Air Duct Replacement in Houston

Airflow, Sizing, and Comfort

Right sizing is not guesswork. Rooms need a certain amount of air based on square footage, windows, and exposure. In Houston, west facing rooms often need more supply air in summer. Large open areas in River Oaks, Memorial, and Meyerland may need multiple supplies. Our goal is even temperatures and dry, cool air without your AC working itself to death.

We focus on

• Correct duct diameter per room
• Adequate return air to feed the system
• Smooth transitions at plenums and takeoffs
• Tight seals to stop leaks
• Good register placement for proper throw and mixing

Have you ever felt a blast of cold air at your feet but the room still feels muggy? That is usually poor mixing and low airflow. Correct sizing and placement solve that.

How Fast Can We Replace Ducts

Many standard single story homes in Houston can be completed the same day. Two story homes or full system reroutes may take one to two days. Here is a typical timeline

• Morning Arrival, protect floors, confirm plan, remove old ducts
• Midday Install new plenums and main trunks, run new flex ducts
• Afternoon Seal, support, and insulate connections, balance system, test
• End of day Walkthrough, cleanup, photos

We always keep you updated. No surprises.

Pricing That Makes Sense

Every home is different, but here are typical ranges we see in the Houston area for Air Duct Replacement

• Small home or partial replacement 1,200 to 2,500
• Average single story home 2,500 to 5,000
• Larger home or full reroute 5,000 to 9,000+
• Add a new return run 450 to 900
• Replace or rebuild a plenum 350 to 900

What affects the price

• Number of supply and return runs
• Need for new plenums or boots
• Attic access and working space
• Route length and obstacles
• Mold remediation or pest cleanup if present
• Two story versus single story

We give firm quotes before any work begins. No add ons without your approval. Want a second option at a different price point? Ask us and we will show you the tradeoffs.

Replacement vs Repair vs Cleaning

Repair can be enough if

• One or two runs are crushed or torn
• Collars need resealing
• Boots need to be sealed to the ceiling

Cleaning can help if

• Ducts are fairly new and tight
• Dust is from construction or a recent remodel
• Filters were neglected but ducts are not damaged

Replacement is the smarter move if

• Ducts are 15 to 20 years old or older
• Insulation is falling off or missing
• Mold is present inside duct liner
• Runs are undersized or poorly routed
• You have consistent hot and cold rooms
• Energy bills keep climbing and repairs have not helped

Health and Indoor Air Quality

Leaky or dirty ducts pull in attic dust, fiberglass fibers, and who knows what else. That air bypasses your filter and lands in your lungs and on your furniture. In our humid climate, small duct leaks can draw in moist attic air, which leads to mildew and odors.

New, sealed ducts protect your air. Rated filter grilles and proper returns help keep your coil clean. Better airflow helps your system remove humidity faster, which makes your home feel cooler at the same temperature. Your sinuses and your energy bill both win.

Do you or a family member deal with allergies or asthma? Tighter ducts and better filtration can make a real difference in day to day comfort. Learn more about indoor air on this EPA resource.

Houston Scenarios We See Every Week

• The Heights bungalow with a warm back bedroom. Old 5 inch run replaced with a straight 7 inch run and upsized return. Even temps restored.
• Sugar Land two story with a weak upstairs. Undersized main trunk replaced, added a second return upstairs. Stronger airflow and quieter operation.
• Cypress home after a roof leak. Wet duct board plenum rebuilt, moldy flex replaced, humidity issues cleared.
• Pearland ranch with dust everywhere. Leaky boots sealed to drywall, new flex ducts installed, dust settled down and surfaces stayed clean longer.
• Clear Lake home near the bay. Salt air had rusted metal fittings. New collars and sealed connections stopped whistling and leaks.

Your home may be different, but the root causes are often the same. Bad paths, small diameters, leaks, and weak returns.

Duct Options That Fit Your Space

We match the solution to your home

• Flex ducts for attic runs, insulated to R-8
• Sheet metal trunks where longer, straight runs make sense
• Duct board plenums that fit your air handler like a glove
• Rigid round metal where moisture risk is higher
• Balancing dampers where tuning is needed
• Low profile boots for tight ceiling spaces

Each material has a job. We pick what fits the space and the airflow goals, not just what is on the truck.

New Ducts for Remodels and Additions

Adding a room over the garage in Memorial or finishing a bonus room in Katy? We can extend or rework ducts to serve the new space the right way. We will confirm your current system has enough capacity and that returns are not starved. If needed, we add a return or adjust duct sizes so the whole home stays balanced.

Planning a kitchen remodel in Bellaire or a primary suite in West University? Bring us in early to plan vent locations, grille styles, and register throws. Good placement keeps supply air from blowing straight on a seating area or cooking surface.
