You may wonder how to install ductwork in existing walls or infrastructure. When you work with a professional HVAC team to install ductwork in your home or business, there are several key steps. Our team follows this process:

  • Planning: Our HVAC team will assess the building’s layout and design a ductwork system to ensure efficient airflow.
  • Cutting and fitting: We cut openings in walls, floors, or ceilings to fit the ducts. We’ll also measure and cut the duct material to the required lengths for your unique system.
  • Assembling and securing: The ducts are constructed using fittings and then securely fastened into place with brackets or hangers.
  • Sealing and insulating: Ducts are sealed with mastic or metal tape to prevent air leaks.
  • Connecting to HVAC system: Your ductwork is connected to your HVAC unit to guarantee proper distribution throughout your home.
  • Testing and balancing: The final step is to test the system to confirm there are no leaks and that airflow is balanced for optimal performance.

Sloppy ductwork equals an inefficient HVAC system. Call GEM today to schedule ductwork installation in Rhode Island or Massachusetts.
