Is Your Dallas Home’s HVAC Ductwork Holding You Back? Get the Truth About Airflow!

Many Dallas homes have overlooked ductwork issues impacting AC performance, even new systems. At Greentech Engineering Heating & Air Conditioning, we see it often: suboptimal duct design is a major culprit.
Why? In Dallas, for most residential homes, there isn’t a specific city requirement for every duct design to be performed by a licensed engineer or to strictly follow industry standards like ACCA Manual D and Manual S. This means HVAC contractors or builders often handle it during construction, and budget concerns can lead to compromises. Finding truly “perfect” ductwork, even in newer, higher-end homes, is uncommon.
You might ask, “My old AC worked fine, why does my new one need ductwork changes?” Good question! Older systems were often more forgiving of airflow restrictions. Newer, high-efficiency SEER2 systems use advanced components like thermal expansion valves and ECM motors that demand precise airflow. Too little airflow can cause issues like system freeze-up or even motor burnout, potentially damaging your compressor! Modern HVAC equipment, regardless of brand or model, requires correct airflow to function efficiently and last.
No matter the newer or older unit, without proper airflow, you’ll experience:
• Reduced efficiency & higher energy bills
• Uneven cooling/heating
• Premature system wear
• Increased noise
At Greentech Engineering Heating & Air Conditioning, we assess your entire HVAC system, including ducts, to ensure your new unit performs optimally and saves you money. If modifications are needed, we’ll explain why.
Don’t let inadequate ductwork compromise your comfort or investment.
