Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.
Fast, Reliable Air Duct Repair Across Lantana
Air duct repair in Lantana typically runs $275 – $650 for sealing disconnected runs, replacing cracked flex duct sections, and repairing corroded plenum connections. Most jobs are completed in a single visit. If you live in a post-war CBS home near the Lake Worth Lagoon or along Lantana Road, there’s a good chance your duct system has problems you can’t see from the living room. We’re the team that finds them, explains them plainly, and fixes them with a written price before any work begins. Call (980) 447-2498 for a free estimate.
Lantana’s specific conditions make duct repair more than a once-a-decade task. Salt-laden air off the Intracoastal, attics that hit 130 – 150°F in summer, and decades-old flex duct mean your system is working against the climate every single day. Our Air Duct Repair crew knows exactly what that does to a home’s ductwork. We’re not guessing. We’ve seen it, opened it up, and fixed it in homes from Hypoluxo Island to the streets off Lantana Road.

Ductwork Installation in Lantana
Ductwork Installation in Lantana means replacing or adding duct runs in homes where the original system simply cannot be repaired economically. In a 1960s concrete-block house off Lantana Road, the original flex duct has often spent five or six decades in an unconditioned attic. The liner cracks, the insulation falls away, and the system pulls hot, humid attic air into your living space. When three or more runs are compromised, a full replacement typically makes more sense than patching. Plan on $1,800 – $4,200 for a standard single-family Lantana home, depending on the number of runs and accessibility.
Replacement of Failed Flex Runs
We pull out the old, cracked duct and install new insulated flex matched to your current system. This is common in Lantana rentals and older homes where deferred maintenance has left ducts sagging and disconnected. The work usually takes a full day, and the price is fixed before we start.
Sealing and Rewiring Disconnected Sections
Sometimes the duct itself is salvageable, but the connections have failed. We re-secure collars, re-tape joints with code-approved materials, and reattach runs to register boots. This is often the real fix for the window-unit-to-central retrofits we find near the Lagoon.
HVAC Duct Installation in Lantana
HVAC Duct Installation in Lantana covers the full integration of new duct runs into your existing central air system, including plenum work, register boots, and balancing. We see this most often in homes where a wall or window AC was replaced by a central unit years ago, but the duct layout was never properly rebuilt. The result is a mismatched system that leaks air, strains the blower, and pulls attic contaminants into the house. Cost typically falls between $2,200 and $5,500 for a full install in a modest Lantana home, depending on layout and run count.
Plenum and Boot Replacement
The plenum is the metal box that connects your air handler to the duct runs. In Lantana’s salt air, these corrode. We replace the plenum, install new boots at the registers, and seal everything with mastic so the system actually holds air.
Retrofit Corrections
Older Lagoon-side homes often have duct runs that were sized for window units, not a central system. We correct the layout, replace undersized flex, and seal the connections so your air handler isn’t fighting itself. The difference in airflow is immediate.
Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
Our crews run professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush and Nikro. We also specify and install air-quality components from Honeywell and Aprilaire when a Lantana home needs filtration upgrades alongside duct repair. We keep common replacement parts stocked for the brands and housing styles we see across Palm Beach County, which means less waiting for your repair. If your system has a corroded boot, a failed plenum connection, or crushed flex run, we can usually source and install what’s needed on the first visit. Call (980) 447-2498 to talk through what you’re dealing with.
Common Air Duct Repair Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Cracked flex duct liners in superheated attics. Lantana’s 130 – 150°F attic temperatures bake the plastic liner until it splits. The cracks pull insulation fibers, mold spores, and pest waste straight into the airstream, and you smell it or see dust on the registers.
- Window-unit-to-central retrofit failures. Homes near the Lake Worth Lagoon and along Lantana Road often had window units converted to central air decades ago. The duct runs don’t match, the joints are taped and failed, and the system has been pulling attic air for years.
- Corroded metal components from salt air. The Intracoastal is less than a mile away, and the salt-laden air eats at plenum connections, register boots, and metal collars. With AC running 10+ months a year, the damp interior never dries, and corrosion accelerates.
- Crushed and disconnected runs in rental properties. Lantana’s stock of small concrete-block rentals often misses maintenance for years. By the time we’re called, the blower is choked, the registers barely move air, and several runs are collapsed or completely detached.
Pricing for Air Duct Repair in Lantana, FL
A straight duct repair in Lantana, like sealing a disconnected joint or reconnecting a run, typically costs $275 – $650. Replacing cracked flex runs runs $350 – $900 per run depending on length and attic access. Full ductwork installation in a modest CBS home lands between $1,800 and $4,200. A complete HVAC duct installation with plenum and boot work falls between $2,200 and $5,500.
What changes the price: attic accessibility (tight Lantana attics with low clearance cost more in labor), the number of failed connections, whether the plenum needs replacement, and whether your home needs the retrofit corrected. We give you one flat price per system before work starts. No per-vent pricing. No surprise invoice at the end. Call (980) 447-2498 for an exact quote; estimates are free.

FAQs About Air Duct Repair in Lantana
Salt-laden air from the Intracoastal corrodes metal duct components and keeps interior duct surfaces damp year-round, while the high attic heat bakes flex duct liners until they crack. That combination accelerates mold colonization and liner failure faster than in drier inland communities. If you live east of Dixie Highway or near the Lagoon, you’ll likely need duct inspection and repair more frequently than homeowners in Greenacres or Royal Palm Beach.
Yes. During a cleaning, we run camera inspection equipment through the supply and return ducts under negative pressure. Disconnected runs, sagging flex, and open plenum connections show up clearly. Many Lantana homeowners call us for a cleaning and discover they actually need sealing work or a duct replacement. We’ll show you the images before we recommend anything. Call (980) 447-2498 to schedule an inspection.
The fix is replacing the cracked runs with new insulated flex duct and sealing all connections with mastic at the plenum and register boots. This is not a patch job. Running new duct eliminates the tears that pull insulation fibers and mold spores into your living space. In the bungalows along Lantana Road, our techs opened the air handler closet and found the supply plenum had been pieced together from a window-unit retrofit years ago: flex runs sagging, joints taped and long failed, and a return cavity open to the superheated attic. We ran camera inspection and agitation tools through the supply and return ducts under negative pressure, sealed the plenum connections, and reconnected the crushed run to the register boot. Airflow at the registers came back and the musty odor cleared on the next cycle.
It does. We regularly replace corroded metal plenum connections, register boots, and collars in Lantana homes. The salt air near the Lagoon eats at galvanized metal over time, creating rust-through points where the duct separates from the air handler or the register. The liner fails from heat, but the metal fails from salt. Both need to be addressed for a repair that holds. That repair is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing.
If your registers barely move air, you smell a musty odor when the AC cycles, you see dust blowing from the vents, or certain rooms never cool properly, you likely have a duct problem, not just a dirty system. A cleaning removes accumulated debris. A repair fixes the structural failure that keeps pulling more debris in. We inspect during every cleaning and show you exactly what we find. Call (980) 447-2498 and we’ll help you figure out which one you actually need.
