Flexible Ductwork for Historic Home

@EdwardR048

I’m interested in assisting with the HVAC duct distribution design for your 1,750 sq. ft. single-family home. My professional engineering team has experience with residential HVAC design, duct sizing, airflow calculations, and coordination with existing forced-air equipment. We can develop an efficient supply and return layout, size trunks and branches using Manual D principles, coordinate connections to the existing furnace, and provide clear routing details for installation. We will also account for proper support, insulation, sealing, static pressure, balanced airflow, and future central-air integration. Since the home is currently gutted, we can take advantage of the open framing to develop a clean and serviceable duct layout while maintaining compliance with applicable mechanical codes. I’d be happy to review the existing furnace information, floor plans, and site conditions and provide a practical layout, scope, and timeline. Best regards,

Hello, I am a licensed Mechanical PE with over 20 years of experience in residential HVAC design, duct distribution, airflow balancing, and retrofit work in older homes. Your gutted 1750-era house provides an excellent opportunity to design a clean, efficient system before finishes are installed. My scope can include: • Room-by-room heating/load review • Manual D duct sizing and layout • Supply and return CFM schedules • Trunk, branch, register, and return sizing • Flexible-duct routing and support requirements • Furnace plenum and transition details • Static-pressure verification • Sealing, insulation, and balancing specifications • Future central-A/C coordination I will design the system around the existing oil-fired forced-air furnace while maintaining service access and minimizing unnecessary flex length and pressure loss. Please provide the house location, floor plans, furnace model/capacity, and approximate conditioned square footage.
