Duct Work / HVAC

Duct / HVAC Services

Ductwork in homes is often overlooked during routine maintenance. As ductwork is usually hidden in basements, attics, or crawl spaces, many homeowners have an ‘out of sight, out of mind’ mentality. However, inefficient or underperforming ductwork can have a direct effect on your home’s energy efficiency and related costs.

Improve Energy Performance and Comfort

Professional ductwork insulation is an effective and affordable way to improve the energy efficiency of your home and your comfort level. There are several ways to insulate your existing ductwork. Foil-faced blankets wrapped around the ducts can prevent air from escaping. Duct runs can also be insulated with spray foam. To determine which strategy is best for your home, have an energy audit performed.

Common Problems with Ductwork Efficiency

Homeowners may face a number of issues when it comes to cooling and heating their homes. Temperatures may fluctuate with some rooms being too hot or too cold. You may find that your HVAC system needs to run longer than usual to heat or cool to a comfortable temperature. Problems are often caused by one of the following issues:

• Unbalanced airflow caused by poor location of registers, causing some rooms to get hotter or cooler than others.
• Under-insulated ductwork due to inadequate or missing insulation.
• Duct leakages that cause heated or conditioned air to escape the ductwork before it has a chance to reach certain rooms.
