They've come a long way, and they've learned why quality ductwork matters. What Is Ductwork? Ductwork...

During summer and winter months, energy bills tend to, unsurprisingly, go up as HVAC systems are put to work.

They’ve probably noticed that they’re not getting the airflow out of the vents that they should be. Maybe they have rooms that are hotter than others. Therefore, the logical conclusion is that not enough air is being pushed through the ducts and into rooms further away from the unit. So, the next logical leap would be that they need a bigger, and more expensive, air conditioner so all that air gets pushed through, right? Well, most likely not. Sure, someone will sell one to them, an...
