Installing new air ducts can elevate the comfort level within your home. Replacement projects remove outdated or inefficient ductwork and replace it with new, advanced HVAC ductwork designed to circulate air more effectively. By opting for a new duct system, you can eliminate cold spots and uneven heating or cooling — ensuring a more consistent temperature throughout the living space.
This allows for balanced airflow and a more pleasant indoor environment. As a result, the proper installation of new ductwork can lead to a noticeably more comfortable home.
When you install ductwork, you may see your energy bills decrease soon after. This is primarily because new ductwork, especially when designed and installed by HVAC professionals, is more energy efficient. Replacing ductwork can rectify air leaks in the existing system, which are often responsible for significant energy loss.
When your new air ducts are properly sealed, your HVAC system — including the air conditioner and heating elements — operates more efficiently. Efficient operation means the HVAC unit doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain the desired temperature, leading to lower energy costs. Moreover, the energy efficiency of the entire system improves, further reducing energy bills and making the initial air duct replacement cost an investment that pays off in the long run.
The quality of indoor air can improve after replacing your old ducts. Over time, existing ductwork can accumulate dust, mold, and other contaminants, which then circulate through the air handler and into your living spaces. This means that by replacing ductwork, you can enhance your indoor air quality.
This replacement process, which may involve mold remediation for existing ductwork, ensures that air circulated by the HVAC system is clean and free of unpleasant odors or harmful pollutants. Furthermore, new ducts, particularly those made from materials like flexible aluminum, are designed to minimize the risk of pest infestations and damage.
Installing new air ducts is the perfect opportunity to select a duct size more suited to your home’s specific needs. The size and layout of your duct system play a crucial role in the efficiency of your heating and cooling system. With the help of our HVAC experts, you can evaluate your existing system and determine whether a different air velocity or duct size could provide better performance.
For instance, replacing narrow or improperly sized supply ducts with new ductwork that fits the air velocity requirements of your space can enhance the efficiency of your air conditioner and heating units. This could involve transitioning from traditional ductwork to more modern solutions, such as high-velocity systems in tight spaces like a finished basement or an unfinished basement with limited access. Properly sizing the ductwork not only improves energy efficiency but also ensures that each room receives adequate airflow, eliminating hot or cold spots and contributing to overall comfort.
New ductwork can help raise the value of your home. Some prospective buyers might find new ducts appealing, as they signal a commitment to comfort, energy efficiency, and health. A heating and cooling system that boasts new ductwork demonstrates to buyers that the home has been well-maintained and updated. This can be especially important in spaces like crawl spaces and attics, where the proper duct installation and maintenance are often overlooked.
Furthermore, the overall cost of an HVAC project, including labor costs per linear foot for ductwork installation, is often recouped through the increased market value of the home. Investing in new ductwork not only enhances your current living experience but also positions your property as a more attractive and valuable asset in the real estate market.
