With over four decades of experience, our certified technicians use state-of-the-art equipment to identify and quantify air leaks in your ductwork, helping you save energy and improve indoor comfort throughout New Jersey.

Comprehensive Testing

We use advanced duct testing equipment to measure air leakage rates and identify specific leak locations throughout your ductwork system, providing detailed reports and recommendations.

Code Compliance

Our testing services ensure your ductwork meets all local building codes and energy efficiency standards, providing the documentation needed for permits and inspections.

Energy Savings

Identifying and sealing duct leaks can reduce energy costs by 20-30% while improving indoor air quality and comfort throughout your home or business.

Why Duct Leakage Testing Matters

Leaky ductwork is one of the most significant sources of energy waste in buildings. Even small leaks can result in substantial energy losses, higher utility bills, and reduced comfort. Our professional duct leakage testing helps identify these issues before they become costly problems.

Our duct leakage testing services include:

  • Total duct leakage testing (Qtotal)
  • Duct leakage to outside testing (Qn,out)
  • Pre and post-sealing verification
  • Detailed leak location identification
  • Comprehensive testing reports
  • Code compliance documentation
  • Energy efficiency assessments
  • Recommendations for improvements
  • Follow-up testing after repairs

We use calibrated testing equipment and follow industry standards to ensure accurate, reliable results. Our detailed reports help you understand your system's performance and make informed decisions about improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is duct leakage testing required?

Duct leakage testing is typically required for new construction, major renovations, HVAC system replacements, and energy efficiency programs. Many local building codes now mandate testing to ensure systems meet minimum efficiency standards. It's also recommended when experiencing high energy bills, uneven temperatures, or poor indoor air quality.

How long does duct leakage testing take?

A typical duct leakage test takes 2-4 hours depending on the size and complexity of your ductwork system. This includes setup, testing, leak detection, and report preparation. If duct sealing is needed, additional time may be required for repairs and re-testing to verify improvements.

What are acceptable duct leakage rates?

Acceptable leakage rates vary by local codes, but typically range from 4-8 CFM25 per 100 square feet of conditioned floor area for total leakage, and 4 CFM25 per 100 square feet for leakage to outside. New construction often requires tighter standards (4 CFM25/100 sq ft or less). Our technicians will explain the specific requirements for your project and help you achieve compliance.
