Alpha IAQ Solutions provides duct leakage testing to ensure the efficiency and integrity of your HVAC system. This process identifies and quantifies air leaks in the ductwork, which can significantly impact energy consumption, indoor air quality, and overall comfort. Here's how the process works:

​

​

Duct Leakage Testing Process

 

1. System Preparation: The team seals off all vents and registers to isolate the duct system.

2. Pressurization or Depressurization: Using specialized equipment, the ducts are either pressurized or depressurized to measure airflow and pressure changes.

3. Leak Detection: Advanced tools, such as smoke pencils or pressure gauges, are used to pinpoint the exact locations of leaks.

4. Data Analysis: The airflow and pressure data are analyzed to calculate the total amount of air leakage as a percentage of the system's capacity.

5. Recommendations: Based on the findings, Alpha IAQ Solutions provides a detailed report and suggests solutions, such as sealing or repairing leaks, to improve system performance.

Benefits of Duct Leakage Testing

 

• Energy Efficiency: Identifying and sealing leaks reduces energy waste, lowering heating and cooling costs.

• Improved Comfort: Ensures consistent airflow, eliminating hot or cold spots in your home.

• Enhanced Indoor Air Quality: Prevents contaminants, allergens, and unconditioned air from entering the duct system.

• Prolonged HVAC Lifespan: Reduces strain on the HVAC system, minimizing wear and tear.

• Environmental Impact: Lower energy consumption contributes to a smaller carbon footprint.
