Asbestos in or on HVAC ducts (air ducts or heating and cooling ductwork) or inside the air handler (blower unit) itself is a possible hazard for which we provide information, photos, & links to additional documents.
This article shows how to recognize asbestos materials in heating and air conditioning ducts, vibration dampers, chimneys, and flues, and air handlers or blower compartments, and it identifies potential asbestos fiber release or carbon monoxide hazards in buildings where certain asbestos and cement-asbestos transite pipe materials are used for ducts or for heating appliance chimneys and vents.
This is part of our article series that describes the inspection of residential air conditioning systems (A/C systems) to inform home buyers, owners, and home inspectors of common cooling system defects.

The photograph shows asbestos paper heating duct wrap.
Asbestos in these locations is a possible hazard which may require special attention, particularly if the paper has been damaged as we show here - where it may shed asbestos particles into occupied space.
Asbestos paper used as HVAC air duct wrap or sealant typically is about 15% chrysotile asbestos.
Depending on its location and on the effectiveness of and location of air filters in the heating or air conditioning system and also particularly if that paper is in the air path and more-so if it's damaged, the asbestos paper may be releasing asbestos particles into HVAC system air as it circulates into the building.
Here we also warn about signs of amateur asbestos removal which may merit additional testing and cleanup work.
Also see ASBESTOS PAPER INSULATION on DUCTS and
see VIBRATION DAMPENERS for more discussion of this possible asbestos source.
Another example of asbestos duct wrap is shown in this photograph.
During an inspection of the heating or air conditioning duct system and air handler, look for what may be asbestos containing insulating material on the heating system.
Often the space between floor joists, ceiling joists, or even wall studs is simply covered over with sheet metal and used as an air return duct in HVAC systems.
Occasionally we find other asbestos materials routed inside these spaces, sharing the HVAC system air path to route pipes that have themselves been insulated with asbestos wrap or lagging.
Photo: we have pulled down the aluminum sheet metal that was nailed across a pair of joists supporting the floor over the basement of a Haddonfield New Jersey home. Inside we see water-damaged cloth-wrapped asbestos pipe insulation in poor condition.
Watch out: this condition risks distributing asbestos into the building's air and thus exposing occupants to airborne asbestos.
Because this places potentially friable asbestos material right in the building's HVAC air path the air conditioner or heating system in such buildings is at risk of producing and distributing asbestos in air blown into the occupied space.
This is therefore a potentially dangerous source of indoor airborne asbestos. The risk of distributing asbestos into the building interior air depends on the kind of asbestos-containing materials in the return duct and their condition.
For example, cement asbestos transite pipe air ducts or flues that are un-damaged are likely to shed considerably less asbestos particles than corrugated paper pipe wrap or asbestos pipe lagging that has been damaged by leaks or by mechanical disturbance.
A reader asked if there was an asbestos-exposure risk from having these acoustic ceiling tiles used (probably as an "insulation" liner) inside of the air supply ducts in his home.
While it's unusual, on occasion the space between floor or ceiling joists or wall studs was also covered-over for use as heating air supply ductwork in some older homes.
If the ceiling tiles shown above contain asbestos this would be an asbestos-exposure risk for building occupants. More discussion of these ceiling tiles in air ductwork is
I am getting different opinions on [whether or not ] my duct work [contains an asbestos paper liner].
Do you think [this duct uses ] asbestos ?
And if it is asbestos is it dangerous?
The home where this ductwork was installed was constructed in New Jersey in 1967.

