When consumers purchase a new home, they are given myriad choices when it comes to upgrades. They can choose better countertops, nicer flooring, and improved bathroom fixtures.
On the outside chance the new homeowners are given an option to upgrade their HVAC system, the choices are usually limited. Perhaps they can choose a higher SEER unit or maybe a two-stage furnace, but that’s about it. Ductwork hardly ever figures into the upgrade scenario. Maybe that’s because it’s hidden, or maybe it’s because builders don’t know much about upgraded ductwork.
