Duct renovation is not a silver bullet. Instead, it’s an important piece of the overall comfort system.

Correcting a duct system on oversized equipment can be a costly mistake that you’ll regret.

Calculated, deliberate ductwork design and construction are major factors in how effectively and efficiently a forced-air HVAC system works.

Context can help professionals direct their attention to where duct leakage can best be addressed.

This time, the conversation turns to duct sealing and what it means in terms of system efficiency and energy savings.

The ICC passed a proposal that will require more duct testing in an effort to combat duct leakage, conserve energy, and reduce utility bills.
