Notes
- Where the number comes from. The national price for a ductwork replacement is $35 per linear feet of duct — residential duct replacement pricing published for 2026, $22–$58 per linear foot installed. Labor is about 65% of that. Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers near Leawood, KS average $64,870 a year against a U.S. mean of $64,780 — a factor of 1.001 — so the labor half is scaled by that and the material half is not. Source: BLS OEWS May 2025 for the Kansas City, MO-KS metro area, SOC 49-9021.
- Why the city matters, not just the state. Trade pay moves inside a state as much as it does between states. Crews do not commute across a state to bid a job, and materials ship at national prices either way — so a metro wage is the honest input here and a state average quietly rounds four different cities into one number.
- Design temperatures. 95°F summer and 2°F winter at Olathe / Clare — the two numbers a Manual J starts from, and the reason equipment sized for one city is wrong in another.
- What is in the price: trunk and branch duct, fittings, hangers, mastic sealing, registers and grilles, and labor.
- What is not: the air handler or furnace, a new return path where none exists, asbestos abatement on old duct wrap, and any drywall work. These are the lines that turn a $5,255 quote into a $6,568 invoice, so ask about each one before signing.
- Use this as a bid check, not a quote. It prices an average job in average condition. Difficult access, the state of what is being replaced, the season, and a crew booked out three months all move the real number, and none of them are in a per-unit average.

$5,255 is the typical number, and three bids on the same scope normally land between $3,303 and $8,708.

Why the city changes the number
About 65% of this job is labor — $3,416 of the $5,255 above. Labor is the only part that moves locally; a bundle of material costs what it costs wherever it is nailed down.
Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers near Leawood average $64,870 a year, against a U.S. mean of $64,780. That is a factor of 1.001, so the labor half is scaled by it and the material half is not.

Use it as a bid check, not a quote
This prices an average job in average condition. Access, the state of what is being replaced, the season, and a crew booked out three months all move the real number, and none of them are in a national average.
If a bid lands outside $3,303 – $8,708, that is not automatically wrong — but it is the question worth asking out loud.
