What Is the Process of Installing Ductwork?

The ductwork in your home is the system that sends warm or cooled air to every room. Even the best HVAC system can't keep your area comfortable or save energy if it's old, poorly constructed, or broken.

Installing ductwork involves designing, making, and putting in a network of air ducts to evenly disperse airflow. We at AES Heating and Air Conditioning can put in both stiff and flexible sheet metal ducts.

When Do You Need New Ductwork?

  • You are adding rooms or remodeling
    To keep the air flowing evenly throughout your home, new rooms need the right ductwork.
  • Your current ducts are broken, leaking, or too small
    Leaks, cracks, or incorrect sizing make it harder for air to circulate and waste energy.
  • You're getting a new HVAC system
    A new system usually needs new ducts to work at its best.
  • The way you have things set up now makes the temperatures inconsistent
    Sometimes, hot or cold areas indicate airflow difficulties caused by poor duct design.
  • Your ducts are more than 15 years old and starting to wear down
    As ductwork gets older, it works less well and is more likely to leak and break.
  • You're switching to a zoned system or a heat pump
    Changes to the ducts make sure that your new system sends the right amount of air to each zone.

We'll look at your current system and tell you if a full replacement or a partial update is the best option for your home.

New Ductwork Can Fix Many Problems

Upgrading your ductwork can fix a number of comfort and efficiency problems, such as:

  • Airflow that isn't even between rooms or floors
  • Ducts that whistle, boom, or vibrate
  • Leaky or poorly insulated ducts can lead to high energy bills
  • The vents farthest from the system experience inadequate airflow
  • The system keeps cycling or running for a long time
  • Air quality problems may arise from dust, leaks, or other pollutants

Problems in the ducts are likely to cause discomfort in your home even when your HVAC system is working hard.

The Advantages and Steps of Installing Ducts

This section explains why hiring a professional to install your ductwork is important.

Your duct system has a direct impact on the comfort, energy expenses, and air quality in your home. You can do the following using ductwork that is properly designed and installed:

  • Spread air evenly throughout your home
    Say goodbye to places that are too hot or too cold.
  • Cut down on air loss to make your energy use more efficient
    Sealed, well-fitting ducts keep energy from being wasted and cut utility bills.
  • Help contemporary HVAC and zoning systems work
    Correctly designing ducts makes modern systems and smart zoning settings work better.
  • Make the air inside better
    New ductwork keeps dust, mold, and allergens from moving around in your home.
  • Make less noise by limiting airflow
    Ducts that are properly installed keep your system quiet and running well.
  • Make your HVAC system last longer
    Ductwork that works well puts less stress on your system, which helps it last longer.

We ensure that each duct system we install fits perfectly in your room, has excellent sealing, and is long-lasting.

Ductwork Installation – Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need new ductwork?

Signs include poor airflow, uneven room temperatures, high utility bills, noisy vents, or visible damage to your duct system.

How long does duct installation take?

Most duct installations are completed in 1 to 2 days, depending on the size of the home and system complexity.

Can you install ducts in a home that never had them?

Yes. We design and install complete duct systems for homes with no previous central HVAC setup, including return paths and supply vents.

Can new ductwork lower my energy bills?

Yes. Properly sized, sealed, and insulated ducts reduce energy loss and help your HVAC system operate more efficiently.

What’s the difference between flex duct and sheet metal duct?

Flex duct is easier and faster to install, great for tight spaces. Sheet metal is more durable and often used for main trunks or commercial settings. We’ll recommend the best fit for your home.

Do I need to replace ducts when I get a new HVAC system?

Not always. If your ducts are in good shape and sized correctly, we can connect them to your new system. If not, we’ll explain your options.
