Why Use Dampers for Ductwork

If you heat your home using hot air blown through ducts then chances are you’ll need a system of hot air control using dampers for ductwork. The reason for this is quite straightforward in that from the source of the hot air, the temperature and pressure at which it is pushed into the ductwork system will be very high, but they might not be the levels at which you want it to enter all of the different rooms. To get around this, a series of Volume Control Dampers (VCD) can be deployed inside the ductwork to give manual or automatic control of the air flow.
