Duct Replacement
Dirty Air Ducts
Clean Air Ducts
Zoned Dampers
The Zone Dampers are air valves placed in the forced air duct work for each zone. They are controlled by the System Controller. While the air conditioning system is running, the zone dampers for any zone thermostat not calling will close and zone dampers for the zones calling will remain open. Conditioned air is only directed to the zones needing it. All dampers remain open in ventilation mode. Multiple dampers may be connected (slaved) to one thermostat.

How to Prevent Duct Contamination
Whether or not you decide to have the air ducts in your home replaced, committing to a good preventive maintenance program is essential to minimize duct contamination. To prevent dirt from entering the system.
- Use the highest efficiency air filter recommended by the manufacturer of your heating and cooling system
- Change filters regularly
- If your filters become clogged, change them more frequently
- Be sure you do not have any missing filters and that air cannot bypass filters through gaps around the filter holder
- When having your heating and cooling system maintained or checked for other reasons, be sure to ask the service provider to clean cooling coils and drain pans
- During construction or renovation work that produces dust in your home, seal off supply and return registers and do not operate the heating and cooling system until after cleaning up the dust
- Remove dust and vacuum your home regularly. (Use a high efficiency vacuum (HEPA) cleaner or the highest efficiency filter bags your vacuum cleaner can take. Vacuuming can increase the amount of dust in the air during and after vacuuming as well as in your ducts)
- If your heating system includes in-duct humidification equipment, be sure to operate and maintain the humidifier strictly as recommended by the manufacturer
