Common Types of Air Ducts
Before addressing any issues with your air duct system, it’s essential to understand the different types of air ducts commonly found in residential HVAC systems
Flexible Air Duct(supply/return)
This type of duct consists of a flexible tube made of round wire coil, wrapped with fiberglass insulation, and covered with polymer plastic. It comes pre-insulated and ready to install as one piece, offering flexibility in routing through tight spaces.
Rigid Metal Air Duct(supply/return)
Hard supply air ducts are primarily constructed of aluminum. Unlike flexible ducts, these rigid tubes require manual insulation after installation. They offer durability and longevity, especially in areas with higher air pressure requirements.
Main Trunk Air Duct
The main trunk serves as the primary air distribution pipe, connecting directly to the furnace or air handler. It distributes air to supply ducts that feed registers throughout the house. Main trunk ducts are typically larger in diameter than supply ducts and are commonly made of metal, although flexible options are also available.
Dryer Vent Duct
Dryer vent ducts are solid 4-inch rigid pipes that extend from the dryer through crawl spaces or attics to exhaust heat and moisture outside the house. Proper installation and maintenance of dryer vent ducts are crucial for fire safety and efficient dryer operation.
Bathroom and Kitchen Exhaust Fan Ducts
These ducts are dedicated to venting air from bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans to the outside of the house. They typically consist of rigid or flexible ducting material and help remove excess moisture, odors, and airborne contaminants from these areas, improving indoor air quality and preventing mold and mildew growth.
Common Issues with Air Ducts
Leaky Ducts
Leaks in air ducts are a common problem that can result in significant energy loss. These leaks allow conditioned air to escape into unconditioned spaces such as attics or crawl spaces, leading to higher energy bills and reduced comfort levels.
Mold and Mildew Growth
Moisture buildup within air ducts can create an ideal environment for mold and mildew growth. Not only can this impact indoor air quality, but it can also pose health risks to you and your family, especially for those with respiratory issues or allergies.
Energy Inefficiency
Inefficient air ducts can lead to wasted energy and increased utility costs. When ducts are poorly insulated or improperly sealed, conditioned air may not reach its intended destination, resulting in overworking of the HVAC system to maintain desired temperatures.
