Apologies is this has been discussed before - I couldn't find a search tool for the forum.
I'm wondering if I could conceivably install my own duct work to save some ca$h. I realize there needs to be a lot of care taken with the sizes of ducts so the air is distributed properly, etc. But, if I knew what size ducts to use and when to slim down closer the end of each line, would I be saving any money? I have a ranch-style home with lots of space in the attic.
It seems that the quotes I've been receiving to have a full system installed are nearly double what they'd be if I already had the ducts in place.
Thanks.