I think I see metal ductwork on the floor of an attic of an older building.
Your first photo shows metal ductwork that is crushed and bent. In that condition it's not usable and may not be safe.
I zoomed in to see as much as I could of the duct liner in the second of your photos that I will show below.
It's uncommon to find hemp (burlap) reinforced corrugated asbestos paper insulation inside of metal ductwork but that is certainly what it looks like to me.
And indeed in the U.S. the Illinois DEC indicates that asbestos was used as both an insulation and an air leak sealant both on the exterior of HVAC ducts and in the duct interiors.
In sum, my best guess is that this is an asbestos duct material about 3/16" thick that is covered on both sides with metal foil or very thin aluminum constructed in a spiral wind pattern. It's the closer look (yellow arrow in the photo below) that shows what looks like corrugated asbestos paper comprising the body of this duct wall.
It would be helpful to have more information including the country and city where the building is located, whether this is a private home or something else, and the age of the home. I'd also like to see a photo of the furnace but I suspect it's long gone.
Usually one can not say for certain whether a material is asbestos or not without a lab test. But there are some cases where there was no non-asbestos look-alike product.
One of these is asbestos insulating paper which is gray, has a characteristic texture and is flat where used on the outside of hvac ducts and also is in a corrugated paper form on piping. You can see some examples at
ASBESTOS PIPE-INSULATION - this article shows corrugated asbestos paper (used here as a pipe wrap) that you will see virtually duplicated in pattern in the corrugated paper exposed at the left end of the duct section in your photo.
ASBESTOS PAPER DUCT INSULATION - shows the use of flat asbestos paper on duct exteriors.
In any event, rather than face a costly asbestos removal project to modify the duct work, what I would expect any sensible contractor to suggest is something that's needed in any event, regardless of the duct insulation: the duct you show is crushed, damaged, not usable.
It would make sense to bag and remove the duct sections intact, with as little disturbance as possible.
If your heating system needs to run ducts through an attic space it would make sense to install new metal ductwork with exterior insulation.
Watch out: What makes asbestos a health hazard or not depends on the exposure of people in the building to asbestos dust. I can see that some of the ductwork has already been removed as your photo shows it on a porch floor. And I agree that such damaged ductwork should be properly removed from the home.
If, in the removal of this damaged ductwork, the remediator is not creating a dusty mess then the risk levels are very low.
That's why when you are removing old ductwork that appears to contain asbestos you want to do it by taking out intact duct sections rather than doing anything aggressive (chopping, sanding sawing) that creates a lot of dust.
The following is excerpted from advice from the Oregon DEA
If you think a significant amount of asbestos has been released in your home:
Health impacts that are typically associated with being exposed to asbestos comes primarily from working for long periods of time around very high concentrations of fibers. Your health should not be impacted by a single exposure to asbestos fibers, but if you are concerned, please consult your doctor. - (Oregon DEQ 2017)
Watch out: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency previously provided various asbestos remediation and removal or encapsulation guidelines but as of December 2017 an online search for commonly-indexed documents is producing hung connections - you may be able however to obtain printed copies from your local EPA office.

