A broken HVAC system can be scary! This Halloween, we hope your heating and cooling equipment delivers treats, not tricks!
If you’re still looking for unique costume and yard decoration ideas, look no further than the HVAC aisle of your local home improvement store for supplies and inspiration.
Resourceful robot
Supplies:
- Duct tape
- Flexible ductwork
- Dyer vent hose
- Solo cup

Steps:
- Using a foundation of cardboard boxes, cover the exterior in duct tape.
- Cut two sections of flexible ductwork to your desired length and attach them to the sides of your robot body for the arms.
- Cut two additional sections of flexible ductwork to wear over your legs.
- Dress up your robot with more bells and whistles from the HVAC section and others; create robot master controls using switches or even a thermostat face plate. Knobs, tubes, and other odds and ends are great additions that will make your robot come to life on Halloween night!
Ductwork tentacle monster
Supplies:

Steps:
- Paint your flexible ductwork in colors of your choosing; the ductwork will become your monster’s tentacles.

- Once your tentacles have dried, slide them over the framework you have created and position as you’d like across your lawn.
