An optimum HVAC system includes high-quality ductwork. Even the best heating and cooling equipment can't run at peak efficiency on its own: It needs a thoughtfully sized and designed and professionally installed system of ductwork to circulate warm or cool air throughout your home or business.
In the old days, home ducting was "designed" as a sometimes-convoluted mess. Often, installers ran ducts in longer sections than necessary in order to avoid pillars, beams, bearing walls and other structures. These days, the best ductwork is designed with each individual home and its HVAC equipment in mind.
Older systems suffered temperature losses because the air had to travel through those long stretches of ducts. They also frequently suffered from an imbalance of airflow -- more air was pushed out by the HVAC equipment than was entering the return ducts, or vice versa. Today's professionals know each room in the home should have the proper balance of delivered and returned air in order to be heated and cooled properly.
Laying out the correct ducting patterns in a home is no longer a job for the amateur. Low-quality ductwork costs homeowners and other property owners in both comfort and energy dollars.
