Trunk Line - Sharp Turn Instead of Straight

jpmorgan12
9 years ago

My new Trane XL16C packaged unit and duct work was installed last week. I noticed that instead of a straight trunk line to the unit, it runs to the wall, and then has a sharp turn right then a sharp turn left to the opening in the wall/unit.

1. From an air flow and noise standpoint, does this matter?

2. Would the system be more efficient with a straight line? There is plenty of room.

2. Is it a difficult thing for an HVAC company to correct? And should I ask them to correct it?

Thank you
