Dirty or leaky ducts waste energy, spread allergens, and shorten your AC’s life.

Most homes have never had a duct inspection or cleaning. Years of dust, debris, and allergens can build up, affecting your health, comfort, and utility bills. And if you’re replacing your AC, don’t skip the ducts — otherwise, your new system will just recycle old pollutants!

★ (407) 465-7777Common signs of ductwork problems in Orlando homes include uneven temperatures between rooms, dusty air from vents, higher-than-normal FPL bills, whistling or rattling sounds from ducts, and visible duct damage or disconnection in the attic. The average Orlando home loses 20–30% of conditioned air through leaky ducts.
Professional duct cleaning in Orlando costs $300–$600 for a typical home. This includes cleaning all supply and return ducts, registers, and the main trunk line. Smart Home Air & Heat uses truck-mounted equipment for thorough cleaning and can treat ducts with antimicrobial solutions for mold prevention.
Yes, especially in Florida. Orlando’s high humidity creates ideal conditions for mold growth inside ductwork, and Florida’s year-round pollen means allergens accumulate faster. The EPA recommends duct cleaning when there is visible mold, excessive dust, or after renovations. Most Orlando homes benefit from cleaning every 3–5 years.
Duct repair in Orlando typically costs $200–$800 per section, while full ductwork replacement for a typical Orlando home costs $2,000–$5,000. Duct sealing with Aeroseal technology costs $1,500–$2,500 and can reduce air leakage by up to 90%. Smart Home Air & Heat provides free ductwork inspections.
If your ductwork is over 15 years old, improperly sized, or has significant leaks, replacing it with your new AC is recommended. New high-efficiency AC systems cannot perform optimally with old, leaky ducts. Smart Home Air & Heat evaluates your existing ductwork during every installation estimate and recommends replacement only when it will meaningfully improve performance.
