Styles & brands we work with
HVAC Duct Installation
HVAC Duct Installation is the process of designing and fitting a complete ductwork system that moves conditioned air from your central unit to every room in your West Palm Beach home. You need this when your existing ducts are beyond repair, when you’re building an addition, or when a previous homeowner installed ductwork that was undersized or badly sealed from the start. Linden Air Duct West Palm Beach handles new installation from rough-in to final register placement, and we price the whole job before we start, typically in the $2,000 to $6,000 range for a full single-family home depending on square footage and attic access. Every installation follows Florida energy code and includes mastic sealing at every joint, not just foil tape that peels in the humidity.
New Construction and Additions
If you’re adding a bedroom over the garage or finishing a loft space, the existing system often can’t carry the load. We calculate the new room’s CFM requirement and either extend the current ductwork or upgrade the trunk line so the addition actually gets air. Marcus Veale has walked through enough West Palm Beach additions to know when a fix works and when a full redesign is the honest answer.
Undersized Systems and Airflow Fixes
Homes in neighborhoods like Flamingo Park and Grandview Heights were built decades ago, and many still have the original duct diameters. That means hot rooms in August and a system that runs constantly. We inspect, measure, and replace undersized runs with properly sized sheet metal or flex duct so your system can finally do what it was sized for.
Air Duct Replacement
Air Duct Replacement is what happens when a section of ductwork is too far gone to patch, typically because of mold, rodent damage, or years of accumulated dust and debris baked onto the interior walls. In West Palm Beach, the coastal humidity makes this worse: ducts in unconditioned attics sweat, condensation settles, and eventually the insulation jacket breaks down. Linden Air Duct West Palm Beach, also serving Air Duct Repair - Greenacres customers, replaces only what needs replacing, not a foot more, and a full replacement usually runs $1,800 to $4,500 for most homes in the area. We use the same professional-grade materials whether we’re swapping one run or redoing the whole system.
Mold and Moisture Damage
When humidity sits inside ductwork, mold can take hold and your vents start pushing spores into your living spaces. Replacing contaminated sections with new, properly insulated ductwork is the actual fix, and we recommend it over spraying chemicals that mask the problem for a few weeks. In humid coastal communities like West Palm Beach, getting the insulation value right matters as much as the metal itself.
Rat and Rodent Intrusion
Rats in attics are a reality across Palm Beach Air Duct Repair service areas, and they chew through flex duct like it’s nothing. We see the damage all the time: shredded duct jackets, droppings inside the runs, and air leaking into the attic instead of your rooms. The repair involves removing the damaged sections, sealing entry points where the ductwork passes through framing, and installing new runs with protective jacketing. We’ll also point out the entry signs so you can address the source.
Ductwork Repair
Ductwork Repair is the targeted fix for specific failures in your existing system: separated joints, crushed sections, loose hangers, leaking plenums, and gaps at the register boots. It’s usually the most cost-effective route for West Palm Beach homeowners because most duct systems have a few problem areas, not total failure. Linden Air Duct West Palm Beach does ductwork repair daily, and the work typically runs $250 to $900 depending on the number of failures and how tight the attic access is. We find the leak, show you photos of the problem, and quote the repair before we make it.
Leak Sealing and Joint Repair
A duct joint that’s separated by even half an inch can dump 20% or more of your conditioned air straight into the attic. That’s money you’re spending to cool insulation. We use mastic and mechanical fasteners, not just tape, to reseal joints, and we test for air loss again before we come down from the attic.
Crushed and Restricted Runs
Storage boxes, old HVAC equipment replacements, and careless previous work all crush flex duct. A crushed run forces your system to push harder, which shortens blower motor life and leaves certain rooms starved for air. We replace the crushed section with properly supported ductwork and add hangers where the old ones were missing or spaced too far apart.
Duct Replacement
Duct Replacement is the full or near-full swap of your home’s ductwork, and it’s the right call when repairs would leave you with a patchwork system that’s still inefficient. In West Palm Beach, many homes from the 1970s and 1980s still run on original metal duct wrapped in long-degraded insulation, and the energy loss is substantial. Linden Air Duct West Palm Beach replaces entire systems with properly sized, code-compliant ductwork, and a complete replacement for an average single-family home runs $2,000 to $6,000. The job takes one to three days depending on attic condition and system length, and you know the exact scope before we begin.
Age and Efficiency Upgrades
Ductwork has a realistic service life of 20 to 30 years, and in this Florida climate the humidity shaves years off that number. If your ducts are older than that, you’re likely losing 25 to 30 percent of your cooled air to the attic. We replace aged systems with modern, insulated ductwork that meets today’s energy standards and gives your AC unit a chance to actually cool the house.
System Redesign
Some homes were ducted badly from the beginning: wrong trunk line sizes, too many bends, flex runs stretched too far. When that’s the case, a straight swap won’t fix the underlying problem. We redesign the layout to match the system’s actual airflow needs, and the result is even temperatures throughout the house for the first time in years.
