Ductwork is a key part of your heating and cooling system. It allows heated/cooled air to circulate throughout your home. If it works well, it will provide comfort on any part of your home. When getting a heating and cooling unit installed in your home, it is usually accompanied by an air duct installation. At Delux Heating & Cooling, we can help install your air ducts to maximize its efficiency and comfort in your home.

Depending on the configuration, insulation, size, and condition of your home, our technicians will plan the most suitable size and layout of your air ducts to fully utilize the air circulation of your unit throughout your home.

Signs That You Need A New Duct Installation

Though you cannot see the air ducts in your home since they are located within the ceilings and walls, there are some signs that you can see to know if you need to replace your ductwork.

• Ineffective Cooling and Heating. Ineffective ductwork can cause irregular temperatures and can increase your energy bill. When there is leakage in the ducts, your HVAC system tends to work harder to match the thermostat settings. Some areas in your home may become hotter or colder compared to other areas.
• Poor Air Quality. If your house is unusually dusty or your allergies started acting up, there may be a leak in the ducts. When this happens, dust from outside the air ducts can get inside and circulate inside your home. This could pose a threat to your family and damage properties in your home.
• Noisy HVAC System. Heating and cooling systems usually run pretty quietly. If you notice some unusual noise, your ducts may be the incorrect size or too small for the HVAC system. The HVAC may have a hard time streaming air through small channels, so it stresses the system and causes some odd noises.
• A Smell of Mildew. If there is a different smell coming from the ducts, there may be mold or fungi inside. When moist air passes through cold ductwork, this creates condensation. This usually happens if the ducts aren’t well-insulated or if the air passing through the ducts is particularly humid. Condensation in the ducts can promote the mold growth within the ducts, which blows smelly and unsanitary air into the house.
