Ductwork FAQs

What are ducts?
Ducts are one of the most crucial components of any heating or cooling system. They carry the heated or cooled air throughout your home. Without ducts, your furnace or air conditioning system would not do anything.

Ducts are usually insulated and sealed. The ducts connect to openings in each room, where the hot or cold air is vented. Ducts can be rectangular, oval, or round. The materials they are made from usually include plastic or fiberglass.

Why do I need ductwork?
All modern homes have ducts installed as they are built. In fact, unless you live in a home from the 19^th century or earlier that has not been retrofitted, you are almost guaranteed to have ducts. This is because heating and often cooling, systems are built directly into homes.

Just because your home has ductwork installed, that does not mean that you never have to worry about the ducts again. If your ducts have a leak or malfunction, your home may not be able to regulate the temperatures. At the very least, your energy costs will likely rise.

Of the issues that can be caused by faulty ductwork, the following are the most common.

• High energy bills.
• Extra dust.
• Poor heating or cooling.
• Bad air quality.

Where are ducts installed?
Ducts are installed inside the walls, ceilings, and basements of a home. Ideally, they will be placed in the conditioned envelope of your home. That means they can be found in the frames of the structure.

Because of their placement, it is very time-consuming and expensive to retrofit a home with ductwork. New ductwork installation can also be expensive. Walls, floors, and ceilings will need to be opened up to place the new ducts correctly. This is why it is so important to fix any duct problems right away and not wait until your need the entire ductwork to be reinstalled.

What are the signs I need new ductwork or duct repair?
Once you know what to look for, you will be able to easily spot when you need duct repair. The following signs are the most common.

• Ducts that are not properly installed. This includes ductwork in garages, crawlspaces, and basement floors.
• Clunks or other noises when the heating or cooling system is running.
• Trouble keeping your home at a consistent temperature.
• Air leaks.
• Little or no air coming out of the vents.
• Your energy bills rise more than normal for the season.
• Visibly damaged, loose, or collapsed ducts.

If you notice any of the signs above, you need immediate ductwork maintenance. Contact Russell’s Heating & Air Conditioning for help.

What is zoning and do I need it?
Zoning is a process that allows you to heat or cool only certain areas of your home at one time. It can be important depending on the size of your home. If you live in a small space, zoning may not be beneficial to you. However, those people with large homes may want to consider zoning.

It ensures only the rooms you use are being heated or cooled. This can save wear-and-tear on you’re A/C or heating systems and your ductwork.
