The only reason I’m aware of the importance of HVAC duct design is because my spouse as well as I built a current home a couple of years ago.
My buddy and I spent quite a bit of time debating between odd styles of heating as well as cooling.
When my wonderful friend and I ultimately settled on a heating system as well as central air conditioner, the Heating and Air Conditioning dealer went into great detail about designing as well as fabricating the HVAC duct. I did some research as well as learned that the duct system directly impacts energy consumption, utility costs, indoor temperature as well as air quality. The average home requires more than 300 feet of supply as well as return HVAC duct. The majority of homeowners are only getting approximately 60% of potential efficiency from their heating as well as cooling system due to imofficial duct design as well as installation. If the maximum amount of conditioned air isn’t getting distributed to the rooms, it’s far more hard to achieve an even temperature as well as passable comfort. My spouse as well as I were lucky that the Heating and Air Conditioning supplier my wonderful friend and I hired was proficient in heat load calculation, HVAC duct design as well as include sheet metal fabrication capabilities. Because our HVAC duct promotes optimum airflow to meet the heating as well as cooling requirements of the house, my wonderful friend and I are totally comfortable on the coldest winter season afternoons as well as hottest Summer afternoons. All the duct joints are secured mechanically with sheet metal screws as well as further sealed with mastic paste as well as foil tape. This works to avoid loss of air as well as the occasion of contaminants getting drawn as well as spread into our breathing air. My buddy and I appreciate superior air quality as well as peak energy efficiency. The heating system as well as air conditioner don’t need to run as often or work as hard, which should add up to greater reliability as well as longevity.
