Duct boosting- How to increase airflow in ducts
HVAC is the acronym for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning. All these types of units have connections to air ducts and need maintenance and service to ensure they operate properly. The main reason for keeping your HVAC unit well taken care of is to increase air flow and maintain good consistent circulation throughout your home.
Adding a duct booster in the mix will ensure your unit is more efficient than it initially was, as well as increase the air flow. Nobody wants to have cold spells in winter, nor does one want heat periods in summer due to inconsistent units and poor ductwork.
Ductwork could be the main suspect causing your home to have an uneven distribution of air flow. This is because of the twist and turn design of the ducts themselves which create restrictions.
Boosting the air duct, by means of a booster fan, could help in terms of getting warm or cold air to all areas of the home quickly. This however, does not mean it will solve the issue of air flow at the root of the problem. This must obviously still be checked as there could be numerous other factors, such as peeling duct tape or dirt that is trapped in air ducts to mention a couple. With all this being said, whether or not there are these underlying issues, a booster can still be beneficial in increasing air flow and circulation.
There are many options available and they come in different brands, styles and sizes to accommodate a variety of units.
Duct boosting is not very expensive in terms of purchasing the booster fan, plus installation is not that difficult. If you are interesting in adding one to your system at home, contact Myfireplace in London, for more information or advice.
