An essential component of any heating, ventilation and air conditioning, (HVAC), system, ductwork is vital in the ventilation, circulation and distribution of air for domestic, commercial and industrial properties. Largely forgotten about, the importance of ductwork cannot be underestimated, playing a key part in controlling indoor temperatures across the world. In this guide, we provide a brief insight into ductwork, emphasising its importance.
What Is Ductwork?
As suggested, ductwork is primarily responsible for circulating temperature-controlled air around your property, distributing clean air, with fewer dust particles, allergens and germs in the atmosphere. Designed to provide a consistent temperature throughout a property, ductwork plays an essential role in an HVAC system operation, affecting the overall comfort and air quality of a given space. The process typically involves air being sucked from the property into the heater or air conditioning unit, where it’s then either heated or cooled, depending on the requirement, before the air is redistributed back into the poetry via the ducts.
Ductwork Installation
Ductwork installation will almost always involve the installation of ductwork for your HVAC system, although ductwork will often be used for waste extraction units, vacuum systems and dust & fume extraction systems as well. An expert ductwork installer will be required to help match your ductwork to the HVAC system, ensuring it is optimised for maximum efficiency, comfort and longevity, as well as checking for faults, damage, or signs of wear and tear within the current system, (should you have one). Installing new ductwork or replacing the existing ductwork within a domestic, commercial or industrial property will greatly improve the health, happiness and comfort of your employees, and therefore should be considered a priority.
Choosing An Installer
Choosing the right installer for your ductwork or HVAC system is vitally important, and can make the difference between a fully operating and effective system, and one that may cause serious problems in the long term. Below, we look at some of the key points to remember when choosing a ductwork installer.
Get Estimates
Realistically, you should be aiming to get estimates from at least three different HVAC or ductwork installation companies, to provide yourself with different options and a better sense of the average expected costs. Focus on experienced companies, read reviews online and check their insurance coverage. Remember to balance cost with quality.
Value For Money
Making the most of your budget is essential for everyone, and making contact with different companies will offer you the most options moving forward, to ensure you get the best value for money. HVAC specialists will be able to provide you with the price and quality of different systems to ensure you are getting the best possible ductwork for your budget.
Insurance Coverage
Whenever choosing a ductwork installer, you should double-check they have the appropriate liability coverage in the unlikely event of accidental damage to your property during installation. We recommend you avoid ductwork installers who don’t have the appropriate insurance coverage.
