Many in our industry believe the duct material used in an installation determines how well the HVAC system moves air. The issue isn’t the material type, it’s how we install the product.
Although ductwork doesn’t require quite as much maintenance as other HVAC equipment does, there are steps to be taken to ensure its longevity, safety, and efficient operation.
Research from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has consistently shown about 30-40 percent of the air traveling through ductwork leaks, and if air is being pulled from somewhere, like a dirty crawlspace, it is going to effect IAQ.
Shurtape® DC 181 film tape is designed to prevent air loss when connecting, joining, sealing and patching flexible air ductwork — even in cold temperatures.
Designed for flexible duct media, Eco-Touch® insulation delivers thermal and acoustical characteristics to HVAC systems in residential and commercial settings. It is designed with an impervious inner air barrier film, which prevents insulation from entering the airstream, reducing the possibility of further air friction loss.
The Hi-Velocity System is a complete home comfort system, utilizing flexible mini duct and variable frequency drive motors for maximum versatility and air delivery. It may be paired up with the Hi-Velocity Air Purification System.
Over the last 10 years, there has been a growing trend toward using insulated products like fiberglass duct board and flexible duct, especially in the new construction market. Today this trend is continuing because of the emphasis on the whole-home approach to energy conservation and home performance contracting.
