Ductwork Fabrication & Installation
Putting in the right ductwork requires precision. While some homes can get by with prefabricated ductwork in some standard dimensions, others require custom fabricated ductwork. For example, some homes have a need for higher output than most prefab ductwork can handle. Other homes have less space available for the ductwork to fit into. These are two situations where custom ductwork might be necessary.
In cases like these, the fabrication process is very important for the durability of the ductwork. If the sheet metal is handled improperly and the ductwork not made correctly, it can become damaged more easily, leading to costly repairs or replacement down the road. For example, sheet metal that is not properly shaped can be punctured more easily, leaving the metal susceptible to corrosion and leaks.
Even when custom fabrication is not necessary, installing sheet metal ductwork is still a complicated process that can cause problems if not done right. For these reasons, you should always have ductwork installed and, if necessary, fabricated by a qualified professional who you know can complete the job properly.
Duct Repair, Maintenance & Modification
After installation, it’s important to maintain your ductwork. Any needed repairs should be made immediately by a professional technician in order to prevent any further damage to the ductwork, insulation, surrounding construction, or even other components of the home comfort system.
Even if your ductwork is in tip top shape, if you make any renovations to your home, such as building an addition or finishing a basement, the ductwork may need to be modified. This is a tricky process, as ducts are usually carefully installed and not designed to be moved easily, so it must be done by a trained professional. Just like all other sheet metal work, modification requires skill, precision and expert care to and avoid future issues.
