Two published frames, named apart and never blended
| Frame | What it prices | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Frame A | professional duct sealing, per project | $375-$6,000 |
| Frame A | average project, as reported | about $2,250 |
| Frame B | manual sealing, per project | $400-$1,900 |
| Frame B | aerosol sealing, per project | $1,300-$2,700 |
Frame A counts completed projects across methods and Frame B counts the method lanes: the two land differently as a counting difference. Method lines sit on the by-method guide; pacing lines on the breakdown guide.
Frame A lines, as reported
| Frame A line, as published | Reading | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Professional duct sealing | per project | $375-$6,000 |
| Average project | per project | about $2,250 |
| Stated drivers: method, home size, duct accessibility | driver note | counted inside both Frame A readings |
Frame A is the reported-project reading: one wide band across methods, with one average beside it. Its stated drivers are method, home size, and duct accessibility, named as drivers in its own reporting and printed here as a driver note, not as priced lines of their own.
Frame B lines, as reported
| Frame B line, as published | Reading | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Manual sealing | per project, by method | $400-$1,900 |
| Aerosol sealing | per project, by method | $1,300-$2,700 |
| Project band counted across methods | per project | no priced line printed |
| Average project counted across methods | per project | no priced line printed |
Frame B is the method-lane reading: its ductwork cost guide prints a sealing table with one band per method and no across-method band or average beside it. No Frame B lane is averaged into a Frame A reading, and no line from either frame is summed into a new total on any page of this cluster.
Quoted as its own project, on a narrower intent
This project is quoted in Orange County as a named, separately sold project: sealing the leaks in ductwork that stays in place. It carries a California Title 24 sealing and testing adjacency on equipment changeouts, and the query concentrates in the county's older tract stock with attic duct runs. Intent is narrower than the duct-replacement lane, and narrower than a whole-system purchase.
The neighbours, differentiated head-on
No live page here prices sealing the leaks in existing ductwork -- that is this cluster's border, named plainly. The ductwork replacement page prices ductwork replacement: removing and replacing duct runs, not sealing existing runs. The duct cleaning page prices duct cleaning, a service visit on a duct system, not a sealing project. The equipment replacement page prices the heating and cooling equipment itself; the Title 24 page names sealing and testing as context inside that purchase, never as a priced project; no neighbour is read as coverage here.

Frequently asked questions
How much does professional duct sealing cost in Orange County?
Two frames, never blended. Frame A, the Angi frame: professional duct sealing at $375 to $6,000 per project, with an average of about $2,250. Frame B, the HomeGuide frame: manual sealing at $400 to $1,900 and aerosol sealing at $1,300 to $2,700, priced by method.
Why do the two frames print such different bands for this project?
Counting. Frame A counts completed projects across methods and prints one band of $375 to $6,000 with an average of about $2,250. Frame B counts the method lanes and prints manual sealing at $400 to $1,900 and aerosol sealing at $1,300 to $2,700. The spread is the counting difference; the frames are never blended.
What drivers does Frame A name for its band, as reported?
Method, home size, and duct accessibility, named as the stated drivers in Frame A's own reporting. Each driver is printed on the breakdown guide as a pacing line; no driver carries a priced band of its own in either frame.
Is duct sealing the same purchase as duct cleaning or ductwork replacement?
No, head-on: the duct-cleaning page prices cleaning a duct system as a service visit, and the ductwork-replacement cluster prices removing and replacing duct runs. This cluster prices only sealing the leaks in existing ductwork -- no cleaning visit and no replacement run is counted in any band here.
Where do the by-method and breakdown lines sit, as reported?
The method lines -- manual sealing of accessible runs and aerosol sealing of a whole system -- sit on the by-method guide. The leakage-testing, sealing-labor, access, and system-size pacing lines sit on the breakdown guide. Each table stays on its own page.
