Duct Leakage Testing
Duct leakage testing, or duct testing, is a go-to solution for assessing the efficiency and integrity of HVAC systems. It ensures that air ducts are properly sealed, helping homeowners and businesses optimize energy usage and indoor air quality while complying with regulations and standards. Whether for new construction or existing structures, duct testing is a crucial step towards a more efficient and healthier environment.
Duct testing can also be an effective way to diagnose a leaky envelope, making it easier to fix the problem and achieve the air tightness you require.
A leaky home or building can cause a lot of issues, including high energy costs and allergens and pollutants infiltrating your home. In the Pacific Northwest, fire season affects us all and with a blower door and duct test we can quantify the amount of smoke entering your home, as well as find the most leaky spots and seal them. Pollen can also enter your home or building and cause allergies for you, your family, or your employees. Through thorough testing we can find the source of all of these and fix them for you. By sealing these leaks, we not only improve indoor air quality but also create a healthier, more comfortable environment for everyone inside.
We offer fog and thermal imaging testing to find the leakiest spots in your structures envelope. Through fog testing we can see exactly how the air moves in you home and identify the exact problem spots that let air in. Thermal imaging can help us diagnose where leaky spots are and help us find flaws in insulation. These combined methods allow us to precisely locate and address energy inefficiencies, ensuring that your home remains comfortable and energy-efficient. By identifying these problem areas, we can recommend targeted solutions that will improve insulation and reduce heating and cooling costs.
