Ensures Compliance With Building Codes and Regulations
In many Florida counties, as in other states, duct leakage testing is a requirement for new construction projects. By conducting this assessment, builders demonstrate their commitment to upholding industry standards and promoting safety and efficiency.
Allows the Fine-Tuning of HVAC Performance
Ducts that have leaks or gaps lead to uneven or insufficient heating and cooling. Through the leakage test, any identified problem areas and potential issues can be addressed to achieve consistent and adequate levels of indoor comfort.
Minimizes Energy Waste and Environmental Impact
When there are leaks in the ductwork, air from the HVAC system escapes before it even reaches the intended living spaces. This results in increased energy consumption since the system works harder and runs longer to heat or cool the home as desired.
Conducting this test in the early stages of construction allows builders to seal duct leaks and correct any other identified issues. Thus, incorporating this test in building practices is a major step toward sustainability and energy efficiency because of its long-term value and effects.
Improves Indoor Air Quality
Duct leaks let air escape and allow dust, pollutants, and allergens to enter and infiltrate indoors. Thus, when sources of contamination and leaks are addressed, a healthy indoor environment can be achieved and maintained.
Extends the Lifespan of HVAC Systems
Leaky ducts put a strain on heating and cooling systems because they need to compensate for the air that escapes. This increased workload results in the premature wear and tear of the HVAC components.
