The Importance Of Ductwork In Your Home

The ductwork in your home is a vital part of your HVAC system. Ducts are used to distribute airflow from your furnace or air conditioner to the different rooms in your house. The ductwork is typically made of sheet metal, but it can also be made of flex duct, fiberglass duct board, or even duct tape. There are several different types of ductwork, including round ducts, square ducts, and rectangular ducts. Some ductwork is even ductless, meaning it doesn’t have any ducts at all. No matter what type of ductwork you have in your home, it’s important to keep it clean and free of debris. Otherwise, the airflow in your house will be reduced and your energy bills will increase.

  • The airflow in your home is inconsistent.
  • Your furnace or air conditioner is running constantly.
  • You can hear noise coming from the ducts.
  • Your energy bills are high, even though you haven’t changed how often you use your hvac.

Most Common Ductwork Mistakes

Before you decide to take on the project yourself or hire JUST ANY duct company out there, know that these common mistakes often lead to inefficient cooling/heating and steep electric bills.

1

Insufficient Planning

The air conditioning ductwork layout should be based on the location of the heating/cooling equipment. It must be strategically installed so that the equipment won’t have to work had to distribute air.
2

Forcing Ducts into Tight Spaces

There should also be enough space around the hvac ducts so that it won’t bend or crack, which can cause air leaks.
3

Poor Sealing

Improperly sealed joints can reduce air flow or create entries for outdoor air and impair indoor temperature control.
4

Wrong placement

Ducts installed near exterior walls with poor insulation can absorb the temperature of the outdoors. The temperature of the ducts affects air that is blown to the interiors. Therefore, if the ducts are cold, the air that passes through them will also be cooled.
5

Wrong sizing

When choosing duct sizes you must consider the type of heating/cooling system that you’re going to use. Location and load requirements must also be taken into consideration.
6

Not Enough Return Vents

The ductwork system must be installed with correct number of return vents in order to pull enough air back into the cooling/heating system and manage interior temperatures.

AC Duct Frequently Asked Questions

Can Mold Grow In AC Ducts?

Mold growth is not likely to occur in ac ducts because ac unit air movement has to be extremely fast. If ac units are not functioning properly, mold can grow inside ac ducts. The use of an ultraviolet light can help eliminate biological growth.

When ac units are turned off, ac ducts become warm and humid, creating an ideal environment for household fungi, which can cause certain respiratory infections. Stagnant ac ducts also attract vermin such as moths and ants.

How Do I Fix Condensation On AC Ducts?

Moist ac ducts can cause mold to grow, encouraging respiratory problems. Before ac units are turned off during the summer months, ac ducts must be properly fixed to prevent condensation from forming on ac ac ducts or cold supply air outlets once ac units are turned off for energy savings.

Why Should AC Ducts Be Insulated

If ac units are not properly insulated, ac unit condensation can form on ac air supply outlets by way of metal ac ductwork. Moisture formation is the primary cause of mold growth in ac units. Mold spores are present everywhere and they enter ac units through openings around ventilation louvers or diffusers, especially during periods of high humidity when replenishing indoor moisture becomes difficult for each ac vent to maintain. Moisture buildup inside ac metal ducts can be prevented by way of insulation which will minimize cold air loss from metal ac vents throughout the house.

How Do I Check AC Ducts For Leaks?

Leaks in ac ducts must be detected immediately to prevent ac units from efficiency loss, the rise of AC unit room temperature, and mold growth. There are several ways ac units can leak. Some leaks are visible while others are difficult to detect without ac unit duct testing equipment.

How Do AC Ducts Work?

AC units cool the air by passing indoor ac airstream over refrigerated coils that conduct heat inside ac units. The heat is expelled outside through cooling coils or ventilation louvers located on the back exterior section of each ac vent. The cooled air travels through metal ac ductwork to outlets throughout the house before it enters rooms at floor level or near floor level via diffusers attached directly to ac vents or indirectly by way ac unit returns.
