Duct Installation

Before installing a new furnace or air conditioner, you may just assume that your residential or commercial property has all of the necessary ducts installed and ready to go. But what a lot of companies don’t tell you is that even though you may have the necessary ducts to install a new furnace or air conditioner, it may not be enough to optimally and efficiently heat or cool your home or office.

We provide duct installation and repair to all kinds of businesses, places of worship, hospitals and homes of varying size and age.

Over time, your ducts will move around because of thermal stress and vibration –winter heating causes ductwork to expand whereas running your air conditioner in the summer can cause your ducts to contract. It’s just the way that metal responds to the variations in heating and cooling in our Canadian climate. This expansion and contraction places undue stress on your ducts which may cause ducts and their seams to be pulled apart – this is the perfect storm for leaks. You want to avoid leaks because they will lead to the inefficient heating and cooling of your home as warm and cold air escapes from these perforations.

In addition to leaks, aging air ducts can have deteriorating moisture barriers that play an important role in preventing condensation. Air ducts and moisture barriers that are aging or in bad shape can cause further water leaks, which can ultimately cause irreversible damage to furniture and other cherished personal belongings while making it possible for the development of harmful mold. Not only do these problems cause inefficient cooling, discomfort and unforeseen health problems, these leaks will continue to become a bigger headache if these problems compound over time. The last thing you want after installing a new furnace or air conditioner is costly repair down the line or expensive heating and cooling bills. At Protect HVAC, we ensure, before installing a new furnace or air conditioner, that your home or commercial property has high quality ducts to adequately heat or cool your space.
