Duct Sizing and New AC Performance in Woodland
A duct system sized for a 2.5-ton single-stage unit may not move enough air for a 3-ton two-stage unit. The result is reduced airflow to back rooms and higher static pressure on the blower motor. Over time this shortens the life of the new unit and leaves parts of the home uncooled.
Fresh Air measures static pressure and duct capacity at the estimate. If the existing ducts are a match for the new unit, we note it and move on. If they are not, we give you a clear quote for the fix. Many Woodland homeowners choose to resize the problem branches only, which keeps cost reasonable while solving the performance gap.
