Your Envelop is your BIGGEST air duct.

A well-sealed building envelope is essential for ensuring a comfortable indoor atmosphere while maximizing energy efficiency. Leaks in the envelope can contribute to considerable energy loss, making it difficult for homeowners to maintain or control a consistent temperature. This not only causes variations in indoor temperatures but also compromises air quality, as external drafts can bring in unwanted pollutants and allergens from the attic, garage, or outside air. With a tighter building, homeowners can enhance their comfort, lower energy, and improve the overall air quality in their homes.

Air Balance

Balanced Comfort

A balanced air duct system is essential for maintaining optimal indoor air quality and balanced comfort in the different areas of the building. When rooms are pressurized or depressurized, it can lead to discomfort and uneven temperature from one room to another. Excessive pressurization can cause harmful gases from appliances to backdraft into living space. Additionally, an imbalanced system can also force air leakage through a compromised building envelope, not only increases energy costs but also allows pollutants and moisture to enter potentially leading to mold growth and polluting the indoor air quality. Ensuring a properly balanced air duct system is essential for the safety and efficiency for your environment.

Wasted Energy/ Poor Indoor Air

Duct air leakage poses a considerable challenge to the efficiency and effectiveness of HVAC systems. While certain indicators, like uneven temperature distribution, or organic growth development in a visible location, other signs can remain obscured within the attic, contributing to higher energy costs and diminished indoor air quality. Ensuring that air ducts are properly sealed is key for achieving optimal airflow, reducing energy consumption, and fostering a comfortable living environment. Regular inspections and sealing services represent a worthwhile investment, enhancing system efficiency, prolonging the lifespan of HVAC equipment, and ultimately promoting a healthier indoor atmosphere.

Infrared Inspection 

XRAY VISION

Infrared inspection is a sophisticated, non-intrusive testing method that utilizes thermal imaging technology to identify issues in various systems. By detecting temperature variations, this technique allows for early detection of potential problems in electrical, mechanical, and building structures. Infrared inspections enhance safety, improve efficiency, and extend the lifespan of assets by enabling timely maintenance and repairs. Embracing this innovative approach can lead to significant cost savings and optimized performance across numerous industries. It's almost like having Xray vision.

Heat Load Calculations

A heat load calculation is important for both new and existing HVAC equipment as it ensures that the system is tailored to meet the specific heating and cooling needs of a space. Accurately assessing these needs prevents the common of over-sizing or under-sizing equipment. Over-sizing can lead to increased energy costs, frequent cycling, and reduced humidity control, while under-sizing may result in inadequate comfort and system strain. Therefore, performing heat load calculation helps optimize efficiency, enhance comfort, and prolong the lifespan of HVAC systems.
