What are my options on repairing the sections of ductwork that connect the floor vents to the main trunk line? i have the aluminum duct, not flex. I'm tired of losing so much of my heated, or cooled air to the the outside. Thanks in advance!

Hi Casey,
Are you in a single, double or triple ?
Are the registers over the trunkline or away from it ?
Thanks,
Robert

Hi Casey,
Get some aluminum flashing and attach to whats there with sheet metal screws.
This should cover any gaps/holes where it has come loose or opened.
Then cover all seams with foil backed tape.
Take care and best wishes,
Robert
