{{stub|date=2015-10-16}}Many homes today that were built years ago may not have adequate or sufficient duct systems, which often leads to a negation of the energy efficiency present in most of today's furnaces. In other words, you might be losing a lot of the heat produced by your furnace before it ever reaches the inside of your house. By learning how to install heating ducts, you will be able to modify the duct work in your house to maximize efficiency and save some money in the long run.

Using that information, you can make an educated guess on how much actual duct work length you'll need.
