Ductwork Repair and Installation in Spring

Let the professionals of Morrow Mechanical keep your HVAC ductwork efficient and in proper working order. We provide reliable solutions to residents in The Greater Houston Area!

Ducts are an essential part of any traditional central heating and cooling system. Their importance cannot be overstated. The air conditioning unit can run all day long, but if there is a problem with the ducts, the home will never get to a comfortable temperature. Ducts help determine the efficiency of an HVAC system and can keep the air quality healthy or spread microbes, allergens, and other pollutants throughout the house.

Warning Signs: What to Look for When You Suspect Faulty Ducts

Do you think there might be issues with your ducts? Does the air conditioner seem to be working, but something still seems to be amiss? Here are some signs that will tell you to give the pros a call for inspection:

Uneven temperatures: Some rooms are too hot or too cold.
System Age: If the ductwork is 15 years old or more, it may need repair or replacement.
Allergies/Asthma: If these respiratory conditions seem to be exacerbated, it may be a problem with the ducts.
Odors: An unexpectedly musty smell may be the result of faulty ducts.
Dust: Excessive build-up of dust may be due to ductwork needing repairs.
High Energy Bills: Faulty ducts greatly decrease the efficiency of an HVAC system.

The Whys of Air Duct Repair

Unfortunately, a problem with the ductwork cannot always be easily narrowed down to one specific problem. There are many reasons that ducts can malfunction.

These include:

Leaks/Breaks in the Ducts
Uneven Airflow
Too Little Insulation
Wrong Size Ducts
Bad Seals
Poor Previous Installation Work

Duct installation is a process that takes planning and precision to be done correctly. There are spacing requirements that need to be considered and the home layout must obviously be taken into account. The planning stage will be where your supplies are calculated. If the unit is already in place, installing the ductwork is the next step.

The plenum, the mainline leading directly from the air conditioning or heating unit, is the first part to connect, and ensuring it is sealed properly is key to an efficient system. The main trunk line and branch lines that lead to various rooms must be properly sealed and insulated and must be free of sharp bends. Finally, return vents must be installed to properly circulate the air through the home.

Another great way to keep your air clean is with filtration systems. Be sure to ask about your options and protect the health and comfort of you and your family.

Air Duct Replacement Vs. Repair

How do you know whether to repair a piece of ductwork or to replace it? Most certainly, there is always a cost consideration involved. Typically it is cheaper to repair a duct than to replace it, but there are other factors to consider when deciding on the best course of action for your home.

Age: If the ductwork has been in the home for more than 15 years, it may be advisable to replace rather than continually doing small repairs.

Seals: If connections merely need strengthening and perhaps resealing, this is likely a simple repair job.

Breakage/Leaks: Perhaps the whole section is torn apart, thereby needing replacement, but other sections can be satisfactorily patched.

Types of Air Ducts in Spring, TX, & Houston Metro Area

Understanding the different types of air ducts helps in choosing the right one for your home:

Flexible Ducts: Made of flexible plastic over a metal wire coil. Ideal for tight spaces but requires careful installation to avoid kinks.

Rigid Ducts: More durable and reliable. Includes sheet metal ducts (resistant to mold), fiberglass lined ducts (for sound insulation), and fiberboard ducts (insulated and with a foil face to protect against moisture).

Sheet Metal Ducts: Made of galvanized steel or aluminum, they are durable and less likely to have mold growth.

Fiberglass Lined Ducts: Most popular for commercial applications for sound control.

Fiberboard Ducts: Composed of fiberglass strands bonded with resin and covered with a foil face for moisture protection.
