Duct Leakage Testing San Jose

A duct leakage tester is a diagnostic tool that is exclusively designed to measure the airtightness of HVAC ductwork. The tester consists of a calibrated fan for evaluating an airflow rate along with a pressure sensing device to determine the pressure created by the fan. This combination of fan flow and pressure measurements helps in measuring the ductwork airtightness. Used by a residential single-family and commercial building, Duct Leakage Testing San Hose enforces air delivery systems for cooling and heating.

Air Flow & Fan Efficiency Test San Jose

Many existing homes in San Jose have improperly sized equipment and ducts. Airflow and Fan efficacy are two primary components of Air Flow & Fan Efficiency Test San Jose. This test is individually done to ascertain if there is sufficient airflow in the HVAC system to cool and heat the building efficiently.

Fan Efficiency Test San Jose

This test helps in determining how much power is being consumed to move 1 CFM of air. A needed amount of Air Flow is required to cool the house properly and to avoid freezing of evaporator coil.

Fan Efficacy Test San Jose

Fan Efficacy is the CFM output of the system divided by the wattage, is called out in various codes and standards. California Energy Commissions require that the blowers must perform at or below .58 fan efficacy. This implies that a blower moving 1000 CFM shouldn't use more than 80 watts of power.

HERS Refrigerant testing

There are a set of protocols that take into consideration several variables. These variables include temperature both inside and outside the structure, airflow, refrigerant saturation temperatures at both the coils, humidity, and configuration of the system. HERS Refrigerant testing ensures that your system is operating at its peak efficiency. This test will also make sure that you are not paying higher bills. Our San Jose HERS Raters will hook up gauges to the condenser and take cooling and superheat measurements subsequently.

Blower Door Testing San Jose

Combined with specialized accessories, Blower Door Testing San Jose measures the building airtightness. This test is helpful to envision if your building releases more than allowed hot or cold air to outside of the building structure.
