When people ask me if they have to replace their ductwork when they get a new air conditioning system, I ask them a few things. How is the airflow in the house? Are there any hot or cold spots? Meaning do you have a bedroom or an office that doesn't get enough air? Balanced air distribution is important to an even temperature all around the house. When you replace your ductwork altogether, you can spend anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 depending on which HVAC company you go with. You can just change one or two ducts. You don't have to change the ductwork every time you get a new central air conditioning system. I tell people your ductwork’s life averages about 30 years. Check out a few things first:
• The ducts are strapped properly or lying on the floor of the attic.
• Those ducts are straight, not bent or kinked, restricting airflow.
• The duct’s vapor lining on the outside of the duct is not torn or melted.
• Good to decent insulation, which maintains the temperature of the air as it heads towards the room that duct leads to.
