What we did
A request for new ductwork led us to this Lexington home in August, where the homeowner wanted a supply run added for a bathroom.
We removed the existing boot and flex duct and installed the new run properly. The boot is the fitting that connects a duct to the register opening, and the flex duct carries air from the system to that point. Getting both right makes the difference between a run that delivers air well and one that loses it along the way. The drywall in the space was not yet finished, so part of the job has to wait. We will return to install the white ceiling supply register once the drywall is done.
Bathrooms are often among the harder rooms in a house to keep comfortable. They can feel chilly in winter and stuffy in summer if they do not get enough conditioned air. Adding a supply run improves air distribution in the space. For a Kentucky home, where the weather swings from humid summers to cold winters, making sure every room has a proper supply of air helps the whole house feel more even, and it lets the HVAC system do its job in a room that might otherwise be left out.
