Does the placement of your HVAC ducts matter? Well, it’s important to remember that placement does directly impact costs. Ideal placement means lower heating, energy, and even repair costs. Not only is this healthy for your wallet, but for your comfort. It may be hard to understand why you might end up with poor duct placement, but keep this in mind. Some builders may determine placement based on what is easiest and cheapest in the short term, not what will best meet your needs.
How can you tell if you have fallen victim to bad placement? Firstly remember that bills will be up and efficiency will be down. If you know of any ducts near a door, this is also a bad sign. Any ducts on exterior walls aren’t optimally placed. However, this is more common in older homes. This can lead to problems with moisture and displaced insulation.
