Service illustration · not a completed customer projectTHE WORK, EXPLAINED
Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
Have the duct material identified before discussing a cleaning approach. Ask how the proposed equipment suits that material and which damaged or inaccessible sections need a separate assessment. Compare any repair or replacement recommendation with the condition record rather than assuming all duct construction can be treated alike.
What may be involved
- sheet metal duct
- flex duct
- fiberglass liner
- duct board
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 / Lake Como
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. Lake Como 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.
