When Ducts get Too Big

Join hosts Matt Bruner and Adam Mufich as they welcome HVAC experts Russ King from Coded Energy Inc., Tony Amadio from PE Load Calcs, LLC and Steven Rogers from The Energy Conservatory for an insightful discussion on duct sizing - When Ducts Get Too Big. They debate the contentious question - can HVAC ductwork ever be too oversized? Drawing on years of practical field experience and engineering expertise, the guests analyze the impacts of velocity, friction rate, duct loads, airflow, balance, system performance and more. Russ, Tony and Steve share their perspectives on best practices for residential HVAC duct design using manuals like ACCA Manual D. They dispel common duct sizing misconceptions, offer troubleshooting tips, and explain why ducts that are too small tend to cause more issues than ducts sized too big. Tune in for a fascinating dialogue tackling the complex technical considerations around duct sizing limits and determining when bigger is or isn't better for HVAC system duct design.
