A well-designed and efficiently mounted Air duct is a must for the smooth functioning of your HVAC system and helps transport air to and from your HVAC system.

Generally, ductwork is constructed using metal or synthetic tubes. When installed by experienced hands, it can ensure high air quality in your home remains at all times.

When your air duct needs to be fixed, you will notice key changes in its performance. They are:

If you notice more dust in your home on various surfaces, it is a sign that your ductwork has accumulated dirt. The dirt gets circulated throughout your home whenever the HVAC system is on.

Do you experience uneven temperatures in different areas of your home? It indicates poor airflow and inefficient performance of the duct.

Humidity and moisture can encourage mold development within your duct, which can trigger foul odors. A moldy odor is a sign of a damaged duct.

Odd sounds and noises can be indicators that all is not well with your ductwork. When air pressure builds up within the ducts, it can create strange rumbling noises.

Dust circulation throughout the ductwork can also spill over the rooms, leading to dust allergy. Get your air ducts cleaned professionally to mitigate dust circulation within your ductwork. However, if cleaning does not resolve the problem, you may need to replace the ducts.

If you get an inflated energy bill, your ductwork could be the culprit. If your HVAC system and ductwork are not working in synergy, there could be stress on the system, leading to increased power consumption and excessive power bills.

Scottsdale Air Heating and Cooling specialize in installing different types of ducts. Your options are:

Sheet Metal Duct :-Sheet metal ducts are installed primarily in commercial spaces. They are made of aluminum or galvanized steel. They are sturdy but lightweight and can be installed easily.

Fiberboard Duct:-Many homes and offices prefer fiberboard ducts as they can resist moisture. Fiberboard is made of fiberglass strands that are compressed and fused with resin. The duct is wrapped in a foil laminate sheet to protect it from moisture.

Flex Duct:-As the name suggests, Flex ducts are flexible in nature, insulated, and bendable. They are best suited for installation in tricky spaces and can be attached to any rigid ductwork for the best results.

We offer a comprehensive duct installation process. Our installation professionals ensure the duct is designed correctly, connected properly, and sealed perfectly for the best results. Here are some factors we consider while installing ducts.

THE DISTANCE FROM THE OUTLET TO UNIT:-There must be enough distance between the HVAC unit and the outlet. The unit must have at least 25 feet of clearance to ensure safe installation and steady performance.

PLACEMENT OF RETURN VENTS:-We take care to place return vents appropriately so that heating and cooling happen efficiently. We prefer placing the returns under stairs and open areas. They can pull in enough air and transport it back to your HVAC unit.

HANDLING SHARP CORNERS :- Sharp corners or taut turns in air ducts can restrict the smooth flow of air and create turbulence. We take a detailed view of your layout before installing the duct.

FLAWLESS INSULATION :- Insulating your HVAC ductwork is crucial to ensure air ducts’ operational longevity. Without proper insulation, there can be a leakage in the duct system. This can result in increased energy bills and cause constant discomfort.

PROPER SEALING:- Proper sealing is also one of the most critical factors of a perfectly installed duct.
A lack of proper sealing can force your HVAC system to work harder. Our professionals ensure that the ductwork is sealed correctly so that the comfort level is not compromised.

If your ductwork is nearing the end of its performance life and posing multiple problems, you must install a new one without delay. Call Scottsdale Air Heating and Cooling
