Ductwork Fabrication

Why Get Custom Ductwork?

Many people have poor ductwork and don’t realize how much it impacts their comfort. Air leaks from improperly fitted pieces can release your conditioned air before it gets to where it’s going. As a result, some parts of your home may be cooler in summer or hot in winter than others. These cold and hot spots can undermine your comfort in your home, and make you spend more on utilities than you should to heat or cool your home.

Ducting may also be improperly sized. Small ducting will resist the flow of air from your furnace or air conditioner. This can stress the unit and cause damages. You may also need to get ductwork done so that you can fit in a new size filter for your furnace. Thicker filters offer better performance, but if the ductwork is too small, the filter won’t fit.

With custom ductwork, you can avoid all of these problems and get ducts that will serve your HVAC system and your home properly.

The Process of Ductwork Fabrication

How does the process of getting custom ductwork work, exactly? There are three main steps:

• Design: First, we take a look at your current ductwork design, if there is one. We assess its strengths and weaknesses and make a plan for how it needs to change in order to work with your new HVAC equipment or better work with your existing equipment. If you don’t currently have ductwork, then we can create a whole new plan from scratch and develop a ductwork system that works.
• Create: Next, all of the ductwork pieces need to be cut and shaped. Depending on your design, you may need custom pieces to move around equipment or serve an unusual floorplan. We can create all of these custom pieces for you.
• Install: Lastly, we will arrive to install the system. We carefully add each piece and make sure that it is well-sealed to avoid air leaks. Once in place, you should find that your HVAC units work better.
