DUCTWORK

Ductwork Solutions Improve Indoor Air Quality and Reduce Utility Costs

Your ductwork system is responsible for distributing the air that has either been heated or cooled throughout your homes’ living spaces. It is the supply ducts job to move the conditioned air to the various rooms.

The return ductwork brings the air back to the furnace or air handler to be heated or cooled.

While the ductwork systems seem simple, if not done right you could see an increase in utility costs or even experience health issues. Avoid the below ductwork insulation problems.

Ductwork Problems to Avoid

    Poorly insulated ducts waste a significant amount of energy resulting in increased utility bills. For example, in the winter months if your air passes through an uninsulated ductwork system in your cold attic, the HVAC system has to heat this area first.  Therefore, the warm air will not reach the rest of your home until those ducts have warmed. The same thing happens in the summer. If your cool has to pass through your hot attic it takes longer for the cool air to reach your living areas.

   Leaky ducts  are a very common problem and can affect the efficiency of your HVAC system up to 40%. If you are seeing spikes in heating or cooling bills that cannot be traced to increased HVAC usage, you might want to check your ductwork. Leaky ducks lead to you paying more to heat or cool your basement, crawl space, or attic instead of your living spaces. Additionally these leaks can collect unhealthy air from crawl space or attic that will then be distributed into your living areas. 

   Imbalanced ductwork wastes energy while also unevenly distributing the heating and cooling within your home. Balance issues occur when the amount of air distributed by supply ducts does not equal the amount of air collected by the return ducts. This is a result of improper location and size of supply and return ducts.
