The Ductwork in your Home

Ductwork is the air distribution system in your home, which directs and delivers heated or cooled air. The duct system has a significant impact on system performance and plays an integral role in determining how comfortable your home is from room to room.

When properly designed and installed, a duct system can maximize comfort and minimize energy use. If it’s time to replace your aging system and you have hot or cold rooms in your house, you may want to consider making duct system improvements at the same time. Installing a properly sized duct system with registers and grilles that deliver air quietly and evenly is well worth it for the end result.
