Is There Condensation On Your Ductwork? If your ducts are in the crawl space or unfinished basement you probably have some condensation on them when your A/C is running. This is not indicative of an equip- ment problem, but rather, a problem with the building envelope. Whenever the surrounding air is warmer and more humid than the air within the duct system, condensation may occur. A typical example would be a glass filled with ice water that will sweat on the outside when sitting on a counter. A psychrometric chart can actually pinpoint when condensation will occur. If your ducts show any condensation, try some of the following tips: Seal and insulate all crawl spaces from outside air. Make sure your A/C is not oversized. Insulate the duct. Install a profesional grade dehuidifier which would be the best solution.
