    Ductwork is a network of tubes that carry air from air conditioners to areas in buildings. Supply ducts send air to areas while return ducts draw air back to be reconditioned. Ductwork regulates comfort and air quality by distributing air and preventing issues like drafts or odors. Ductwork design is critical as the size and shape of ducts affect air flow, and undersized or leaky ducts can compromise efficiency and comfort.

    Duct Work

    What is ductwork?
    Ductwork is a network of large tubes that extend from your return air box (where the air is drawn into the
    indoor unit) to the diffusers (where the cooled or heated air enters the area) throughout the commercial or
    residential building.
    The normally out-of-sight tubes are often round (flexible) or rectangular (metal) and are frequently
    installed inside the ceiling cavity. Ductwork can also be visible for an industrial aesthetic feel if desired.

    What does ductwork do?


    Ductwork is responsible for carrying the heated or cooled air produced by air conditioner into the required
    indoor areas of the residential or commercial building.
    Supply ducts send heated and cooled air from the indoor unit to the indoor area, while return ducts draw
    expended air back to the return air box to be filtered, reconditioned, and redistributed.

    Why is ductwork important?


    Ductwork helps regulate the comfort and indoor air quality of your building. Without them, these necessities
    would be compromised in the form of air leaks, hot and cold spots, drafts, mould growth, unbalanced air
    pressure, lingering odours, and excessive noise from the indoor unit.

    Why is ductwork design critical?


    Ductwork requires design, measurements, and careful ductwork installation. The size and shape of the
    ductwork affect air friction loss. Flexible ductwork has the highest friction loss per linear metre, while rounded
    galvanized (metal) ductwork has the least.
    For the best design, a minimal amount of high-quality smooth fittings are used to reduce the system’s air
    pressure drop. A direct route ensures minimal air friction loss.
    Undersized systems are often too loud, and poorly installed fittings can cause turbulence that increases the
    noise level. To lessen noise levels, dampers that are located away from registers and diffusers are used.
    Any ductwork that runs from warm areas to cold ones can lose efficiency. Uninsulated and leaky ducts result
    in higher energy bills, occupant discomfort and odours.
    What is the difference between Metal and Flexible Ductwork?

    What’s a metal duct? What’s a flexible duct?


    Metal ductwork offer a more permanent solution to a The flexible ducting connects the metal ductwork to carry
    commercial air conditioning system. Galvanized steel the air to the diffusers.
    and aluminium ductwork last longer when proper Insualted flexible duct is used to transfer conditioned air.
    maintenance occurs on a regular schedule. Non-insulated flex duct is used typically used for
    ventilation and non-conditioned air.
