Start with the condition.
Understand the scope.
Discuss the identified component and assessment findings with the responsible HVAC professional. Ask what cleaning is proposed, what access and equipment limitations apply and which checks fall within that professional scope. A general duct-service description does not establish the condition or suitability for use of a heat exchanger.
What may be involved
- heat exchanger
- access panel
- qualified HVAC assessment
- written scope
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 Eola Heights
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 Eola Heights 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.
