HVAC Performance Testing
Whole-Home Comfort Testing in Waco, Texas
At Sagan Heating & Air Conditioning, we believe that true comfort is about more than just installing the right equipment. A high-performing HVAC system depends on the overall health of your home. That is why we offer professional home performance testing throughout Waco and Central Texas. By evaluating your building’s thermal envelope, ductwork, and airflow, we are able to uncover hidden problems that may be causing energy loss, uneven temperatures, or poor indoor air quality. With these insights, we can recommend solutions that improve comfort, increase efficiency, and reduce long-term costs.
Why Performance Testing Matters
You cannot HVAC your way out of a bad thermal envelope. Even the best equipment will struggle to keep your home comfortable if leaks, poor insulation, or unbalanced airflow are left unaddressed. Performance testing allows us to look beyond the equipment itself and evaluate the full environment. A well-sealed and balanced home not only helps your system run more efficiently but also provides cleaner indoor air, fewer drafts, and consistent temperatures from room to room. For homeowners in Waco, this means lower utility bills and a more reliable level of comfort during extreme weather.
Blower Door and Pressure Tests
One of the most important parts of performance testing is identifying air leaks. Our blower door test helps locate leaks in your building envelope, which is essentially the outer shell of your home. Unsealed areas allow conditioned air to escape and outdoor air to enter, making your system work harder. Similarly, our duct leakage and pressure tests evaluate whether your ductwork is allowing air to escape before it reaches the rooms where it is needed. These tests give us the data to recommend sealing and improvements that make a significant difference in both comfort and efficiency.
Air Balancing for Consistent Comfort
Another key service we provide is air balancing. An unbalanced duct system can cause some rooms to be too hot while others are too cold. It can also create dangerous situations where appliances backdraft harmful gases into living spaces. By carefully testing airflow, our team ensures that your system is distributing air evenly throughout the home. The result is not only improved comfort but also greater safety and efficiency.
Infrared Inspections and Heat Load Calculations
Our advanced infrared inspections act like X-ray vision for your home. By using thermal imaging technology, we can detect hidden issues inside walls, ceilings, or mechanical systems that may not be visible to the eye. This helps identify insulation gaps, moisture problems, and other concerns early before they cause damage. In addition, we perform heat load calculations that determine the exact size and capacity your HVAC system needs. An oversized or undersized unit can lead to higher energy costs, poor humidity control, and premature equipment failure. By conducting these calculations, we ensure that your equipment is perfectly matched to your home’s requirements.
Investing in Long-Term Efficiency
Home performance testing is one of the best ways to protect your HVAC investment. By uncovering and addressing hidden inefficiencies, you not only improve your comfort but also help your system last longer and operate at lower cost. For many of our customers in Waco, the improvements we recommend after testing have paid for themselves in reduced energy bills and fewer repairs. We view performance testing as a proactive step that sets you up for lasting comfort and peace of mind.
