Ever wonder how much conditioned air your ductwork is actually losing? 👀
Derek spent part of the day performing a duct leakage test and yes, this is what testing HVAC systems beyond the equipment looks like!
We temporarily seal off the supply and return vents throughout the home, then use specialized equipment to pressurize the duct system to 25 Pascals. This allows us to measure exactly how much air is escaping through gaps, poorly sealed connections, damaged ductwork, and other leakage points.
Why does it matter? Because your HVAC equipment can be working perfectly, but if the duct system is leaking, the air you paid to heat and cool may never make it where it’s supposed to go.
At DNA Heating & Cooling, we don’t guess. We test, measure, diagnose, and verify. 🔬🏠
Your HVAC system is more than the box outside and your ductwork deserves just as much attention.
