Abacus Plumbing's Air Duct Optimization Inspection is performed by certified NCI (National Comfort Institute) technicians. Learn more about what this means to you as a homeowner »
Here are some of the most common issues that make sense for this Air Duct Optimization and Performance Inspection, all of which can be solved by ductwork improvements and insulation solutions:
- Uneven temperaturs in rooms
- High humidity in the home
- Inadequate airflow to rooms
- HVAC System struggling to maintain the temperature even in very hot conditions
Our Air Duct Optimization & Performance Inspection process:
- One of our certified NCI technicians will evaluate your ducts to ensure your HVAC system is properly sized
- Using Manometers and the full Fieldpiece probe test kit, we will measure static pressure along with airflow.
- We will do a full assessment of the duct work to make sure it's properly sized to handle the space needed by checking return duct sizing then assessing the supply side.
- We will look at plenum sizing which is a key element for this process.
- We will look at airflow settings to "dial in" the proper airflow that the equipment requires.
With over 30 years combined experience between the managers and technicians, Abacus can improve the efficiency of your existing system by static pressure improvement and duct design.
Abacus can take a newer HVAC system (installed by home builder or otherwise) up to ten years old and bring it to its full potential, increasing your comfort without changing the system. Then, when it comes time to replace your system, you will be prepared to take full advantage of the new high efficiency equipment.
