Manual D Duct Design Service
Heating and Air Duct Design and Floor Plan Layout
Our Manual D service is custom designed for residential projects. A schematic drawing of the HVAC duct system including locations of trunk lines, branch ducts, outlet registers, and inlet grilles are included with design.
Manual D is the ACCA method used to determine the overall duct layout and sizes in HVAC design. Once we know how much A/C you need, what equipment you have, and how you will distribute the air, we can design the duct system. It is very important to make sure the right amount of air gets to the right room for ultimate comfort.
What are some problems that arise from the wrong HVAC duct design or size?
- Uneven temperature distribution, as in "Goldilocks Homes"-some rooms will be too hot in the summer while other rooms are too cold in the winter.
- Uneven air distribution causing and improper duct design causing inadequate air flow and your A/C coil to freeze up.
- If the unit is working hard to keep up due to design flaws, then the equipment might not last as long and you'll find yourself replacing it earlier than normal.
- If your heating and air ductwork isn't properly sealed or leaks then the possibility of moisture will build up and could cause mold.
- The right duct design can save home owners money.
