Duct Systems & Venting
Central Heating System Using Ducts and Vents
Are you tired of having to worry about your air duct vent system? We are professionals who specialize in installing and repairing duct systems and vents.
A central heating system is a common form of heating for a building. Many buildings use this system to heat the air, water, or floors within their structure.
The heart of the system is the boiler which produces hot water or steam. The heated water is then pumped through the pipes to radiators and convectors, where it heats people and objects in the room. It uses heat exchangers to transfer heat energy from the boiler to the air handler unit.
The vents and ducts distribute the heated air throughout the room.
Air Vent Duct System Components
These systems are a complex network of metal and plastic tubing comprising and connected to the following components:
Ducts and Pipes
Used in an air vent duct system to distribute air from the central unit to different rooms within a building.
Air handler- This is an electrical and mechanical device responsible for supplying conditioned air into the house, building, or other enclosed space. The air handling unit houses the blower fan, cooling coil, and air filters.
Plenum
A plenum is a chamber that allows air to flow freely from the supply to the return side of the system. In addition, plenums provide a convenient place for installing ductwork.
Flues-A flue is a structure designed to act as a passage through which harmful exhaust or combustion byproducts can escape.
Transitions
Transitions help circulate the air around a room and eliminate stale air spots. This is especially important in large spaces such as warehouses, gymnasiums, and churches.
Is Installing an Air Vent Duct System Worth It?
An air vent duct system is an HVAC ventilation solution that can help you keep your room or house temperature under control and the flow of air moving in a consistent pattern. Most people who install an air vent duct system find that they get so much more out of their system with it installed.
Installing an air vent duct system can be a long, complex, and time-consuming process, depending on the size of your house. You can expect to pay about $2,000-$6,000 for installation. The cost of installation varies depending on:
- The size of your home
- The type of ducts you choose
- The location of your vents in relation to the air conditioning unit
- How long it will take to install the vents

Frequently Asked Questions.
You’ll find answers to common questions about our HVAC services. Our aim is to help you understand more about how we can assist with your heating, cooling, and air quality needs.
Installing an HVAC system and ducting ranges from $6000 to $13000. However, it will cost you more if you want a separate air conditioner and gas or electric furnace. It will take several days to install new ductwork and system compared to a replacement which takes a few hours.
Design a plan ceiling on how you are going to install the duct and ensure at the center is where there is a central ceiling supply. Then connect the branches using metal collars and attach the supply branches to the outlets using tape and straps. After that, tighten the metal outlet vent to wood framing or ceiling joists with a screwdriver and screws. Then finish by sealing the connections using tape.
You need to design and select the walls for installing the ducts. Then drill holes according to size and numbers on ducts you want to install in the walls. The ducts should be insulated to avoid energy loss when passing it to registers. One register will be enough to run the HVAC ducts efficiently. Then you will link the register directly to the central unit. Direct linkage helps in better performance of the register. After that, do a test run to ensure the HVAC runs smoothly, then cover the wall. Wall drying should not worry you because the wall will automatically dry within a few days.
The cost of installing an HVAC duct is costly, though, in the long run, it will save you money. The final cost varies depending on the material, system size, and location. On average, the installation cost of ductwork is $1800 to $6500, with an average being $5000.
First, you need to decide where the return air ducts will be. Then you begin adding panning. After that, you enclose the ductwork and connect the furnace to the air return duct. Then you install the air filter, followed by installing the return air register cover. After that, your air return duct system is complete for use.
Design the ventilation before anything, then select the suitable ducting and the location for your HVAC system. Make sure to avoid bends and long runs; bends hinder airflow. You can incorporate it into the new system if you have existing ducting. After that, make sure the ductwork is sealed because if not, you will lose more than twenty percent of conditioned air. Then check if the airflow level is correct. After this, your ducting system will be ready for use.
