What is an air duct?
Air ducts (also known as HVAC ducts or ventilation ducts) are the metal tubes used to distribute conditioned air through the furnace, the air conditioning system, and supply registers. Air ducts are passages for airflow in buildings or vehicles. They channel conditioned indoor air to individual rooms or building systems.
Why service your air ducts?
Old metal air ducts tend to deteriorate over time. Ductwork is made of steel or aluminum which rust as they naturally come in contact with water, moisture, and oxygen. So it is crucial to have your ducts serviced to prevent these agents contaminating your air!
Air ducts can sometimes develop leaks which vastly reduce the efficiency of the HVAC system. A technician will go through a visual inspection of the air duct system by removing or cutting open a section of the duct and sealing it back in place. If it’s determined that the ductwork needs to be replaced, it will be cut back a foot from its location and then replaced and sealed.
What is air duct replacement?
Air duct replacement is the process of removing or replacing home heating or cooling system components such as air ducts, registers, grilles, dampers, and fans. Unlike insulation and sealing, where the intent is to keep air from escaping, or venting, where the intent is to let outside air in, air duct replacement focuses on getting rid of unwanted contaminants that can build up within your system.
Strongbuilt ensures that you and your family have the best air quality possible. This can be accomplished by cleaning out the ducts of years of buildup, debris, and grime or by replacing the entire duct system that can handle more airflow. Air duct replacement involves removing and replacing the sections of your heating and cooling ducts that run through your home’s walls. This is more than a cosmetic change and can increase air quality and improve the performance of your heating and cooling systems.