ASBESTOS PAPER DUCT INSULATION
[Click to enlarge any image]
Asbestos on Ducts, Health Concern: While there may be no conclusive data nor studies which evaluate hazards regarding the mere presence of this material in residential buildings, it is generally considered by the scientific community to be a potential health risk if building occupants are likely to be exposed to significant levels of airborne asbestos dust.
If there is asbestos paper wrap on the exterior of HVAC ducts the risks are low, as we will explain below.
Watch out: If there is asbestos paper or a corrugated asbestos insulation liner inside of HVAC ducts that is likely to be hazardous. Such ductwork should be removed intact (by a qualified contractor) and replaced.
Watch out: demolition or removal of asbestos-covered or asbestos-lined HVAC ducts requires use of appropriate asbestos removal procedures including containment of the dust and debris and steps to avoid building cross-contamination into other areas.
The asbestos paper "insulating" duct wrap such as shown in several of these photographs is typically 55% chrysotile asbestos (as defined in OAR 340-248-0010(5)). Contractors who remove such ductwork without following proper procedures may be liable to civil penalties and litigation. (Oregon DEQ to Gelber 2016).
Asbestos paper like that shown here was often used both to insulate HVAC ducts and to seal openings against air leaks.
So we see this paper wrapped around the air supply register (first photo in this article-section), or asbestos paper wrapped around the ductwork itself. Photo below courtesy of an InspectApedia.com reader.
We also find narrow strips of asbestos paper that was wet and then wrapped around joints in HVAC ducts to seal against air leaks.
When this paper is on the exterior of an HVAC air supply duct the risks of blowing asbestos into the building's HVAC air system are low. That's because when the air conditioner or heating system blower unit is running the supply duct interior will be under positive pressure. Any small openings that expose the exterior asbestos paper wrap to the duct interior will be blowing out - away from the duct interior.
However if this asbestos paper is on the exterior of a return air duct, because the return duct will normally be under negative pressure when the air handler or blower unit is running, there is some risk that asbestos could be drawn into the returning air. However the absolute risk from intact asbestos-paper exterior duct wrap over a small opening in return ducts is probably very small.
More significant exposure risks occur when such materials are actually inside the ductwork or inside of the air handler itself - for which we give examples in this article series.
More identifying photographs and information about the use of asbestos paper on heating and cooling air ducts, and advice on what to do about asbestos paper duct wrap are found
at ASBESTOS PAPER DUCT INSULATION.
Asbestos heating system insulation is also a potential economic risk as future buyers may be concerned about this material. Disposal costs for this material are increasing.
Depending on condition and location of asbestos material, treatment ranges from doing nothing to complete removal. Removal could involve significant costs.
You should obtain proper technical information and health and safety guidelines before attempting to do anything with this material. It is the breathing of fibers when this material is disturbed, not its mere presence, which is considered a health risk.
When the material is not found in living areas in poor condition, treatment is not usually an emergency and you have ample time to become informed, obtain estimates, and select a course of action.
Among asbestos products used in heating or air conditioning air handlers and blowers, we suspect that vibration dampeners, especially in undamaged condition, are likely to release much lower levels of asbestos particles into the HVAC system air than the softer insulating materials found in some air handlers themselves.
Details are at VIBRATION DAMPENERS
We have observed friable asbestos inside older warm air heating furnaces made by Williamson (corrugated asbestos paper insulation inside the air handler of an older unit) and by Armstrong (asbestos insulation around the flue vent connector passage through the air handler's blower compartment side wall - photo shown at left), and in some other brands of heating equipment.
We have also found asbestos insulation in the air handler of some Armstrong furnaces.
But in our OPINION even in the air handler, depending on the size or amount, condition (undamaged), and location, the release into building air of asbestos from these sources may be very difficult to detect - suggesting that in those cases it is at very low levels, below measurable effect.
Watch out: if there are corrosion leaks or any other openings in the flue vent connector where it passes through the furnace return air side, depending on the blower location, several very dangerous conditions can occur, including carbon monoxide production at the burner due to back pressure, or the reverse: negative air pressure (such as will occur in the furnace shown) when the blower is running can extract combustion gases right out of the flue and draw them into building air being passed through the furnace heat exchanger.
Below is a photo of a coated (note the silver color) asbestos-fabric air handler vibration damper. This fabric is right in the air pathway and should probably be removed.
See details at VIBRATION DAMPENERS
While the transite pipe shown here was in use as an exhaust flue (what is the fire rating and fire clearance required?), this material was also used in some buildings for in-slab duct work -
see SLAB DUCTWORK .
Caution: Down flow furnace in building with concrete slab and with perimeter duct work raises questions: what is the duct work made of ? Is asbestos material found right in the air pathway in a building? If so there are higher risks of airborne asbestos contamination in that building than otherwise.
Transite chimney Carbon Monoxide Hazards: where used for chimneys in buildings, transite pipe may form a very serious, potentially fatal carbon monoxide hazard due to chimney blockage.
We explain how and why the carbon monoxide poisoning hazard develops in our article
at TRANSITE ASBESTOS CHIMNEYS, DUCTS, PIPES where we provide additional photographs of this material.
Transite Duct Asbestos Hazards: if used for air ducts transite pipe may be a an asbestos hazard, particularly where the ducts become softened by water exposure (such as air ducts located in floor slabs), potentially releasing asbestos fibers into the building air.
See TRANSITE PIPE AIR DUCT ASBESTOS RISKS for details.
Sonno Duct (spun composition material) may have absorbed water, collapsed, and be blocking the duct line and potentially inviting a termite infestation or a mold contamination problem in the building.
