When it’s time to upgrade your air conditioning system, a big question looms: Do you need to replace your ductwork at the same time? For many Cedarburg homeowners, this isn’t just a technical question—it’s a choice that affects everything from the effectiveness of your cooling system to potential cost savings and in-home comfort.
Making the right decision here can ensure that your investment in a new AC system delivers the best possible return, both in terms of energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
Understanding Your Ductwork
Think of your ductwork like it’s your home’s circulatory system —it distributes cool air throughout your living spaces and creates a comfortable environment for you and your family.
If there’s a problem with your ducts, even the best AC systems can falter. Imagine trying to run a marathon while you’re breathing through a straw—that’s what an undersized ductwork system is like for a new AC unit. It will struggle to keep your home cool during hot summer days, overworking the system and ramping up your energy bills.
Assessing the Need for Replacement
To determine whether your ductwork needs replacing when getting a new AC system, it’s best to have it professionally looked at. Here at Capital, our approach is centered around first assessing whether your existing ductwork is set up correctly.
Our Duct Doctors evaluate your ducts and their performance in their current state, as well as if they can match your new system’s specific needs. Different AC units have different airflow requirements, and if your current ductwork isn’t up to par, it could spell trouble down the line.
Expert Evaluation, Tailored Advice
Like any home appliance or system, ductwork can suffer from wear and tear and become less efficient over time. We believe that ductwork should usually be replaced around every 20 years. So, if you’re wondering whether your ductwork can withstand a new AC system for the summer, let our experts help.
Our duct doctors, backed by design experts, will review your system thoroughly to determine if upgrading your system or making a simple adjustment to what you already have is the best choice.
