Duct work is not something that homeowners see every day because it is tucked inside the walls and ceilings. If you look at a blueprint of your home, though, the duct work could look like pure chaos. Duct work does need to be positioned to properly deliver heated and cooled air to each area of your home, but it should have some semblance of order.
Why is My Duct Work in Disarray?
Most times when we see duct work that is haphazardly placed, it usually means that we are looking at one of three situations:
- An older home that has square footage added to the original structure
- New construction with HVAC systems that were installed by unqualified companies
- HVAC “band-aid” fixes that involved adding new duct work
In all of these cases, the duct work is not designed to support the efficiency of the HVAC equipment, so your utility costs are higher than necessary considering the performance of your heating and cooling system.
