Duct Leakage Testing
Duct leakage testing is a way to ensure that ducts have been installed and sealed properly. The air tightness of duct work is useful when trying to improve energy conservation.
Duct leakage testing is used in buildings that have a forced air delivery system for heating and cooling.
Key benefits of having duct leakage test done:
- Improve indoor air quality (leaky returns can pull air from uncontrolled spaces resulting in humidity problems or contaminants entering indoor air)
- The system is optimized and consumes less energy
- Reduce potential noise issues
