air ducts
Your home’s air ducts, or ductwork, compose a carefully designed network for your home’s air to travel back and forth to your HVAC equipment. It’s very similar to one of our Austin tx highways.
And just like our highways have to be maintained for the good of our vehicles, your air ducts need to be properly maintained for your home’s air.
If they’re not, they can end up negatively affecting you hvac system and even your health. At BIG AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING, from installation to maintenance/repair to cleaning, our professional technicians only deliver the highest quality of work and want to leave you 100 percent satisfied with our work.
Duct Facts
Your home’s air ducts have multi uses–they’re used for your home’s heating, air conditioning, air distribution, air filtration, and dehumidification. To be able to handle all these duties, they need to be made of some pretty sturdy stuff. And they are. Typically, ductwork is created out of galvanized steel, aluminum, fiberglass duct board, flexible ducting, or fabric ducting. Each material is best suited for specific needs and locations of air ducts. When your air ducts are being designed, it’s vital that a professional who really knows ductwork, like ours at AiRCO Heating and Air Conditioning do, does the designing. Using the incorrect material can really impede airflow and may not last as long as is needed.
This complex system of ducts exists in your walls, ceilings, and floors, connecting all the rooms in your home. There are both supply and return vents, as well as many other components–plenums, dampers, vibration isolators, along with many more. Being sure everything is well maintained and clean helps to keep your system’s lifespan long, your energy costs down, and your health optimal.
At Big AC and Heating, we take care of
Installation
Designing and installing air ducts is a job only the top professionals should do–and BIG AIR does. Knowing how to customize a line for your HVAC, in both design and installation, takes years of know how. Poor air duct design can lead to inefficient use of your heating and cooling units, as well as a shortening of their lifespans. Our technicians have the experience and reliability to give you the greatest HVAC comfort in your home by pairing the right equipment with your ductwork. Customizing design and installation ductwork is what we’ve been doing for over 20 years
Maintenance and repairs
Air ducts need maintenance and repair, and our trusted technicians can take care of that as well. Poorly sealed ducts result in leaks. This can be a substantial waste of energy, which results in inefficiency and higher energy bills. Over time ductwork can develop leaks in addition to other issues like mold and rust. Let our knowledgeable technicians prevent that from happening with regular maintenance. And if it does occur, call us to restore and seal your ducts to their original condition.
Cleaning
Air duct cleaning is another wise way to maintain your air ducts. It’s inevitable that they’ll have a buildup of bacteria, mites, and dust over time. Your return air vents suck in whatever air is circulating in your home. Years of buildup can cause quite a disconcerting collection that results in obstructions in your home’s airflow and polluting your air, decreasing your indoor air quality (IAQ). Our professionals will clean your ducts, giving you back optimum comfort in your home. Air ducts are an important part of your HVAC system. With our high success record in the HVAC field, you shouldn’t trust your ducts to anyone else. Call us at 512-822-9249 if you have need of ductwork attention in any form. Our craftsmanship guarantee backs up all we do.
Ductless
We really run the full-temperature gamut here in Austin tx, from the extreme heat in summer to the more biting temperatures in winter. At BIG AIR CONDITIONING & HEATING, we know we Texans expect many options to keep us comfortable during these temperature changes. One of these options is a ductless, or mini split, heating and cooling system. These ductless mini split systems can sometimes offer the efficiency and flexibility a more traditional system can’t.
What Is It Exactly?
A ductless system is a heating and cooling system that’s entirely ductless. It doesn’t rely on your home’s ductwork or require the installation of additional ducts. This system consists of only an indoor unit (an air handling unit), an outdoor unit (a condenser or compressor), and its small conduit (housing the condensate drain, power cable, suction tubing, and refrigerant tubing) that connects the two units. It’s extremely flexible since the indoor unit is mounted either on a ceiling or a wall and can be installed almost anywhere in your home. In addition, since there’s no ductwork to leak energy, a ductless mini split is highly efficient, saving you in energy costs.

the benefits
- Efficiency
With the high heat we see here during the hotter months, the electricity cost of cooling our homes can climb pretty high. A ductless mini split gives a higher rate of efficiency due to the lack of ductwork. No ductwork, no lost energy through leaks and poor sealing. As much as up to 30 percent of energy can be lost through ductwork leaks.
- Flexibility
Due to this system’s small size, you have a lot of flexibility with where you’d like it installed. Also, there’s flexibility in heating and cooling rooms, allowing customization. With a ductless mini split, you can install four indoor units, each with its own thermostat, to one outdoor unit. This gives you the flexibility of custom zoning control throughout your home.
- Efficiency
A ductless system is much easier to install than a traditional forced-air system. It only consists of the indoor and outdoor units, along with its conduit, which usually only requires a three-inch hole for the connection. No ductwork to worry about. Also, the outdoor unit can be installed as far as 50 feet away from the indoor unit.
Offering you the most options for home comfort and the highest satisfaction is what we’re all about here at BIG AIR CONDITIONING & HEATING. If you already have a ductless mini split in your home, our professional technicians are here if you need a repair, whether it’s an emergency or not.
