Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
Ask which existing openings can support the agreed assessment or cleaning and why any additional access is proposed. The scope can identify the opening locations, material constraints and responsibility for closing and insulating them afterward. Confirm how access limitations and restoration work will be documented.
What may be involved
- access doors
- access ports
- seals
- insulation
Ask the provider to distinguish existing parts to inspect, proposed replacements, and tools, materials or reports included in the service. Confirm the work and exclusions after assessment; this list does not mean that every item will be supplied or replaced.
LOCAL RESEARCH / Colonialtown North
Planning your work
The City of Orlando's permitting pages state that the State of Florida requires a permit for most projects, even small ones, and that a project valued above $5,000 needs a Notice of Commencement filed with the Orange County Comptroller before work starts. For duct and air-handler work, ask which permit type the scope falls under before anything is ordered. Colonialtown North sits inside Orange County, and some addresses near the city line are unincorporated and permitted by the county instead — confirm which building department covers the address. This is the authority's published guidance, not a determination about a particular property.

Before the visit
Building age and weather cannot establish duct contamination. The system itself needs to be inspected.
