That is why you may want to schedule professional duct testing in Boca Raton, FL with a member of our team. Read the post below, and contact All-Pro Electrical & Air Conditioning if you have any concerns regarding the condition of your air ducts.

What is Professional Duct Testing?

Duct testing is a service during which professional HVAC and IAQ technicians evaluate the condition and overall performance of the air ducts in one's HVAC system. They do this by altering the pressure within the ductwork. The registers throughout the house are sealed off, making the ducts a sealed environment. The ducts are then pressurized with special equipment, and the pressure level therein is tracked and evaluated. Judging by the rate at which the interior pressure drops, your technicians can determine if there are leaks in the system, and can then determine precisely where they are.

When to Schedule Duct Testing

If you are having trouble heating and cooling your home effectively and/or efficiently, you should consider having your ductwork professionally tested. Air leaks are among the most common causes of such problems. Of course, compromised air ducts won't only let conditioned air out of the system: they can also let pollutants in. Therefore, a steady decline in your indoor air quality may also suggest that duct testing is justified. Whatever concerns you may have regarding your ductwork, count on us to test them thoroughly.
