There are many reasons to expand or renovate your ductwork. Maybe you currently have a ductless house and want central heating and air.

Whatever air duct installation you need in Hays County, Garner can provide you with professional, dependable ductwork.
Ductwork installation generally costs between $3,000 and $9,000, with a national average of around $6,000. Faulty ductwork can result in energy losses of up to 50% for your HVAC system. Although installing HVAC ductwork is expensive, the money you save over time will be well worth it. The final price varies depending on the system's size, materials, and location.
The maximum lifespan of ductwork is 20 to 25 years. However, after 15 years, it starts to deteriorate and significantly lowers the efficiency of your HVAC system, making replacement the wiser course of action.
The ductwork expands during the winter because of heating, while it contracts because of cooling during the summer. This temperature caused movement can separate seams and ductwork, leading to leaks. Poorly sealed ductwork that is not fastened with screws, mastic, or aluminum duct tape may occasionally pull itself apart completely. Return duct disconnections are also a possibility.

This is presuming that 300 linear feet of aluminum ducts, along with insulation, 10 vents, and 2 returns, are being replaced. However, it can cost up to $12,000 to retrofit 300 linear feet of brand-new ductwork into an existing house.
Although replacing ductwork can be done on your own, it is a delicate and involved project that necessitates some prior understanding of how HVAC systems are built. If you do decide to tackle the task yourself, it is best done with the aid of skilled contractors, which can significantly reduce the issues you run into. Inadequate installation can obstruct airflow and lower the overall effectiveness of your HVAC system. The efficiency of your HVAC system will depend on how your new ducts are installed, making them crucial to long-term energy and financial savings.
If you are replacing your 30-year-old HVAC system with a new, high-efficiency unit, you will likely need to replace any outdated ductwork. First, you must insist that the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) calculations known as Manual J and D be completed by your HVAC contractor. The layout of the ductwork that best balances the forces opposing it with the requirements for airflow is determined using these manual calculations. For instance, due to the higher airflow, outdated ductwork may be too small to function effectively with new HVAC systems.
