Choose the Fully Licensed Professionals at IKE's

The air duct system in your house is often hidden from the sight of all who benefit from its heating and cooling abilities. But make no mistake, this system is one of the most crucial in your entire home. Think of an air duct system as a large and heavily trafficked highway, with exits that deliver conditioned or heated air along the way.  If you did not have air ducts, there would be no way for the central unit to convey warm or cool air to the different areas of your house. The problem is that even the best duct systems need to be replaced occasionally, if they have become too old or worn. 

Fortunately, our reliable veteran-owned team at IKE’S Air Conditioning can give you excellent duct replacement in San Antonio for when you need it most.

Do Your Air Ducts Need Repair or Replacement?

It might feel like a frustrating headache to think about dealing with a full replacement of your ducts. However, it is far easier, and less expensive, to fix an air duct problem before it becomes a full-fledged catastrophe. If you notice that your air ducts have experienced a lot of repair work lately, then it may be time to get a replacement before everything breaks down completely. Particularly if your system is several years old, it’s best to be proactive.

In some cases, it may be necessary to replace your ductwork when replacing your air conditioning unit. This is due to factors such as the age, size, and layout of your system. Replacing your ductwork along with the AC will ensure maximum efficiency and air quality.

How Often Should AC Ducts Be Replaced?

You should replace your AC ducts every 10-15 years or sooner if you notice any signs of damage or wear. Regularly cleaning dirty and clogged ducts can help prevent air quality issues and reduce energy waste. Additionally, conducting regular maintenance and inspections can help extend the lifespan of your AC ducts.

Signs Your San Antonio Home Needs A Duct Replacement

It is essential to recognize the warning signals that your air ducts needs attention, and possibly a replacement, so that you are not left stranded without an HVAC system. Keep an eye out for any of the following, reaching out to our San Antonio air duct installation specialists at the first sign of a problem. 

How Do I Know if My Ductwork Needs to Be Replaced?


  • The temperature between different rooms can vary drastically – Cracked or leaky vents will make your house either too hot or too cold. When the damage is too great, your entire ductwork could collapse.
  • There are strange and unpleasant smells emerging from the air duct vents – This usually happens when there is a hole or crack allowing allergens and pollutants to come in through the ducts. As they pass out through the vents, this creates an acrid, burning smell.
  • Energy costs have greatly increased – When your bills for energy usage have skyrocketed without any major increase of usage, this means that your system has become inefficient and overloaded. If there is ever any drop within air pressure, the number of particulates will force your AC to work harder than ever before.

If your ductwork is exhibiting any signs of a problem, reach out to our team for assistance. IKE'S Air Conditioning are proud members of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) and licensed as Air Conditioning Contractors by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. That means that our duct replacement technicians are fully trained and equipped to work with your air ducts safely and effectively to ensure your home gets better indoor air quality fast. 

How Much Is Duct Replacement?

The cost to replace air ducts can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including the size and complexity of the system and if any additional materials are needed for installation. The type of materials used in the ductwork, how accessible the air ducts are, labor, whether you have a zoned system, and the size of your property will also influence duct replacement costs. If vents need to be installed or insulation added, the cost of the installation could also be affected. For more information on what a replacement might entail, give our experienced San Antonio team a call. 

How Hard Is It To Replace Ductwork?

Replacing ductwork in Texas can vary in difficulty depending on several factors such as the size of the property, the complexity of the existing duct system, and any specific challenges that may arise during the replacement process. If you’re considering replacing your ductwork as your next DIY project, think again!

Replacing ductwork requires specialized knowledge and skills. It is generally not recommended for homeowners to attempt replacing ductwork on their own unless they have professional experience in HVAC systems and ductwork installation.

There are several reasons why replacing ductwork is best left to trained professionals:

  1. Expertise: HVAC professionals have the knowledge and expertise to assess the condition of the existing ductwork, determine the appropriate size and design for the new ducts, and ensure proper installation. They understand the complexities of airflow, duct sizing, and system balancing, which are crucial for optimal HVAC performance.
  2. Tools and Equipment: HVAC professionals have access to specialized tools and equipment that are required for ductwork replacement. These tools enable them to cut, seal, and secure the ducts properly, ensuring efficient airflow and minimizing the risk of leaks.
  3. Safety Considerations: Working with ductwork involves handling sharp edges, insulation materials, and potential exposure to dust and contaminants. HVAC professionals are trained to follow safety protocols and use protective gear to minimize the risk of injuries or health hazards.
  4. Compliance with Building Codes: Ductwork replacement must comply with local building codes and regulations. HVAC professionals are knowledgeable about these requirements and can ensure that the new ductwork meets the necessary standards.

Attempting to replace ductwork on your own without the expertise and tools can result in subpar performance, inefficient airflow, increased energy costs, and potential safety hazards. It's always advisable to consult and hire a professional HVAC company or air duct replacement technician who can assess your specific needs, recommend the right solutions, and carry out the ductwork replacement safely and effectively.

Do You Need To Replace Ductwork When Replacing AC?

Replacing ductwork when replacing an AC system depends on several factors, including the condition of the existing ductwork and the compatibility with the new AC system. In some cases, replacing the ductwork may be recommended or necessary to ensure optimal performance and efficiency of the new AC system. 

Here are a few situations where replacing ductwork might be recommended:

  1. If the existing ductwork is damaged, leaking, poorly designed, or incompatible with the new AC system, it may need to be replaced. Damaged or leaking ducts can lead to energy losses, reduced cooling/heating efficiency, and uneven airflow. In such cases, replacing the ductwork can improve the overall performance of the HVAC system.
  2. If the existing ducts are undersized or oversized for the new system, it can result in inefficient airflow, reduced comfort, and potential strain on the AC unit. In such situations, replacing or modifying the ductwork may be necessary to ensure proper sizing and airflow.
  3. New AC systems may have different requirements or features compared to older systems. For example, if the new AC system utilizes different air distribution methods (such as variable refrigerant flow or ductless mini-split systems), the existing ductwork may not be compatible. In such cases, replacing the ductwork or modifying it to accommodate the new system may be required.