More identification photographs of transite pipe in buildings can be found
at TRANSITE PIPE AIR DUCT ASBESTOS RISKS
Asbestos cement sheets were also used in some buildings to construct rectangular heating supply and return air ducts as weas documented by Elizalde:
Often intact asbestos-paper-wrapped air ducts might be left in place and encapsulated by a suitable paint, coating, or wrap.
Exterior asbestos paper duct wrap or tape that is damaged or disturbed presents a risk of asbestos contamination.
[OPINION - as this advice would change when informed by specific site conditions]
Photo: corrugated paper in an amateur installation on the exterior of a heating air duct in a New York home, provided by an InspectApedia reader. We think this asbestos insulation and heating duct were added in 1963 or 1964. [Click to enlarge any image]
IF the asbestos material is not falling off and creating a mess,
AND
IF the asbestos duct wrap material is not in a location where it's likely to be banged, moved, damaged (thus creating a hazard) and it is not in the air path of the HVAC equipment
THEN
You can usually leave supply duct insulation in place, coating it with a spray-on paint, coating, or wrapping it if it's in a location where it can be wrapped with any suitable duct seal, even aluminum tape.
For the asbestos-insulated HVAC duct shown above, an option might be to box in the exposed ductwork to prevent damage. IF this were a return-air duct I'd replace the duct and its asbestos lining rather than risk drawing asbestos debris into the heating system's air path.
ELSE
[this means there is probably a reason to remove the asbestos material]
If your asbestos-paper-wrapped HVAC ducts look like our photo you'll see that the duct itself is badly rusted, the asbestos wrap is in poor condition, and there seems to be an efflorescence or other bloom forming on the insulation as well. This ductwork should be replaced.
The least disruptive and least expensive way to remove the material is to work carefully to remove the ductwork itself that is covered in asbestos, in intact sections, with absolute minimum number of cuts or disturbances, for bagging and disposal.
That process is perhaps done by a professional using negative air control to avoid cross contamination, proper bagging and legal disposal, followed by damp wiping and HEPA vacuuming to remove any questionable dust.
First: confirm that the material is indeed asbestos and that its condition or location requires its removal.
If the asbestos-suspect material seen in a building is confirmed as actual asbestos or an asbestos-containing product, depending on its condition and location, treatment ranges from doing nothing to complete removal.
Professional asbestos removal would involve significant costs and is the recommended course of action where asbestos materials are damaged, friable, in a location subject to damage, in an occupied space, and/or in an unoccupied location where asbestos debris is likely to be carried into occupied space by human traffic or by the operation of heating and cooling equipment.
A number of asbestos treatment options are available where asbestos material is found in a building.
Choice of treatment can make a big difference in possible costs of handling the material. You should obtain proper technical information and health and safety guidelines before attempting to do anything with this material.
(July 15, 2018) Does this contain asbestos? said:
I found this in the attic. The HVAC guys thinks it might have been part of the old ductwork.
Not sure where it leads to, but suspecting that it leads to a hole in a kitchen closet (maybe where the old furnace sat). Now the new furnace sits in the attic. Does this look like asbestos to you?
This Q&A were posted originally at ASBESTOS PIPE INSULATION
I'm not sure what that is either, as the photo is a bit blurry.
It looks a little too thin to be transite cement asbestos that could have been a flu or air duct.
Most likely what your photo shows is asbestos paper covering what was a connection in an HVAC duct or a vent duct.
Watch out: in any event an HVAC duct or an exhaust vent duct that simply dumps into the attic is not functional and could also be unsafe.
Supporting research confirms that there were asbestos paper duct liners made with reinforcement of hemp
These are examples of additional text used in home inspection reports where asbestos material is observed:
Safety Recommendation: We observed what may be asbestos containing insulating material on the the heating distribution system.
Do not disturb the material and do not allow others who are not trained and qualified to disturb or attempt to remove it.
Improper asbestos removal efforts can create health hazards by contaminating building areas with asbestos dust and debris.
You should obtain proper technical information and health and safety guidelines before attempting to do anything with this material. It is the breathing of fibers when this material is disturbed, not it's mere presence, which is considered a health risk.
When asbestos containing material (ACM) is not found in living areas in poor condition, treatment is not usually an emergency and you have ample time to become informed, obtain estimates, and select a course of action.
Usually the lowest risks from asbestos in a residential building where the material is in good condition is to leave it in place and to encapsulate or cover it.
Typical examples of uses of asbestos on residential heating systems include
Depending on condition and location of asbestos material, treatment ranges from doing nothing to encapsulating it to complete removal. Removal and disposal of asbestos in buildings can involve a significant expense.
If the material is confirmed as asbestos, depending on its condition and location, treatment ranges from doing nothing to complete removal.
Removal would involve significant costs and is generally the preferred course.
A number of treatment options are available. Choice of treatment can make a big difference in possible costs of handling the material. You should obtain proper technical information and health and safety guidelines before attempting to do anything with this material.
Watch out:
Removal has not followed approved methods and procedures: we saw that piping has not been cleaned nor sealed, and that the suspect material has been left in some places - details not found when materials were removed by trained professionals.
Unprofessional removal of controversial materials in a building may raise health, legal, or marketing concerns for future property owners. You should attempt to obtain documentation regarding who did what to the property regarding this topic. Additional testing to assure that no hazards or legal issues remain, may involve significant expense.

