In an air conditioning system, ductwork is one of the most important components. The compressors and air handlers condition the air but without ductwork, none of it will get distributed around your home or business to keep you or your clients comfortable. When it comes to installing and protecting your ductwork, you need a reliable company that can solve all of your problems in one stop. Temp Engineering is Pembroke Pines premiere HVAC ductwork company. We install and maintain every kind of ductwork that is available. Our qualified technicians are ready to help you select the best choice for your space and budget.
Are your ducts fine but you’re still having poor airflow? You may need air handler services from Temp Engineering.
Different Styles of Air Ducts
Ductwork serves the purpose of distributing air around a space but it has come a long way since it was first used in early heating and cooling. Ductwork today is far more efficient than it used to be and there are many styles that can be used as decorating accents to enhance the appeal of a home or business as well as meet any budgetary demands. Some of the styles available are:
- Fiberglass Board: Fiberglass ducts are the cheapest style to install. They are made out of fiberboard that is rigid and leakproof. They are not decorative and are usually used as plenums or in industrial environments where style isn’t important.
- Sheet Metal: Sheet metal ductwork is another popular style for commercial settings. These ducts have a better appearance and are more durable than fiberglass ducts.
- Spiral Ducts: Spiral ducts are the perfect fusion of style and practicality. These attractive ducts are found in industrial-style homes and businesses. They are durable and not prone to microbial growth.
- Linear Slot Ducting: The newest style in ductwork is a linear slot diffuser. These diffusers hide themselves perfectly into a design scheme. Instead of having obvious AC diffusers, linear slot diffusers distribute air through long narrow seams that can easily be integrated into any design.
- Flexible Duct: Flexible ductwork is most commonly used in residential applications. It is easy to install and offers a long service life. It isn’t intended to be exposed so it is always installed out of sight in attics or crawl spaces.
The Importance of Duct Sealing
Home and business owners are constantly looking for ways to lower their expenses on their utilities. Having efficient air conditioning systems is a major way to reduce costs. But, what do you do if you don’t have the budget or the need to upgrade your air conditioners to a higher efficiency model? An easy answer is duct sealing.
Over time, repeated heating and cooling cycles allow ductwork to expand and contract. This can cause ductwork joints to loosen and pull away from each other. The EPA estimates that as much as 20% of the efficiency of an air conditioner can be lost in poorly sealed ductwork.
At Temp Engineering, we want to help home and business owners seal their ducts and stop wasting money. Our experienced technicians can restore lost performance in your air conditioning system quickly!
