WHY IS DUCT LEAKAGE TESTING IMPORTANT?

Ductwork is responsible for distributing air throughout a building, and any leakage or damage to ducts can lead to significant energy loss. The Duct Leakage Test helps identify where air is escaping from your duct system and ensures that your HVAC system is working efficiently. Proper duct sealing improves both comfort and energy savings.

Key benefits of duct leakage testing include:

• Energy Efficiency: Leaking ducts result in energy waste, forcing HVAC systems to work harder. Testing and sealing ducts can help reduce overall energy consumption.
• Improved Comfort: Properly sealed ducts ensure even air distribution throughout your home, providing consistent temperatures in all rooms.
• Indoor Air Quality: Unsealed ducts can lead to poor air circulation, allowing dust and allergens to circulate. Sealing ducts improves air quality.
• Compliance: Ensures your system meets Massachusetts energy codes and Stretch Code regulations, necessary for permitting and inspections.

OUR DUCT LEAKAGE TESTING PROCESS

Our team of certified professionals follows a meticulous procedure to test and ensure that your duct system is airtight:

1. Initial Assessment
   We begin by inspecting the ductwork and HVAC system to identify potential issues, such as disconnected ducts, leaks, or gaps in sealing.

2. Pressure Testing
   Using advanced duct leakage testing equipment, we pressurize the duct system to measure how much air escapes through leaks. This process is done in a controlled environment to get accurate results.

3. Leak Detection
   We carefully examine all ducts, connections, and joints using specialized equipment to pinpoint the source of any air leaks. This includes testing both the supply and return ducts.

4. Analysis and Report
   After completing the test, we provide a detailed report that outlines the results, identifies areas of leakage, and offers recommendations for sealing and repairs.

5. Post-Testing Verification
   Once any necessary repairs are made, we can perform a follow-up test to ensure that the leaks have been properly sealed and that the system meets the required standards.

BENEFITS OF DUCT LEAKAGE TESTING

• Reduced Energy Bills: Proper sealing can help reduce energy costs by ensuring that conditioned air is delivered efficiently throughout the home.
• Enhanced Comfort: Airflow is evenly distributed, preventing hot or cold spots and making indoor temperatures more consistent.
• Better Air Quality: Sealing ducts prevents contaminants from entering the air system, improving the indoor air quality.
• Meets Compliance Standards: Testing ensures that your HVAC system meets Massachusetts energy code and Stretch Code requirements for new constructions and renovations.
