The Importance of HVAC Insulation

When you think of metal ductwork, you may think about those noisy booms and cracks that come with it. The acoustical properties of HVAC ducting insulation can help absorb these operational noises, minimizing sound transfer.

Because HVAC systems directly control your heating and air conditioning, proper insulation can pay off. By adding thermal HVAC insulation, you’ll see improved temperature control which can reduce energy loss. This will help your HVAC system work more efficiently and you’ll even see a reduction in your utility costs.

Choosing the Right HVAC Insulation

There are different types of HVAC duct insulation solutions. Determining what to use is dependent on the project needs. Here are the common types of HVAC insulation and their primary benefits:

– Duct Liner: Used to line sheet metal ducts when both thermal and acoustical performance is desired.
– Duct Board: Fabricated into the duct itself, duct board offers both sound and thermal control.
– Duct Wrap: Thermal insulation installed on the outside of sheet metal ductwork helps to increase the efficiency of the system and with FSK facing can aid in the condensation control design of a system.
