Common Questions
Ductwork Installation FAQ
Everything Charlotte homeowners need to know about ductwork installation
How much does new ductwork cost in Charlotte?
Complete ductwork replacement costs $4,000-$8,000 for standard homes, $8,000-$12,000 for larger or multi-story homes. Costs vary by home size, layout, and accessibility. Free estimates, transparent pricing. Financing from $45/month.
When should I replace my ductwork instead of repairing?
Replace if: ducts are 20+ years old with multiple issues, severely damaged/collapsed, poorly designed causing persistent comfort problems, or when replacing your HVAC system. Charlotte homes with asbestos duct wrap should consider replacement for safety.
How long does ductwork installation take?
New construction: 1-2 days. Complete replacement in existing homes: 2-4 days depending on complexity and attic/crawlspace access. We work efficiently but prioritize quality—proper sizing, sealing, and insulation are critical for performance.
Do you design custom ductwork systems?
Absolutely! We perform Manual D duct design calculations based on your home's layout, HVAC capacity, and airflow requirements. Proper design prevents hot/cold rooms, noise, and efficiency problems. We don't guess—we calculate and design correctly.
What type of ductwork is best for Charlotte homes?
Depends on location and budget. Attics: insulated flex duct (cost-effective, easier installation). Basements/interior: rigid metal (lasts longer, better airflow). We recommend based on your specific situation, not what's easiest for us to install.
Do you handle permits for ductwork installation?
Yes! We pull all necessary permits for ductwork in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. This is included in our pricing. Permits ensure proper installation, code compliance, and protect your home value. Some companies skip permits—risky and illegal.
Can you install ductwork in a home that currently has none?
Yes! Many Charlotte homes have window units or ductless systems. We design and install complete duct systems for retrofits. This is complex work requiring experience with home layouts, structural considerations, and creative routing—we specialize in it.
How important is ductwork insulation in Charlotte?
Critical! Charlotte attics reach 130°F+ in summer. Uninsulated ducts in that heat lose massive cooling. We use R-6 to R-8 insulated ductwork in unconditioned spaces (attics, crawlspaces). This prevents energy waste and condensation problems.
Will new ductwork improve my HVAC efficiency?
Dramatically! Old, leaky ductwork wastes 20-40% of your HVAC capacity. New, properly sized and sealed ductwork delivers full system capacity, improves comfort, reduces energy bills, and extends HVAC lifespan. Often the best investment you can make.
Can you replace ductwork without damaging my ceilings?
Usually yes! Most Charlotte ductwork is in attics or crawlspaces that we access from there. Occasionally we need small access panels, but we minimize interior work and patch professionally. We protect your home during all work.
Do you remove and dispose of old ductwork?
Absolutely! Complete removal and disposal of old ductwork is included when replacing. We haul away old flex duct, metal work, and any asbestos-wrapped ducts (following proper abatement procedures). No hidden fees.
How do you size ductwork properly?
We perform Manual D calculations using your home's square footage, room sizes, window exposure, insulation, and HVAC capacity. Each room gets proper supply and return based on cooling/heating needs. Guessing causes problems—we calculate correctly.
What warranty comes with new ductwork?
We provide 1-year labor warranty on installation. Materials carry manufacturer warranties. Quality ductwork installation lasts 20-30+ years with minimal maintenance. We stand behind our work—we're a family-owned business, not here today gone tomorrow.
Can you install zoned ductwork systems?
Yes! Zoned systems use dampers to control temperature by room or area. Perfect for Charlotte homes with bonus rooms, additions, or multi-story layouts. We design and install complete zoning solutions including dampers, thermostats, and control panels.
Why choose Kodiak for ductwork installation?
We're family-owned and do it right the first time. Proper duct design using Manual D calculations, quality materials, professional installation, and honest recommendations. No cutting corners—we live in Charlotte too and our reputation matters.
