A family’s custom luxury home’s appointments and features don’t mean much if they are suffering from poor air quality. Proper installation of an ENERGY STAR® certified HVAC system helps improve your family’s comfort and health long after that last moving box is unpacked.
Why a Properly Installed HVAC System is Important to Your Family’s Health
First a little HVAC 101: A heating and cooling system has two kinds of ducts:
- Supply ducts that bring warm or cold air to rooms
- Return ducts that bring air from rooms back to the HVAC system to be reheated or cooled
Watch the video to learn more about how R.E.A. Home’s goes above the code when installing ductwork.
ENERGY STAR® certified HVAC systems use a closed return system. This means air going from rooms in a home back to the HVAC system travels through a fully ducted and closed system.
It’s a dirty little secret that many home builders don’t use a closed return system. Rather, they use the space in between a home’s drywall. This space often contains dust, construction debris, and other irritants. When the HVAC system is running, air passes by those materials and irritants and ultimately circulates particulates back into the home via the supply ducts.