Ductwork Installation
Ductwork Installation covers the job when a home has no existing ducts at all, or when the current system is being completely abandoned in favor of a new layout. Common scenarios in West Palm Beach include converting a window-unit home to central air, or upgrading from a ducted system so undersized that reusing any of it would be false economy. Linden Air Duct West Palm Beach installs complete ductwork systems from the supply and return plenums to the last register boot, and full-home installation runs $2,500 to $6,500 in this market. Every installation is designed for the specific heat load your house carries, not pulled from a one-size-fits-all template.
Conversions and Full System Installations
An older West Palm Beach home that’s run on window units or a through-wall system for decades is a real candidate for central air. The ductwork comes first: trunk lines, branch runs, return paths, and properly sized register placement. We handle the full rough-in and coordinate with your chosen HVAC contractor so the equipment and the ductwork actually work together.
Ductwork for Heat Pump and AC Upgrades
When you’re replacing an old air handler with a higher-efficiency heat pump, the ductwork often needs to change too. Newer systems move air differently, and connecting them to undersized or poorly routed ductwork kills the efficiency you paid for. We measure static pressure and airflow before and after installation to verify the system is performing.
Brands We Service
We work with Rotobrush equipment for air duct cleaning and Nikro for industrial-grade vacuum and inspection tools, which means we can see exactly what’s inside your ducts before we make any repair recommendation. That matters in West Palm Beach, where ducts collect everything from construction dust to pest debris, and a blind recommendation is worse than none at all. When it comes to air-quality products, we install and maintain equipment from Honeywell, Aprilaire, Abatement Technologies, and Guardsman, so whole-home filtration and UV purification are options we can discuss with you honestly.
Marcus Veale and his team service all major duct and HVAC equipment makes. Whether you have a custom sheet metal system, flex duct from a national installer, or a mix of both, we can repair and replace it. There’s no brand loyalty penalty and no “that’s not our system” refusal. If it moves air through your home, we work on it.

- Rooms that never reach the thermostat temperature. If your bedroom stays at 78 degrees while the thermostat reads 74, you likely have a leak or a disconnected run. The system is working, but the air is going somewhere other than your rooms. That somewhere is usually the attic.
- Visible dust around your vents. Dark streaks or gray dust on walls and ceilings near registers point to duct leaks pulling in attic dust and blowing it into your living spaces. Sealing the ductwork fixes it, and cleaning the system afterward keeps the dust from recirculating.
- Your electric bill has jumped without explanation. A duct leak of 20 to 30 percent forces your system to run longer to hit the same temperature. If the FPL bill is climbing and nothing else changed, the ductwork is the most common culprit in West Palm Beach homes.
- You hear rattling or flapping from the attic. Loose hanger straps and sagging duct runs make noise when the system cycles. Left alone, the sag gets worse and the duct can separate at a joint, spilling all your conditioned air into the attic.
- Musty smells when the system kicks on. That’s usually condensation inside the ductwork or a return pulling air from somewhere damp. In this climate, it doesn’t take long for mildew to follow. The fix is finding the source of the moisture and repairing or replacing the affected duct sections.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
You call and talk to a person. A live person answers at (728) 231-8154 any hour. We ask a few questions about what you’re seeing, hearing, or smelling, and we give you a realistic expectation of what a technician will check. No script, no call center.
- 2
You get the tech’s name and photo before the visit. The technician assigned to your job is background-checked, identity-verified, and you’ll see who’s coming before they arrive. At the door, they show a photo ID badge that matches the person you saw in the photo. Every single time.
- 3
The technician inspects your full duct system. We start at the air handler and follow the ductwork through the attic, checking joints, hangers, boots, and returns. We use camera inspection equipment to see inside ducts without cutting exploratory holes, and we document what we find with photos.
- 4
You see the problems and approve a written price. We show you photos of the damaged or failed sections and explain what’s happening in plain language. Then you get a written price for the specific repair, not an estimate that changes when the van shows up. No work begins until you say yes.
- 5
We repair, test, and stand behind the work. After the repair, we test airflow and seal integrity at the repair points. Every air duct repair is covered by a written guarantee for 365 days under the Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails, the second visit is free. No fine print on that.
How Much Does Air Duct Repair Cost in West Palm Beach?
A typical duct repair in West Palm Beach runs $250 to $900, covering the majority of joints, tears, and crushed sections we encounter. When multiple runs need replacing, the job climbs to $1,000 to $2,000. Full duct replacement or new installation for an entire home runs $2,000 to $6,500 depending on square footage, duct length, attic conditions, and whether we’re working with flex or sheet metal.
What affects the price most is access. A tight attic with low clearance and blown-in insulation takes longer to work in than an open, floored space. The number of repair points matters too: one separated joint is a quick fix, but six leaks across four rooms means more material, more time, and more testing. And the type of duct matters. Sheet metal repairs involve cutting and fitting metal sections, while flex duct is faster but often needs more hanger work.
The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a price in writing before the work starts and to ask whether the price covers the full repair or just the first step. Some companies quote low numbers for “basic service” and then add materials, disposal, and labor after the fact. We don’t do that. The written quote covers the entire repair. Your estimate is free, and it comes with photos of the problem so you can see what we’re seeing. Call (728) 231-8154 to schedule one.
