Ductwork Installation

Your ductwork is a network of ducts, vents, and tubes that connect to your heating and cooling units. Together with other components of your HVAC system — which stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning — your ductwork distributes cool or warm air throughout your home. 

What Is Duct Installation? 

When Over the Moon does a ductwork installation, we look at your home’s design and evaluate your family’s heating and cooling needs as a whole. Then we install an efficient, cost-effective, and safe system to meet those needs. There are many aspects that our technicians consider when installing ductwork.

What type of HVAC system do you have?

There are several different types of HVAC systems, and components within those systems, that address heating, cooling, ventilation, and air quality. Each has its benefits that can impact a ductwork installation.

How is your home designed?

How many stories does your home have? Are there large rooms? What kind of insulation do you have? How many windows are there and how large are they? Are your windows single, double, or triple-pane? 

Where will the ductwork be located within your home?

A straight path for the air to travel and minimizing bends and seams in ductwork are the most energy-efficient and cost-effective. However, your home’s design may not always allow for a straight path — but don’t worry — our HVAC experts know how to handle all types of home layouts.

What materials are being used?

Is the ductwork rigid, flexible, semi-rigid, or a combination? The four most often used materials for ductwork installation are galvanized steel, which is usually the most expensive, followed by sheet metal, fiberglass, and plastic. 

Do you have multiple temperature zones?

If your home is older with different sections built over time or if you’ve added an addition to your home, you may have separate temperature zones that need their own thermostat. Attics and basements can be separate zones as well. Multiple zones can make for a complex installation, but our trained technicians will create the best solution for your home.

How Do You Know When You Need New Ductwork?

You should replace your home’s ductwork about every 15 years, but possibly sooner depending on your ductwork’s condition. Several indicators tell you it’s time for an air duct installation: 

• Air isn’t as cool or warm as you like, temperatures in different rooms are inconsistent, or airflow is generally weak
• You have indoor air quality (IAQ) issues like excessive dust or odors
• Energy bills continually rise
• Sounds are coming from your ductwork such as banging, clicks, or air escaping
• There is mold or mildew on or around your ductwork
• You see pests or signs of infestation such as nests and droppings
• You notice signs of age such as rust, dents, and missing parts
• You need to clean ducts or replace filters more often 

Benefits of Ductwork Installation

An air duct installation can improve air quality with less dust and other particles, especially benefiting family members with allergies, asthma, and other respiratory ailments. New ductwork can eliminate odors and a streamlined duct system can eliminate energy inefficiencies, reducing system noise and adding calm. 

Additionally, ductwork installation has among the highest return on investment (ROI) of any home improvement project. Your ROI may begin right away in the form of lower energy bills. Additionally, HVAC ductwork installation adds value to your home and can be an excellent selling point when it’s time to put it on the market.  

Additional Duct Services

Your ductwork doesn’t always need a complete installation. Sometimes repairs or cleaning can address the problem. Our Over the Moon specialists provide additional services to address any duct system issues you may be having. 

Repair

Time and regular use can create wear and tear issues in your duct system like broken ducts, holes, leaks, and loose connections. Our technicians use the most up-to-date techniques and materials to restore your system to its proper state.

Cleaning

Air duct cleaning removes dirt, debris, particles, mold, and vermin infestations from your system and can return it to maximum efficiency. Also, the dust and dirt generated by a recent addition to your home may necessitate a ductwork cleaning.

Sealing

A leak in your ductwork system can be large and obvious or as small as a pinhole and nearly impossible to locate. Either way, its impact on your utility bill can be huge. Our trained professionals will quickly locate a leak and seal your ducts using fast, non-invasive solutions.
