  1. Registers and Grilles: These are the vents or openings where air enters and
    exits the rooms. Supply registers release conditioned air, while return grilles
    help pull air back into the system. The placement and design of these registers
    can influence the efficiency and comfort of the system.

  2. Air Filter: Air filters are typically located in the return duct or near the air handler,
    and their job is to remove dust, debris, and other particles from the air before it
    circulates through the system. Clean filters are vital for the air quality and the
    efficiency of the HVAC system.

  3. Ductwork: This is the series of connected channels, often made of metal,
    fiberglass, or flexible materials, that form the network through which air flows
    from the air handler to the rooms and back. Properly installed, insulated, and
    sealed ducts are essential for energy efficiency and preventing air leaks.


    The air duct system operates by maintaining balanced airflow: air is pushed
    through supply ducts, flows into the living spaces, and is drawn back through
    return ducts. This cycle continues as the system constantly recycles air and
    maintains the desired temperature and air quality. Properly designed and
    maintained air ducts ensure that the HVAC system operates efficiently,
    maintaining consistent temperatures, reducing energy consumption, and
    providing clean, healthy air.


    Regular maintenance, including duct cleaning and inspection, is important for
    ensuring that the air duct system continues to function effectively, preventing
    airflow issues, and avoiding potential contaminants that could affect the
    system’s performance or indoor air quality
