"Ask Adam" Adam has been in the HVAC industry for over 40 years. He has been involved in all aspects of the business from service to sales. His main interest is in customer comfort. Is There Condensation On Your Ductwork? Adam Kem, Owner Official Heating & Cooling If your ducts are in the crawl space or unfinished basement you probably have some condensation on them when your A/C is running. This is not indicative of an equipment problem, but rather, a problem with the building envelope. Whenever the surrounding air is warmer and more humid than the air within the duct system, condensation may occur. A typical example would be a glass filled with ice water that will sweat on the outside when sitting on a counter. A psychrometric chart can actually pin- point when condensation will occur. If your ducts show any condensation, try some of the following tips: O Seal and insulate all crawl spaces from outside air. Make sure your A/C is not oversized. O Insulate the duct. Install a profesional grade dehuidifier which would be the best solution. If you have any HVAC questions, call 800-350-HVAC (4822) or email adam@officialhvac.com Bella says: DID THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER DO YOU IN? Come home to cool comfort! Enjoy energy efficiency!
