Are your ducts placed properly?
Is preventive maintenance critical?
Overview
Good duct placement gives the lowest air conditioning costs, heating costs, energy costs, repair costs and highest comfort.
This page explains ducts and ducting
for air conditioning and heating.
Specifically good duct placement.
By understanding duct placement you will be able to walk around your home or office and quickly determine if your ducts are placed for best effect.
Ducts and duct placement.
Duct placement is very important in air conditioning, heating, comfort and energy costs. Ducts deliver either warmed or cooled air throughout the building. Often builders or air conditioning contractors place ducts where it easiest to do so. This is to save them money, not you. Our section on air conditioning facts gives energy savings on duct repair along with the percentage of homes in California with leaking ducts.
Bad duct placement like in the room below will cause your air conditioning and heating bills to be high and comfort low.
The duct is too close to the door! Air comes in and quickly circles out the door back to the heater to be either heated or cooled. Red areas take much longer to heat / cool as incoming heated / cooled air can only (with this duct placement) mix slowly with the old air. The system must run longer to get the room to the temperature you want. Your energy and repair costs go up!
Why are bad ducting jobs done? Two reasons. The materials cost less (shorter duct runs) and it takes far less time to install ducting where the attic is higher (labor savings). CONCLUSIONS: A lower cost to install, but a higher cost to operate in both heating and air conditioning modes. Over the years, extra energy and air conditioning system repair costs can easily reach many thousands of dollars.
Look around your home. Do you see any bad duct placement?
Good duct placement for air conditioning and heating efficiency and comfort.
This room has well placed ducts. Heated or cooled air comes into the room furthest away from the door thus pushing old room air out and back to the heater to be air conditioned or heated as required. The air conditioning or heating both work less with lower energy and repair costs
Take a look around your home. Are the ducts placed away from the door in each room so they push air out? If they are, your air conditioning efficiency is good from the issue of duct placement.
Duct placement effects air conditioning and heating comfort, efficiency and repair.
Additionally but important, when a room door is closed is there an opening big enough to allow old room air to escape. Most often smaller rooms rely on old air escaping under the door. Is this opening 2-2.5" high? Is the carpet or flooring blocking the air escape? If so, either cut the bottom of the door so there is 2 to 2.5 inches for the old air to escape. OR install a grate in the door. Make sure the grate slats, slant down so no-one can see inside, particularly the bedrooms!
