Elgen Controls Your Airflow With Its HVAC & Duct Damper Hardware Line
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009
Accomplished carpenters or heating and ventilation specialists are often in high demand during the summer months as that is a popular time for many contractors and private home builders to begin projects. But don’t worry; when the season gets hectic, the specialists at Elgen and Capital Hardware are ready to deal with the pressure. It is important for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) experts to have all of the necessary equipment at their disposal for every job. At Elgen, we believe that one of the most important materials for an HVAC specialist to have at his or her disposal is the proper damper hardware for each particular job.
The first thing to know about dampers is that they are the piece of hardware that helps to regulate or even stop airflow through a chimney, air duct, VAV box or other type of equipment that is intended to allow airflow throughout the house. These dampers are required in order to be able to control the intensity and direction of the air that will flow through a house’s central heating and air conditioning system. Having the proper damper hardware will ensure that your dampers are always in good working order, and if you’re not sure about what you need, the specialists at Elgen and our distributor Capital Hardware are ready and willing to answer your questions.
When discussing dampers it’s important to realize that they can occur in several different forms depending on where in the house the air flow is occurring, and different damper hardware is necessary for each different type of damper. For instance, dampers in a chimney flue are installed so that moisture, animals and debris like leaves and sticks can’t travel all the way down the chimney stack to the fireplace below. The Elgen line of damper hardware is able to accommodate all kinds of chimney flue needs, including rare sizes or shapes.
In some larger commercial buildings, the dampers may be opened and closed automatically by a computer program or electronic thermostat, and these types of dampers require much more sophisticated damper hardware than residential dampers that are simply opened and closed by hand. There are also some certain kinds of dampers that can be used to prevent fire from spreading inside walls and through air ducts. If you are interested in learning about the advantages of using this automatic hardware, and would like to be able to explain it to your clients, call the Capital Hardware specialists, as we’ve been dealing with the latest damper technologies for years, and can help you understand the differences.
