Air Problems
If you are having comfort or air circulation problems, investigate the
ductwork to see if it is contributing to or causing the problem. Begin by locating
the ductwork, tracing it from the heating or cooling unit to the rooms it
serves. Now that you know where each branch duct leads, you are in a better position
to ask whether your system is likely to be a problem or a big energy loser.
Here are the things to look for:
Uninsulated Ducts in Unconditioned Spaces
Disconnected, Torn, or Damaged Ducts
Blind-Alley Ducts
No Return-Side Ductwork
Supply- and Return-Side Leakage
Unbalanced Air Flow
Poor Duct Layout
Health Hazards
