different jobs. One deals with what sits inside the duct. The other swaps the duct itself.
| Question | Cleaning | Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Takes lint, dust and blockages out of sound ducts | Takes out failed ducts and puts in new ones |
| Begins with | An assessment of the system | An inspection of the system |
| When it is the answer | The duct is whole but dirty | The duct leaks, is crushed or has come apart |
| What you end up with | The same ducts, clean | New runs where the old ones failed |
How it works
How does a duct replacement go?
Three steps, in this order. Nothing is removed until the inspection shows it has failed.
Inspection
The whole system is checked before anything comes out, to find which runs have failed and which are sound. The free quote is built from what it finds.
Removal
Only the runs that leak, have been crushed or have come apart are taken out.
Installation
New ductwork goes in where the failed runs were, fitted and sealed properly instead of patched.
131,980
homes in the twelve places we serve were built before 1990, 39.2% of the total. Older ductwork is the ductwork most worth inspecting before anyone cleans it.

Price
What sets the price of a duct replacement?
No two systems match, so there is no single figure to publish. Here is what moves the quote, and what every replacement includes.
How much has failed
One crushed run is a different job from a system where most of the flex duct has given out. The inspection counts the runs that have to go.
Getting into the attic
New ductwork goes where the old runs were, which is usually the attic. How easy that space is to reach and move in sets how long the work takes.
The size of the system
A bigger system means more runs to take out, more to install and more registers to connect. The inspection measures it before you see a price.

Questions
Before a duct replacement
How do I know my ducts have failed?
Rooms that barely get air while others are fine, a register that blows weakly, dust or insulation coming out of a grille, or a section of flex duct in the attic lying flat or pulled off its connection. The inspection confirms it, and tells you whether cleaning would help or whether the run has to be replaced.
What does a duct replacement include?
An inspection of the whole system, removal of the ductwork that has failed, and new ductwork installed and sealed properly. The quote beforehand is free and binds you to nothing, and houses and businesses across Orange County get the same scope.
Clean my ducts or replace them?
Clean them when the ducts are sound and the trouble is what is inside: lint, dust or a blockage. Replace them when the duct itself has failed: a leak, a crushed run, flex duct coming apart. Cleaning cannot repair those. If you are unsure which you have, the inspection answers it, and it is the first step of every replacement.
Is the quote free?
Yes. Every quote is free and carries no obligation, for a replacement just as for a cleaning. What moves the price is how much ductwork has failed, how easy the attic is to work in and how big the system is.
A failed duct will not come clean, so the run gets replaced.
An inspection first, then the failed ductwork out and the new ductwork in. The quote costs nothing.
