The ducts that are part of central Heating and Cooling Systems offer one of the best opportunities to increase your comfort, and manage your energy bills. Studies indicate that 10% - 30% of the heated or cooled air is lost along with the money spent to heat or cool that Air – through leaky ducts. Properly sized, installed, and sealed ductwork will make your home heating and cooling system significantly more efficient. Energy loss is not  the only concern, however. duct systems can also involve the comfort of your family, employee, tenants, or customers, as well as Your indoor air quality testing the ducts will locate leaks or Damage and focus repair work in the right area.

If the test indicates the leakage is greater that acceptable, the ducts should be sealed, repaired, or renovated (replaced). the threshold is set by the October 2005 Title 24 Building Code, which requires duct leakage to be reduced by 15% of the pre-work leakage Found. In every case the closer to zero leakage attained, the better your duct system will perform.

Duct system repair involves reconnecting parts that have become separated, and replacing or repairing any damaged or missing component parts, which could include flexible metallic and non- metallic “plastic flex” ducts, rigid metal ducts, sheet metal duct components, duct supports, register boots, and registers.

Duct renovation should be performed if duct system is in poor condition or improperly sized. renovation involves replacing a significant portion of the ductwork, either to restore it to proper operation or to increase the capacity of the return air ducting. some system have return ducts that are too small, causing whistling filters, noisy ducts, and reduced energy efficiency. If size is not the problem, often only a portion of the ductwork needs replacement. but if the entire duct system needs to be replaced, your contractor must correct size the ducts and register to ensure that the new ductwork will provide the most comfort and greatest energy efficiency.

 

 

• Improved comfort, especially   during period s of hot and cold weather   comfort and greatest energy efficiency. • Lower energy use, which means lower    energy bills • A quieter home due to less noise    entering from that wrong sizing ductwork • Fewer holes where pollen, dust, pollution,    and insects can enter your home • Improved durability of the ductwork struc-    ture through the reduced movement of    moist air.