@Louise,
One of your photos is too dark to see much, another is a bit blurry, so difficult to say for sure.
Asbestos joint sealant tape was a paper-like material. If yours is actually an adhesive tape, it may be a newer product.
See our responses to the questions from reader PK above on this page in the Reader Q&A section where we talk about potential risk and treatment IF it is asbestos tape.

These photos are of a floor supply register in my home built in 1954. My home is on a concrete slab in Northeast Ohio (specifically Lorain County - west of Cleveland). This view from inside the register appears to show the paper lining duct running the length. Excuse the debris.
Do you think there is asbestos in this? Looks very similar to other linings posted with asbestos. Thank you!

@LL,
I'm sorry I don't think anyone can give you a definitive answer from just your texts and photos,
but from zooming in on some of them I see what looks like mineral wool, which is itself not an asbestos product. Be sure you read our other articles warning about the dangers of ducts in slabs.
On 2021-10-30 by LL
These photos are of a floor supply register of a home built on concrete slab. They show the view straight down into the floor opening, then the lateral run of the duct through the slab. It looks like metal wrapped with some sort of insulation.
Do you think there is asbestos in any of these components? The home was built in 1954 in Illinois.
On 2021-09-29 by inspectapedia.com.moderator - have the ducts inspected by a camera system
@AJ,
The speculative answer without a shred of information about your specific building would in my opinion not be useful.
If you're concerned about asbestos in your ductwork in previously inaccessible sections, though that would be uncommon, your best bet is to have the ducts inspected by a camera system.
On 2021-09-29 by AJ
Our home was built 1984 by neighborhood builder in Orange County CA. What do you think the chances are there is asbestos in ductwork? I was under the impression we had ALL ductwork replaced when we moved in.
Now I find out they didn't touch some that goes through an untouchable (without removing drywall) section of wall and into and including that in kitchen ceiling. I am concerned and my husband says none in what they removed so we fine. ANy thoughts?

On 2021-05-07 by (mod) - why remove rather than encapsulate asbestos insulated duct
@PK,
I'm inclined to agree with the opposition to encapsulation.
OPINION: For every problem that faces an expensive and troublesome repair we always see the natural development of a whole industry of magic bullets that are, in comparison, quicker, cheaper, easier.
Unfortunately in many cases the magic bullet misses the target or kills an innocent bystander at great expense and with poor results.
While there is an excellent application of encapsulation on asbestos that is external to HVAC systems or on piping - where the target can be seen and its condition easily monitored, spraying an encapsulant inside of ducts, a magic bullet proposed for asbestos as well as for mold contamination and leak damage, things don't look so appetizing.
We cannot easily see every precise detail of the encapsulation from the get-go and have to worry that it may be incomplete.
And similarly monitoring its durability over time can be difficult, expensive, maybe even impossible for hard-to-access areas inside an HVAC system.
People may ignore a hazard because they think it has been successfully addressed only to discover much later that the success was not as complete as was hoped. So that false sense of security can carry its own cost.
On 2021-05-07 by PK
Thanks for your opinions.
We have about 2 square feet of material in each of the 5 registers. That seems to be enough to consider removing and replacing duct pieces where possible to limit the disturbance of fibers in the hvac system.
So far, 2 companies have recommended removing the tape and mentioned encapsulation would not be recommended because it could degrade. Interesting. I may get a few more recommendations.

@PK,On 2021-05-06 by PK
thanks for the comments. Had it tested a yesterday and it's positive for asbestos. 85%.
Really curious to get your thoughts on the best removal process. Sounds like you believe it's better to remove the ducts and not disturb the tape in the duct system. That does seem safer but possibly more expensive. FYI the plaster around the registers is also positive for asbestos.

I found presumed ACM inside my hvac registers at the floor level. I realize this is rare but it looks identical to other asbestos paper/tape in the home. It looks like it's been painted grey/brown/black in at least 5 registers. The material is frayed on the edges and missing small fragments. 30's Home. Any thoughts?

@Barbara Finwall,
@Barbara Finwall,
If there is need for an asbestos removal project it is usually smartest to use someone who is trained, and depending on the regulations that pertain where you live, someone who is licensed to do the work.
Such steps add greatly to the cost of what would otherwise be a trivial easy mechanical process of simply removing some material.
Costly building jobs always generate an industry of cheaper magic bullets that rarely hit the target.
Time and again I've seen amateur asbestos removal jobs that cross-contaminated the building or that left the work half-done, thus generating a final cleanup cost that was far higher than if the job had been done right the first time.
One reason that the price for an asbestos abatement job seems absurd Lehigh is that the contractor is required both by regulation and by the moral need to protect her workers to use methods and procedures that are safe such as using personal protective gear, setting up negative air and containment for the work area, and appropriate before and after testing for cross-contamination. All of them
On 2021-02-26 by Barbara Finwall
I don't know how to add a photo to my comment which I just sent.
I've been given a ridiculously high estimate for replacing furnace and ducts and other things i can't understand but what worries me the most is the asbestos
