Our Pittsburgh Duct Repair And Installation Service
Your duct installation in Pittsburgh, PA, starts with a consultation and inspection. During this inspection, your reputable HVAC professional from Aire Serv will identify areas with duct leakage. They will also conduct a series of tests to determine how well each room in your home is being heated and cooled.
Once areas of concern have been identified, we’ll discuss our findings with you to ensure that you’re on the same page. If our assessment revealed that total replacement isn't necessary and air duct repair is the most economical option for you and your home, we’d recommend the latter. Otherwise, we’ll create a layout for your Pittsburgh installation and discuss this plan with you. We won’t move forward until we have your approval. Following approval, we’ll schedule you for your installation or repair appointment.
Our Installation Process And Ductwork Options
Our HVAC professionals will arrive at your home on time on the day of your installation appointment. We’ll briefly go over the project scope and expectations with you before beginning, but as soon as you give us the go-ahead, we’ll get straight to work. Based on discussions and decisions made during the consultation stage, you may have one of two main types of ductwork installed: flexible ducts or sheet metal ducts.
Flexible ductwork has gained popularity in recent years thanks to its space-saving capabilities and lower cost. As its name suggests, flexible ductwork is very movable and looks similar to a Slinky covered in pliable plastic. This makes it a great choice for very small spaces that are difficult to access, such as those in historic buildings. However, it tends to degrade more quickly than traditional sheet metal. Though there are benefits to its flexibility, our HVAC technicians will try to keep your ductwork as straight as possible, as the more curves and bends present in your ductwork, the less efficient your HVAC system will be.
If space allows it, we recommend installing sheet metal ductwork. Sheet metal ductwork has a longer lifespan, is more durable, and can be installed in segments, allowing for custom ducts to be tailored to your home.
The installation process may differ according to the home, but in general, you can expect us to take the following steps during your Pittsburgh duct repair or installation:
- Cut out vents. The vents are where air enters and exit your system through registers and grilles. If your Pittsburgh duct repair or installation requires adding vents, your HVAC expert will do this first.
- Ductwork laying. If your entire system is being replaced, your HVAC professional will lay your home’s entire new system by creating pathways from your vents to your HVAC system. If your system is being retrofitted, they’ll lay duct work only where needed.
- Ductwork sealing. Because sheet metal fabrication systems are installed in individual pieces, they'll need to be thoroughly sealed to prevent air leakage. This is done with a special kind of tape and a mastic gum product. Fiberglass insulation will also be wrapped around your tubing to improve efficiency as much as possible.
- Final clean-up. With your Pittsburgh duct installation service complete, your HVAC service professional will thoroughly clean up after themselves, leaving your home as clean as it was when they arrived. After answering any additional questions you may have, they’ll be on their way, leaving you to enjoy lower energy bills and a more efficient HVAC system.
Keeping Your New Ductwork In Great Shape
There’s no doubt about it—it's notoriously invasive to get any kind of duct installation. Pittsburgh, PA, homeowners, and business owners can prevent needing duct repair in the future by taking the time to clean their system every two to three years. Not only do dirty systems encourage deterioration, but they also reduce the overall air quality of your place.
Though you can clean your vents and air filter yourself, having a professional HVAC team thoroughly clean your airflow system with a high-powered vacuum system every year or two is a good idea. Though you’ll pay a cost for cleaning, it will be significantly less than getting a complete Pittsburgh duct installation.
