Your home’s air ducts are one of those things that are easily forgettable. Tucked away behind walls, under floors and in the attic, you generally only think about them if you notice there’s something off with your home’s comfort levels. Ductwork issues can make it difficult for your HVAC system to achieve the desired temperature in your home. In addition to inconsistent comfort, these problems can also lower the quality of the air you breathe.
Why Is Correct Duct Size Important?
As most homeowners already know, HVAC units installed in homes are chiefly responsible for cooling and heating the house as the weather or outdoor temperature demands. However, the unit alone doesn’t determine how efficiently it will function all-year-round. There’s an array of important factors that play a role in determining functionality, and one of them is the size of the ductwork. You’re probably wondering how duct size can be so influential if the ducts simply expel air. In this article, our air conditioning service experts at Albert Air Inc. explain the reasons behind the importance of proper duct sizing, plus the different factors that come into play when sizing HVAC ducts.
