Frequently Asked Questions
Testing and balancing (TAB) is the process of ensuring that an HVAC system is delivering the correct amount of air to each zone in a building. This helps to improve comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency.
A properly balanced HVAC system can save you money on energy costs, improve the comfort of your home or office, and extend the life of your HVAC equipment.
A TAB technician will use a variety of tools and techniques to measure the airflow in each zone of a building. Once the airflow is measured, the technician will adjust the dampers in the ductwork to ensure that the correct amount of air is being delivered to each zone.
Testing and balancing should be performed after the installation of a new HVAC system, as well as after any major changes to the ductwork or HVAC equipment.
The cost of testing and balancing will vary depending on the size of the building and the complexity of the HVAC system. However, the cost is typically a fraction of the savings that can be achieved by improving the efficiency of your HVAC system.
The benefits of testing and balancing include:
Improved comfort: A properly balanced HVAC system will deliver the correct
amount of air to each zone in a building, which can help to improve comfort and
reduce drafts.
- Improved air quality: A properly balanced HVAC system can help to improve air
quality by reducing the amount of dust, allergens, and other pollutants in the air. - Reduced energy costs: A properly balanced HVAC system can help to reduce
energy costs by ensuring that the HVAC system is operating at its most efficient
level. - Â Extended equipment life: A properly balanced HVAC system can help to extend
the life of your HVAC equipment by reducing wear and tear. - If you are looking for ways to improve the comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency of
your home or office, then testing and balancing is a great option.
