Commercial Air Duct Insulation You Can Trust

Over time, air duct insulation can deteriorate, leading to uneven cooling/heating, frequent or noisy cycling, higher utility bills, contamination by pollutants and other unfortunate events.

Aire Serv’s dedicated, expert service professionals use a comprehensive approach to mitigate issues and ensure optimal energy efficiency, balanced cooling/heating and improved indoor air quality.

Our installation process for air duct insulation includes:

1. System Assessment
• Inspect existing ductwork to assess condition, age and suitability for continued use
• Check for signs of wear such as corrosion, holes or dents
• Evaluate existing insulation for any deteriorating, missing or improperly installed insulation
• Use thermal imaging to identify leaks, obstructions or design flaws
2. Air Duct Insulation Installation
• Choose the appropriate insulation materials and preferred application technique
• Seal all seams, joints and connections to prevent air leakage
3. Testing and Inspection
• Pressurize the duct system to identify any leaks
• Measure airflow in various parts of the ductwork to ensure proper distribution
• Check the insulation’s R-value across different sections to ensure adequate thermal control

When Is It Time to Upgrade Your Commercial Property’s Ductwork?

Aire Serv also provides air duct install services for complete system upgrades. This may be a better option for commercial properties that are dealing with ductwork issues.

Signs Your Ductwork Needs an Upgrade

•  Dirty air vents
•  Noisy ductwork
•  Spiking utility bills
•  Poor airflow
•  Uneven heating or cooling
•  Increased dust, mold or mildew
•  Clogged air filters

Air Serv offers four types of ducts depending on your property’s unique needs. Your service professional will review the materials as well as typical applications and configurations for each type.

• Flexible ducts

What to Expect During a Commercial Air Duct Install

Once the materials are selected, our service professionals can quickly begin the air duct install process, which consists of:

1. Assessment and Design
• Detailed inspection of HVAC and building layout including consideration of size, climate control zones and system capacity
• Analyze heating, cooling and ventilation needs including peak loads, air quality and energy goals
• Develop tailored ductwork design for optimal airflow, energy conservation and cost-effectiveness
2. Duct Creation or Extension
• Plan routes for new or extended ductwork to minimize airflow disruption and energy loss
• Fabricate duct sections to meet design specs
• Ensure new ductwork integrates without compromising system efficiency
3. Expert Installation
• Install ductwork and vents strategically to avoid efficiency loss
• Insulate and seal ductwork to prevent heat loss/gain and air leakage
• Test system for airflow and leaks; calibrate for even air distribution and optimal performance

When to Add Additional Ducts/Vents to Your Commercial Property

Another option Aire Serv offers for commercial properties is the addition of new ducts/vents. This may include establishing all-new duct locations or extending the ducts into areas with limited or reduced airflow.

Most property managers consider this option when remodeling or expanding commercial spaces. But how do you know if this is the right solution for your facility?

These are the top five reasons to add new air ducts/vents to a commercial property:

1. Building expansion (size or layout) or major renovations that alter interior spaces or usage
2. Imbalanced air distribution that doesn’t adequately cover new areas
3. When upgrading the HVAC system
4. To improve overall energy efficiency and reduce operational costs
5. To meet updated building codes or industry standards

The air duct installation process is similar to a full system upgrade. We’ll ensure the air duct additions meet your current needs and are scalable for future modifications.

When you choose Air Serv, you can be confident we’ll review your options thoroughly and answer all of your questions. Our focus is on efficiency, cost-effectiveness and minimal disruption to your facility's operations.
