What types of HVAC leaks can you detect?

We detect air leaks in ductwork, water leaks in hydronic systems, refrigerant leaks in cooling systems, and steam leaks in heating systems using specialized diagnostic equipment.

How do you test for air duct leaks?

We use duct blaster testing, thermal imaging, and smoke testing to identify air leaks in ductwork. This helps improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality.

Can HVAC leaks affect indoor air quality?

Yes, duct leaks can allow contaminants, dust, and moisture to enter the system, significantly impacting indoor air quality and occupant health.

How often should commercial HVAC systems be tested for leaks?

We recommend annual comprehensive testing for most commercial systems, with quarterly checks for critical facilities like hospitals and data centers.

Impact of HVAC Leaks

HVAC system leaks can significantly impact building performance, energy costs, and occupant comfort and health.

Energy Waste: Duct leaks can waste 20-30% of conditioned air, increasing energy costs.
Poor Indoor Air Quality: Leaks can introduce contaminants and reduce air quality.
Comfort Issues: Uneven temperatures and humidity control problems.
Equipment Strain: Systems work harder to maintain conditions, reducing lifespan.
