Condensation in air conditioning system ducts can be a very prevalent issue. Your air conditioning system experiences many issues due to long-term condensation. Water drops accumulating on the exterior of air conditioning ducts and vent holes are common signs of condensation. In more severe cases, it can also create little water pools on the flooring and other areas of your house. If this isn’t fixed right away, there are health risks and potentially expensive repairs.
Insulation for ductwork guarantees that air flowing through the duct system will maintain the proper temperature and won’t “leak.” Your HVAC system will have to work even harder since air leaks result in wasteful energy loss. Due to the energy squandered, this will result in higher utility bills, which is bad for the environment and you. You may be losing 10–30% of the energy required to heat or cool your home if your ductwork isn’t properly insulated. Enough ductwork insulation will stop energy loss as well as leaks, temperature drops, and condensation buildup.
Several factors can cause condensation. Water vapor cools and gathers on the surface of the ductwork when there is a significant temperature difference between the warmer air outside and the cooler air inside your air conditioning ducts. The impact gets worse as summer heats up.
Additionally, excessive moisture in the air (high indoor humidity) and a filthy HVAC air filter, which can obstruct airflow or even trap water vapor, can both result in condensation.
Condensation prevention can be achieved by wrapping ductwork.
The procedures are as follows:
- Measure the insulation you have.
- To ensure a tight fit, wrap the material around your ducts and mark the areas that need to be cut. A loose fit won’t cause the insulation layer to be crushed, so check the fit.
- Eliminate the insulation.
- Cut the insulation using a utility knife while using a straight edge or carpenter’s square as a guide.
- Apply the insulation after cleaning.
- To ensure a clean application of duct tape later, wipe the foil insulation edges. As you continue, use little pieces of tape to hold the wrapper in place.
Duct wrap also serves a crucial purpose outside of the duct. When access to the duct’s interior may not be available, wrapping the duct may be the ideal solution. This is especially true when renovating an older structure or retrofitting an existing mechanical system. Elastomeric foam around the duct offers good protection against energy loss or condensation control as well as some vibration dampening advantages. It takes two steps to install and insulate a duct since duct wrap needs to be wrapped around it once the ducts have been placed.
