Simple ductwork cost estimator
Plan a ductwork replacement budget by home size
Choose the approximate size of the home to see a simple planning range based on roughly $600 per duct.
- Most projects total about $3,000–$7,000.
- Large homes or difficult attic access may exceed $7,000.
- Final pricing follows an on-site duct count and condition review.
Estimated duct countAbout 8–10 ducts
Installed planning range$4,800–$6,000
Home size is only a starting point. Layout, returns, duct type, access, damage and redesign needs determine the final scope.
Call for a ductwork estimateWhat changes the price
Count the ducts, then review the installation conditions
The estimator uses roughly $600 per duct for early planning. The final price depends on the actual duct count, condition, access, returns and whether the layout needs correction.
Damage, leaks and insulation
Torn, disconnected, crushed or poorly insulated ductwork may need targeted repair or replacement rather than cleaning.
Attic access and working space
Tight access, long runs and difficult installation areas can increase labor beyond the basic per-duct planning amount.
Airflow and return-air needs
A duct replacement should address room comfort, airflow balance and return-air needs instead of copying a poor layout.
Ductwork installation process
From a simple range to a clear project scope
A useful ductwork estimate should explain what needs repair, what needs replacement and why the recommended layout supports better airflow.
Review the home and symptoms
Start with home size, uneven rooms, weak airflow, visible damage and whether the project is repair, replacement or a new layout.
Count and inspect the duct runs
The on-site review confirms accessible duct runs, returns, insulation, connections, attic conditions and redesign needs.
Prepare a clear installation scope
The proposal separates targeted work from full replacement and explains what is included before installation begins.

Repair, replace, or redesign?
Choose the amount of ductwork the home actually needs
Not every project requires full replacement. The inspection separates isolated damage from system-wide deterioration or layout problems.
Targeted repair
Best when only a few accessible runs or connections are damaged and the overall layout still works.
Full replacement
Best when damage, leaks, deteriorated insulation or repeated airflow problems affect much of the duct system.
New duct layout
Best for additions, remodels, new construction or homes where the existing design does not support balanced airflow.

Still unsure? Call usHow much does ductwork replacement cost in Southwest Florida?
Most residential projects plan around $3,000–$7,000. Using approximately $600 per duct, a small home with 5–7 ducts may plan around $3,000–$4,200, a medium home with 8–10 ducts around $4,800–$6,000, and a large home with 11–14 or more ducts around $6,600–$8,400 or more. Final pricing requires an on-site count and condition review.
Is ductwork priced only by square footage?
No. Home size is an easy starting point, but the actual price depends on duct count, returns, layout, material, access, damage, insulation and whether the system needs redesign. Two homes with the same square footage can require different scopes.
What is the difference between duct cleaning and duct replacement?
Cleaning addresses dust, odors or buildup inside ductwork that is still structurally usable. Replacement addresses torn, crushed, disconnected, leaking, deteriorated or poorly designed ductwork. An inspection helps determine which service fits the condition.
Can only the damaged ducts be replaced?
Sometimes. Targeted repair or replacement may make sense when damage is limited and the remaining layout, insulation and connections are in good condition. Widespread deterioration or airflow problems may justify a larger replacement scope.
Why can a large ductwork project exceed $7,000?
More duct runs, additional returns, tight attic access, long runs, damaged insulation, removal work or a redesigned layout can increase material and labor beyond the typical range.
Are the installed prices exact?
The ranges ($6,000–$17,500 by system size) are honest planning figures that include equipment, labor, old-unit removal, permit and inspection, a hurricane-rated pad, and a 10-year warranty. The exact price comes from a free in-home evaluation with a load calculation — in writing, before you decide.
Is the replacement estimate really free?
Yes — the in-home replacement estimate is free with no trip charge. We measure the home and hand you an exact written price with no obligation. You can also see your planning range online first with the 30-second estimator.
How is ductwork priced?
