Are you thinking about installing new ductwork in your home? Ductwork is helpful because it allows you to pipe heat and air conditioning to different parts of your house without having to install separate units. Furthermore, if you put your ductwork in the walls of your house, you don’t have to look at it. At the same time, just how hard is it to install new ductwork in your home? There are several important points you should keep in mind. Be sure to reach out to the team Comfort Systems if you have any questions or concerns about installing new ductwork in your house.

1. The Age of Your House

First, you need to think about the age of your house. Houses that were built a long time ago may have been constructed before central air conditioning was a thing. As a result, they may not necessarily be appropriate for installing ductwork. If you have an old house and you want to install new ductwork, it may be a significant challenge. There needs to be enough space in the walls and roof to pipe ductwork from place to place. It would be our pleasure to take a look at your home for you and let you know how much of a hassle it will be.

2. The R-Value of the Insulation

If you decide to go with central air conditioning, you may be able to save a lot of money on your utility bills. The exact amount of money you will save depends on the R-value. The R-value of your insulation determines how resistant it is to temperature changes. You want to make sure the heat stays where it is supposed to be and the air conditioning stays where it is supposed to be. The higher the R-value, the more money you will save on your utility bills. You should work with a contractor who can help you find ways to increase the R-value of the insulation you install in your home.

3. Adding New Air Vents

If you go with central air, you need room for that air to enter the appropriate room. That is why you need to add some air vents. If you are but you are retrofitting your home to add new air vents, it can be a bit of a challenge. There are different techniques available. Some of your rooms may not have any events at all, which means that the challenge will be a bit harder. At the same time, there are always ways to add more events to the room. You simply need to work with a professional who can assist you.

4. Preventing Accidents and Injuries

There are some people who watch YouTube videos online, trying to learn how to install ductwork. Even though this may look like something you can do on your own, you run the risk of hurting yourself. Or, you could damage your property. Unless you have the proper training, you should not try to do this on your own. You must have the right equipment, you need to have access to the right materials, and you should have the necessary insurance protection if something goes wrong. That is why you need to work with contractors who have experience in this area. It would be our pleasure to help you install ductwork in your home. Rely on Comfort Systems to help you.
