What is a common issue that can arise from improper duct sizing?

Improper duct sizing can lead to noise and airflow problems due to the mismatch between the required airflow and the capacity of the ducts. When ducts are too small for the volume of air being pushed through them, it can create high-velocity airflow, resulting in increased noise levels and turbulence. Conversely, if the ducts are too large, the air may not flow efficiently, leading to inconsistent temperatures and poor circulation throughout the space. This imbalance can compromise the overall comfort level in a building, as well as the effective operation of the HVAC system. Proper duct sizing is essential for maintaining optimal airflow and minimizing sound disturbances in a heating and cooling system.
