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 / Winter Park
Planning your work
Winter Park's permit guide treats replacing garage doors and replacing exterior windows or doors as alterations that need a permit, while listing re-glazing windows and doors among the items that do not. It also states that starting work without a permit carries a penalty of triple the permit fee. For duct and air-handler work, agree with the provider who applies for the permit and confirm the current scope with the city, as the published guide cites an earlier Florida Building Code edition.

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