Forced Air Heating Ductwork

Lambro rigiflex 4 in x 96 in aluminum semi rigid flexible duct.

Forced air heating ductwork.

Duct cleaning generally refers to the cleaning of various heating and cooling system components of forced air systems including the supply and return air ducts and registers grilles and diffusers heat exchangers heating and cooling coils condensate drain pans drip pans fan motor and fan housing and the air handling unit housing see diagram. Even if radiant distribution systems completely take over though we ll still need forced air duct systems. After the air is conditioned a blower or air handler blows the air through supply ductwork which delivers it to rooms throughout your house where it emerges from registers and vents. Air flow problems in hvac ducts due to collapsed in slab ductwork air flow rates of heating or cooling air delivered by in slab ductwork can become substantially reduced and ultimately blocked completely by rodents or other animals that may invade the ductwork nesting or even dying therein crushed or collapsed ducts in the slab.

Because we still need to move air for ventilation and in humid climates like the southeastern us dehumidification. If necessary switch the wires to reduce the blower to its lowest speed. In addition we offer take offs elbows round duct pipe and register boots that can be connected to the starting ductwork and run to each room. We offer the starting ductwork for furnaces and air handlers called supply air plenums and return air plenums.

So if we re going to move air through ducts we need to understand the physics of air and how we make it do our bidding. Check the speed of the blower motor on the furnace. In addition its flexibility allows for easier installation in hard to reach areas. Here s how a typical forced air hvac system works.

Forced air systems use a furnace or heat pump to heat the air and then disperse it through the house via ductwork and in room vents. Starting with the creation of cool or warm air in the actual furnace air conditioner or heat pump. Once the temperature is set at the thermostat cold air from the home is pulled into the system where it passes through the air filter removing allergens like pollen and dust. Though traditional forced air systems remain prevalent heating and cooling technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in the years since ductwork came to the forefront.
