Duct Replacement in Dunwoody
Duct Replacement is a common job for Dunwoody homeowners, especially in neighborhoods like Georgetown where original 1980s round metal ducts are reaching the end of their useful life. The work involves removing deteriorated sections of ductwork, installing new insulated flex duct or properly wrapped metal, sealing every joint to stop conditioned air from leaking into the attic, and testing the system’s airflow before we leave. In Dunwoody, we most often replace ducts that have failed due to condensation, rust, or tears at the connection collars.
Expect a typical partial duct replacement in Dunwoody to run $450 – $1,200 depending on accessibility and run length. A full system replacement in a larger two-story home can reach $2,500 – $4,500. We write the exact price down before any work begins, so you’ll never get a surprise invoice.
When Your 1980s Ducts Are Done
Many Dunwoody homes built in the 1970s through the 1990s still run their original flexible ductwork. That material becomes brittle over three or four decades of hot attic summers. It tears at the collar, pulls in humid attic air, and condensation follows. You might notice musty smells even after changing your air filter. That’s a replacement signal, not a cleaning issue.
What We Move Out of the Way
Dunwoody attics are tight, and crawlspaces are tighter. We handle both, and we protect your home while doing it. Lay-down cloths in hallways, boot covers on feet, and a full cleanup of old insulation and debris before we leave. The old ductwork goes with us, not into your attic.
Ductwork Installation in Dunwoody
Ductwork Installation in Dunwoody covers everything from adding a single supply run to a stuffy bedroom to installing an entirely new duct system in a home that’s been renovated or had an HVAC replacement. The goal is a system that delivers even temperatures to every room, with properly sized returns so the blower motor doesn’t work itself to death pulling air through undersized openings. In Dunwoody, that’s a real problem: many original homes have returns that are far too small for modern air conditioning demands.
A single new supply run typically costs $300 – $700 in Dunwoody. Installing a complete duct system for a full home runs $3,000 – $6,500 depending on square footage, accessibility, and whether we’re working around slab foundations or through crawlspaces. Same written-price rule applies: you’ll know the exact cost before we start.

New Homes Built Wrong
We’ve walked into Dunwoody homes that are only a few months old and found drywall dust caked inside the supply registers. That’s debris from construction, and the builder should have removed it before you closed. Our installation team uses negative-pressure extraction equipment from Nikro to pull that dust out and then seals every joint so the system runs clean from day one.
Crawlspace Considerations
Homes in Dunwoody with crawlspaces present a specific challenge: ductwork running through humid, unconditioned space where moisture wraps the insulation and causes rust on metal runs. We seal and insulate crawlspace ductwork with materials rated for those conditions, not whatever’s cheapest at the supply house.
Trusted Brands We Service in Dunwoody
We work with equipment and products from Nikro, Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Abatement Technologies, and we keep parts stocked locally so a Dunwoody job doesn’t stall while we wait on a shipment, including supplies for Carrier repair in Dunwoody. When we install a Honeywell filter cabinet during a duct repair, we’re putting in something that’ll keep doing its job for years. When we use Abatement Technologies HEPA equipment, we’re removing contaminants, not just covering them up. And because we’re an independent location within the Threshold Group, we choose the right product for your home’s specific problem, not whatever the national account says we should push this quarter.

AfterCommon Air Duct Repair Problems We See in Dunwoody Homes
- Rusted Georgetown metal ducts. The original round metal ducts in 1980s Georgetown homes have insulation that fails after decades of attic humidity, and the metal sweats right through it. That rust and moisture is what you smell, not your coils, and no amount of coil cleaning will fix it. The fix is replacing or reinsulating those rusted runs.
- Brittle 1970s – 1990s flex duct. Homes throughout Dunwoody, from Mount Vernon Road to Ashford Dunwoody Road, have original flexible ductwork that tears at the collar after thirty or forty years of attic heat. The tear pulls in hot, humid air that condenses inside the supply ducts and feeds mold. The leak isn’t something you can see from inside the house. We find it with a camera.
- Undersized returns on slab foundations. Dunwoody’s slab-built homes often have return ducts that were sized for a smaller system than what’s installed today. The blower strains, pulls outside air through every unsealed penetration, and rooms stay unevenly warm. A patch job on the leaks doesn’t fix the airflow problem. A proper repair addresses the whole path.
- Builder-left debris in new construction. In Dunwoody’s newer neighborhoods, we see drywall dust and plastic scraps inside supply and return ducts at handover. If it’s not HEPA-vacuumed and agitated out before the first cooling season, it cakes onto the blower motor and registers within months. If your new home smells dusty the first time the AC kicks on, that’s why.

FAQs About Air Duct Repair in Dunwoody
Georgetown’s original 1980s homes were built with round metal ducts wrapped in fiberglass insulation, and after four decades of humid Georgia attics, that insulation fails and lets condensation soak the metal. The result is rust and a musty smell that homeowners often mistake for dirty coils. If you live in Georgetown and your vents smell damp, the most likely fix is replacing or reinsulating those metal runs, and that’s a repair we do regularly. Call (912) 493-7110 for a camera inspection and an honest answer.
Yes, the builder should have cleaned the ducts before you moved in, but most do not, and Dunwoody’s newer subdivisions are full of homes where drywall dust and plastic debris were left inside the supply and return ducts at handover. If that debris is not removed with HEPA vacuuming and agitation tools before the first cooling season, it will cake onto the blower motor and restrict airflow. We can remove it and seal the system so it stays clean. Call (912) 493-7110 for a free estimate.
Yes, and this is one of the most common issues we find in Dunwoody attics. Original flex duct tears at the collar, pulls in hot, humid attic air, and sends it straight into the rooms that should be cooling the most. A new filter will not change that. The fix is finding the tear, cutting out the damaged section, and installing new insulated flex with sealed joints, and that’s a same-day job for our Air Duct Repair team when parts are on the truck. Call (912) 493-7110 to schedule a camera inspection.
If your ducts are torn, rusted, collapsed, or caked with construction debris, cleaning will not fix the problem, and any company that sells you a cleaning without looking is guessing. Our crew responded to a Georgetown home off Dunwoody Club Drive where the owner was convinced the air handler needed a coil cleaning, but a camera inspection of the supply and return ducts showed the real culprit: deteriorated fiberglass wrap on the original round metal ducts was soaked and rusting after decades of attic condensation. We replaced the affected runs with new insulated flex duct, sealed the joints to NADCA standards, and the musty odor vanished within a day. That’s the difference between repair and cleaning. Call (912) 493-7110 and we’ll tell you which one you actually need.
Dunwoody’s thick tree canopy dumps a heavy pollen load every spring, and that pollen gets pulled into any duct leak where it mixes with the humidity that’s already condensing inside your attic runs. The coating accelerates mold growth and reduces airflow faster than in suburbs with less tree cover. If you’re noticing yellow dust around your supply registers, you’ve likely got both a leak and a pollen buildup, and sealing the leak is the first step before deep cleaning. Call (912) 493-7110 to schedule an inspection.
