What does asbestos duct wrap look like?

Asbestos duct wrap in pre-1980 homes often appears as gray corrugated cardboard-like material wrapped around rectangular HVAC ducts, or as a canvas-covered insulation on round ducts. It may also appear as a silver or gray foil-faced wrap.

Does HVAC duct wrap always contain asbestos?

Not always, but duct insulation installed before 1980 has a significant probability of containing asbestos. Lab testing is required to confirm before any HVAC service or replacement work that would disturb the material.
