Have you ever heard of high velocity AC? This type of cooling idea uses air duct, however it is half the size.
- Typical air duct is around 7-8 8 inches wide and is made of metal.
Most people try to avoid any twists and turns in the ducts because the seams are fragile. When air duct cleaning happens, it is strenuous on those bends. It is really easy to pop a seam or make a hole. Then once the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C turns on, all the air is leaking out of that hole. It is easy for sticks, dirt and even small critters to get into that big of a space as well. With high velocity AC, the ducts are tiny, not much is getting in there. Also, the air duct is made out of durable, stretchy material. Do you have an older home? Typically air duct cannot go in an older house. The upgrade process requires walls and a ceiling being ripped down. It is strenuous on the home. With high velocity A/C the ducts can particularly slip into the slats of the house and not be a messy process. How the idea works is better than a central cooling system as well. It is called high velocity for goodness sake. Think about it! The A/C quickly whips around the house and through the tiny ducts. With a traditional cooling system you can expect 30 minutes to an minute to lower the temperature a few degrees. With this little idea you are only waiting a few minutes to have the desired temperature you set on the temperature control.
