Why is Ductwork Important?
Ductwork plays a crucial role in your mobile home. It works as the path to make sure that air is being distributed evenly throughout your home. Properly installed and maintained ductwork helps reduce electricity costs, as it makes sure that heated or cooled air is not escaping. This also helps keep your HVAC system running to the best of its ability.
Mobile Home Ductwork Supplies
At American Mobile Home Supplies, we carry many different ductwork supplies for your needs, including:
- Insulated Flex Ducts - Ducts that are easy to maneuver and bend. These ducts are easy to install, especially in small spaces, making them a perfect fit for your mobile home. The insulated factor also helps reduce electricity costs.
- Register hoods - Usually installed into the floor and control the direction of the airflow into a space.
- Collars - A transition piece used within ductwork. They are used to connect tubing from the main duct to other parts of the house.
- Reducers - Use when a duct size needs to be changed, a reducer helps keep the same amount of air flow while connecting to another item.
- Tape - Used to help secure and seal. Usually used during the installation of ducts
- Duct Ties - Used during the installation of ducts to secure tubing and other materials. Make sure there are no leaks in the airflow.
Each is available in different sizes to fit your HVAC system correctly. A good fit ensures that your system will be working in tip-top shape. Some things to keep in mind when looking for the correct sizes of ducts and accessories include the following:
- Duct Run Length - The distance from where the duct connects to the HVAC system to where it meets the register vent.
- Twists and Turns- These are taken into account when measuring your duct run length.
- The CFM - Also known as cubic feet per minute of air. This is the amount of air that the system needs to move through the ductwork each minute.
Once you have these measurements, you can purchase all of the ductwork supplies that you need to complete your job. If you are not sure what your job will need, consider reaching out to our customer service center, where one of our HVAC professionals can properly assist you!
