Your ductwork is like the highway system that delivers your home comfort. When you go to the thermostat to keep your Oklahoma home comfortable, you want to rest easy knowing that your conditioned air travels efficiently through this “home comfort highway.”

But if your ductwork is prone to leaks or is improperly sized, you could be losing money every time your HVAC system turns on.

HOW TO PROPERLY SIZE YOUR DUCTWORK

The industry standard for getting your ductwork properly sized is by using what’s called the Manual D calculation from the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). This has been the go to standard for measuring heat loss and gain as it relates to duct sizes.

Using the Manual D calculation in concert with the latest in diagnostic technology and expertise will properly determine your home’s ductwork needs, and expose any leaks or improper sizing for the heating and cooling needs of your home. A full check of your ductwork includes the following:
