Why ducts matter in a Tampa Bay attic

In many Tampa Bay homes the ducts run through a hot attic, so a leak does double damage: cooled air escapes, and attic air gets pulled back in.

  • Leaks add up. ENERGY STAR says that in a typical house about 20 to 30 percent of the air that moves through the duct system is lost to leaks, holes and poorly connected ducts (source).
  • R-6 is our standard. About 98% of the duct replacements we do use R-6 flex, which passes Hillsborough County inspection. R-8 is an upgrade at $699 per drop.
  • One day. Duct replacements, and AC plus duct replacements, finish in a single day because we send more than one crew.
  • We clean up. We haul away the old ductwork, and the old AC system on a combined job.

More in our guides: duct repair vs replacement and why the house is humid with the AC on.

House dusty, humid or musty?

Call or text, day or night. A tech will find the cause for FREE, and you approve the price before any work begins.

Humidity and indoor air

We find the cause before recommending equipment. Often the fix is a duct repair, a better filter or a setting change, not a new product.

  • Whole-home dehumidifierThe AprilAire E100 removes up to 100 pints a day and runs with your system. It is $4,545 installed, and we do not sell a cheaper whole-house model.
  • UV lightA UV light aimed at the evaporator coil helps keep mold and bacteria from growing on the wet coil and drain pan. $449, or $399 with our $50 off special.
  • Air purifiersWhole-home purifiers mount in the system: the iWave-R is $1,399, the REME HALO-LED is $1,499 and the APCO-X with a coil UV light is $2,699.
  • FiltersA better filter only helps if the system can still move enough air through it, so we match the filter to the system.
  • Attic insulationBlown-in insulation to R-38 helps keep attic heat away from the living space and the ducts below it.
  • Pay over timeFinancing with rates from 0% APR on approved credit through Wisetack, plus GoodLeap and PACE in participating areas. See financing options.

Ductwork and air quality questions

How much does duct replacement cost in Tampa?

About 98% of the duct replacements we do use R-6 flex duct at $599 per drop; R-8 is an upgrade at $699 per drop. A partial replacement usually runs $2,800 to $4,400, and a full duct replacement $7,200 to $11,700. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection, and the permit fee is billed separately.

How long does duct replacement take?

One day. Duct replacements, and AC plus duct replacements, finish in a single day because we send more than one crew. We haul the old ductwork away.

Is R-6 duct good enough in Florida?

R-6 flex passes Hillsborough County inspection, and it is what we install on about 98% of duct replacements. R-8 adds more insulation for ducts in a hot attic and costs $699 per drop instead of $599.

How do I know if my ducts are leaking?

Common signs are rooms that never cool, dust that comes back fast, rising bills and a humid house. ENERGY STAR says a typical duct system loses about 20 to 30 percent of its air to leaks, holes and poor connections. A tech can check your ducts during a FREE diagnosis.

Do you clean air ducts?

Yes. Our Value, Premium and Elite duct cleaning packages are $90, $130 or $180 per drop. Premium adds duct sanitation and a new UV light in the unit, and Elite adds an air handler coil cleaning. If your ducts do not need cleaning, we will tell you.

How much is a whole-home dehumidifier?

We install the AprilAire E100, which removes up to 100 pints a day, for $4,545 installed. We do not sell a cheaper whole-house model.

Do UV lights help with mold in the AC?

A UV light aimed at the evaporator coil helps keep mold and bacteria from growing on the wet coil and drain pan. Our UV light air treatment system is $449, or $399 with our current $50 off special.

Do you install whole-house air purifiers?

Yes. We install whole-home purifiers in the duct system: the iWave-R is $1,399, the REME HALO-LED is $1,499 installed and the APCO-X with a coil UV light is $2,699.

How much does dryer vent cleaning cost?

Dryer vent cleaning is $299 when we can reach the vent at ground level and $449 when we clean it from the roof.

Do you install attic insulation?

Yes. We blow in attic insulation to R-38 and quote it in writing after measuring the attic.

Can I finance duct replacement or a dehumidifier?

Yes. Wisetack offers rates from 0% APR on approved credit, and GoodLeap and PACE in participating areas are also options. See our financing page for the details of each.
