Ductwork in Boone, NC
At Mountaineer Heating & Cooling, we know that your ductwork is the backbone of your HVAC system. If it’s not designed and installed correctly, even the best furnace or air conditioner can underperform. That’s why our team in Boone, NC specializes in custom-engineered ductwork designed for long-lasting performance, quiet operation, and energy efficiency.
MHC Custom Engineers All New Ductwork
Every new duct system we install is designed with precision and care. Our approach includes:
- Manual-D Design for accurate airflow calculations
- Rigid metal trunk lines, plenums, and transitions with external insulation
- Trunk and branch method (never radial “spider web” designs) for efficient, balanced airflow
The trunk and branch design allows exact control of the air volume (cubic feet per minute, or cfm) delivered to each room. This reduces friction rates, improves efficiency, and often allows a smaller system to comfortably heat and cool a space. The result? Lower upfront investment and long-term savings on energy bills.
Why We Never Use Duct Board
Unlike some contractors who still use duct board made of compressed fiberglass, Mountaineer never cuts corners. Duct board is prone to splitting, leaking, and failing within just a few years. Our rigid metal duct systems are stronger, cleaner, and built to last, ensuring consistent performance for your home or office.
Outdoor Equipment Installation Done Right
Your ductwork isn’t the only piece of the comfort puzzle—how your outdoor HVAC unit is installed makes a big difference too. That’s why Mountaineer uses:
- 3” polymer pads with a gravel base when possible (reduces vibration and prevents shifting from freeze/thaw cycles)
- Snow legs for heat pumps to allow proper drainage, preventing freeze damage and prolonging the life of your equipment
These details may sound small, but they add up to quieter operation, better performance, and fewer long-term issues.

FAQs About Ductwork in Boone, NC
1. Why is trunk and branch duct design better than radial (spider web) systems?
Trunk and branch design ensures precise airflow control, reduces friction, and improves efficiency, while radial systems often cause uneven heating and cooling.
2. How long will metal ductwork last?
With proper installation and maintenance, rigid metal ductwork can last decades—far longer than duct board systems.
3. Can new ductwork lower my energy bills?
Yes. Correctly sized and sealed ductwork reduces wasted energy and may allow a smaller HVAC system to heat and cool your home efficiently.
4. Do you replace old duct systems in existing homes?
Absolutely. We design and install new ductwork for any home that needs upgrades.
5. What makes Mountaineer different from other HVAC contractors?
We never use duct board, always calculate airflow with Manual-D design, and focus on long-term comfort, efficiency, and reliability.
