Another few years have passed and now it’s time for you to perform maintenance on your HVAC system. It takes time and money, and then you have to do it all again in the next few years. You should instead consider replacing the material in your HVAC system with sheet metal. Though thin, sheet metal has proven to be strong, efficient, and cost-effective. Whether you are a facilitation manager for a large company or responsible for new construction projects, sheet metal is highly recommended for ventilation ducts.
Sheet metal can withstand large amounts of pressure along with the harsh weathers ranging from frigid to scorching. It is lighter than other material used for ventilation ducts. Regardless, it’s the custom fabrication of the sheet metal that is specifically tailored for your business. Sheet metal is cost- and time-effective because it’s simpler to make. The material isn’t imported from across the sea. Not only does it save money for HVAC contractors, but it saves on your company’s energy bills in the long run.
The Efficiency of Sheet Metal for Your HVAC System
There are a number of ways that sheet metal is economical for your company:
- custom fabrication reduces air leaks
- the relatively smaller size allows for better air volume and distribution
- easier to manage
Sheet metal is always custom fabricated, and this is beneficial. Regular, generic-shaped air ducts are not as stable; they have a tendency to move and bend while in use. This causes air leaks. Air leaks mean that your ventilation would have to work even harder to get the air to its destination. It will stay on longer and increase your energy bill. Custom fabricated sheet metal is sealed tightly and cut to fit your building. It will not experience energy losses like normal air ducts.
Due to its smaller size and sealed design, sheet metal ducts allows air to flow through in smaller volumes. Therefore, the fresh air will make it to the designated rooms faster. These ducts simply have better control of the air volume. As a result, this is another way your HVAC systems won’t have to work as hard and saves your company money on the energy bill.
Maintenence should still be required every few years for your HVAC systems. However, sheet metal makes it easier for HVAC technicians to service. You also will not be required to have to replace it every few years. This is because custom fabricated sheet metal ducts are more durable, and is yet another money-saver.
