When one room never cools and the vents smell like attic
That is usually a duct failure, not a weak system. The common ones here: a flex run that has sagged into an S between trusses, a crushed radius turn at a boot, or a collar held by a loose zip tie that slipped off the ductboard plenum. Air goes into the attic instead of the bedroom. You pay to cool insulation.
In 1950s-70s block ranches the trunk is original galvanized sheet metal. Old duct tape repairs on those joints dry out and peel. Tape is not a repair. Joints get mechanically fastened, then sealed with mastic or UL-listed foil tape.
Return-side leaks matter more than supply leaks. A leaky return pulls insulation and dust, plus humid air, straight into the blower. That is where the musty odor starts. It also wets the coil and the ductboard faces during the long cooling season.
Manufactured homes are their own category. The belly duct runs under the floor and the crossover duct between sections tears. Then it draws soil and ground moisture. Those get replaced, not patched.
We inspect before quoting. Some runs are worth repairing. Flex that's badly compressed, or wet and vermin-fouled, is replacement work, and we'll say so.
