Duct leakage can significantly impact the efficiency and performance of HVAC systems, leading to increased energy consumption and higher costs. At Airxpress Testing, we specialize in duct leakage testing in Canberra, helping you identify and address leaks in your ductwork to improve system efficiency and ensure compliance with Australian standards.
Why Is Duct Leakage Testing Important?
Duct leakage testing involves measuring and locating air leaks in HVAC duct systems. These leaks can result from poor installation, age, or damage. The testing process ensures that your ductwork is properly sealed, preventing energy loss and enhancing indoor air quality.
Energy Efficiency
Leaks in your ductwork cause conditioned air to escape, forcing your HVAC system to work harder. Sealing these leaks reduces energy waste and lowers utility bills.
Enhanced Comfort
Properly sealed ducts ensure consistent airflow, eliminating hot or cold spots and maintaining even temperatures throughout your property.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Leaky ducts can draw in contaminants like dust, allergens, and fumes. Testing and sealing ducts help keep indoor air clean and healthy.
HVAC Longevity
By reducing strain on your system, duct leakage testing can extend the lifespan of your HVAC equipment.
Regulatory Compliance
Our services ensure your system meets Australian energy efficiency and building code requirements.

Our Duct Leakage Testing Process
Pre-Inspection
We inspect your HVAC system and ductwork to understand the layout and identify visible issues.
Pressure Testing
Using specialized equipment, we pressurize the duct system to measure leakage rates and detect problem areas.
Smoke Testing
Smoke or tracer gas is used to visually identify leaks in hard-to-reach sections of the ductwork.
Detailed Reporting
We provide a comprehensive report outlining the extent of leakage and recommending effective solutions.
