​Our certified technicians follow a thorough, step-by-step procedure to ensure your duct system is properly sealed and performing efficiently.
WHY IS DUCT LEAKAGE TESTING IMPORTANT?
Your ductwork plays a crucial role in delivering conditioned air throughout your home or building. When ducts are damaged or leaking, significant energy loss can occur. A Duct Leakage Test pinpoints where air is escaping and verifies that your HVAC system is operating at peak efficiency. Properly sealed ducts enhance comfort, reduce energy costs, and support a healthier indoor environment.
Key benefits of duct leakage testing include:
-
Energy Efficiency: Leaky ducts waste energy and force your HVAC system to work harder. Testing and sealing improve system performance and can lower energy usage.
-
Improved Comfort: When ducts are sealed correctly, air flows evenly throughout your home, helping maintain consistent temperatures in every room.
-
Better Indoor Air Quality: Gaps in ductwork can pull in dust, allergens, and other contaminants. Sealing your ducts promotes cleaner, healthier air.
-
Code Compliance: Duct leakage testing ensures your system meets Massachusetts energy codes and Stretch Code requirements—essential for permitting and passing inspections.
Duct Leakage Testing
OUR DUCT LEAKAGE TESTING PROCESS
​Initial Assessment
We start with a comprehensive inspection of your ductwork and HVAC system to identify potential problems, such as loose connections, leaks, or improperly sealed joints.
Pressure Testing
Using advanced testing equipment, we pressurize the duct system to measure the amount of air escaping through leaks. This controlled testing method provides precise and reliable results.
Leak Detection
Our team examines all ducts, joints, and connections with specialized tools to accurately locate any points of air leakage. Both supply and return ducts are evaluated to ensure full system integrity.
Analysis and Report
After testing is complete, you’ll receive a detailed report outlining the findings, pinpointing leakage areas, and providing recommendations for sealing or repairs.
Post-Testing Verification
