How do I know if my ducts leak?
Ducts are out of sight in the attic or under the home, so leaks go unnoticed for years. Watch for:
- One or two rooms that are always warmer than the rest
- Dust that comes back days after cleaning
- A musty smell, or high humidity even when the AC runs
- Ducts in the attic or under the home that are crushed, kinked, sagging or disconnected
- Bills climbing with no change in how you use the AC
- A hot, humid attic or crawlspace pulling air into the return
A duct leakage test pressurises the system and measures how much air escapes, so you're not guessing.
What about manufactured-home belly ducts?
Manufactured homes, including many in Pinellas Park's parks and around the Mainlands, run a main duct through the underside of the home, inside the belly wrap. Over time it sags, crossover ducts come loose, animals get in, and the wrap tears. You end up cooling the space under the house. We reconnect and seal crossovers, repair or replace the belly duct, and patch the underbelly.

What does duct repair or replacement cost?
Duke Energy reports that its customers pay about $400–$600 on average to repair leaky ducts. Full duct replacement in Tampa Bay typically runs $3,000–$8,000, depending on home size, access and how many runs need replacing.
Typical Tampa Bay market estimates, not quotes. Ranges are drawn from published 2026 Tampa Bay and Pinellas County pricing guides. Your actual price depends on your system and home, and we write it down for you to approve before any work starts.
Does Duke pay for duct repair?
Duke Energy's duct program offers up to $50 toward a $100 duct test and up to $400 toward duct repair per system. The work has to be done by a Duke-approved contractor, after a Duke Home Energy Check, in a home with all-electric heating and cooling. AC Pinellas Park is a Duke Energy approved contractor, so we can run the test and the repair under the program for homes that qualify. We confirm eligibility and the current terms with you before work starts. Duke duct test and repair program.
Does Pinellas Park require a permit for duct work?
Yes, in many cases. The city requires a permit for duct alteration or replacement over $500 in value, and publishes a Duct Seal Certificate form on its Forms and Applications page. Small repairs often fall under that threshold. When a permit is needed, we pull it and include it in your price.
Repair, seal or replace?
| Situation | Usual fix |
|---|---|
| A few loose joints or a disconnected run | Reconnect and seal with mastic |
| Leaks spread across the system | Seal the whole system, then retest |
| Crushed, torn or wet flex duct | Replace the damaged runs |
| Old, undersized or failing system throughout | Full duct replacement, ideally with a new AC |
We test before and after, so you can see the difference in leakage rather than taking our word for it.
Should I fix ducts before replacing my AC?
Usually, yes. A new high-efficiency system on leaky ducts won't deliver its rated efficiency or comfort, because cooled air is lost in the attic or under the home. If you're planning a replacement, we check the ducts at the same visit and price both, so you can do them together.
