How Air Balancing Works
In its simplest form, air diagnostics and balancing is the process of testing and adjusting your air conditioning system to deliver the right amount of air to each room in your home. The actual air balancing process includes a number of related tests that determine the performance of your air conditioning and heating system. Our technicians use air balancing tools to measure the amount of air at each grille, system pressures, temperature and humidity. The results of all these tests are compiled into a report to determine how well your system is functioning.
What Air Diagnostics & Balancing Can Do For Your System
It’s not uncommon to find a system 30% to 50% low on airflow. Air passes through the equipment and carries the heating or cooling inside. The effectiveness of the equipment is entirely dependent on the amount of airflow. When a certified technician from Cal-West Air Conditioning measures the airflow he can "see" system performance.
With this information he can diagnose, repair and balance the duct system for maximum system performance. The end result is having rooms that are the same temperature, cleaner air, better humidity control and real energy savings.
NCI Certified Technicians
There are less than 5000 individuals in the world are trained and certified in air balancing today, and Cal-West technicians are among this select group.
NCI certified technicians are different than standard HVAC technicians. Most companies are in business to just fix or replace heating and cooling equipment. A certified air balancing technician considers the entire system and is qualified to test, diagnose, and repair your ducts as well as your equipment.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that replacing your furnace or air conditioner is the only way to lower your utility bills. Those big boxes that heat and cool are reliant upon the distribution system that delivers cold or warm air to each room. If a contractor doesn’t check them then they are only addressing part of the puzzle. Compare it to installing a brand-new race car engine on an old beat up sedan.
A heating contractor with diagnostic experience should always check the static pressure of your system whenever repairing or planning to replace your heating and/or cooling equipment. A familiar comparison is when you go to your doctor; someone always checks your blood pressure. Like blood pressure, static pressure is one of the key vital signs of your comfort system.
Better Efficiency Through Air Balancing
This test helps your contractor identify any significant blockage or leakage. With this initial testing along with an in-depth interview, Cal West Air Conditioning’s NCI certified technicians can recommend the appropriate diagnostic tests followed by recommendations to correct existing issues and optimize your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
Our technicians will measure and adjust the volume of airflow into each room. By doing this, every room in your home will be as comfortable as possible with the equipment you have on hand. Once your system is properly balanced, your entire system will work more efficiently, leading to lower monthly bills and less required maintenance and repairs.
