The Importance of Effective Ductwork Design

Ductwork Design

Ducts are used to distribute and eliminate air as well as carry ventilation air. They guarantee adequate indoor air quality as well as comfort. Ductwork design is a key component for an efficient HVAC system when it comes to maximizing energy efficiency, comfort, and cost savings. Ductwork design has a large impact on your home and business, as it will help extend your cooling and heating systems.

Ductwork Problems

Without an efficient ductwork design, several problems may occur. These include:

• Lack of humidity control-Without proper ductwork design, the airflow will begin to suffer making it uncomfortable to live in. A lack of humidity can cause dry skin, irritated nasal passages, itchy throat and deterioration of furniture and any wood in your home.

• Poor Air Quality-Air will not be able to circulate properly if there are issues with the ductwork design. If this occurs, you may notice a change of temperature and humidity in different rooms. Leakage can also result in airborne particles and pathogens which produce unhealthy air.

• Energy loss-Uninsulated ductwork can leak air which will cause your HVAC system to work harder and consume more energy. This results in an increase in your utility bill as well as a risk of future breakdowns. Accurate ductwork design allows air to flow freely between the air intake and the vents without extreme loss of heating or cooling.
