Leaky ducts can severely impact the performance of your HVAC system, leading to energy waste, uneven air distribution, and increased utility bills. At Airxpress Testing, we provide comprehensive duct leakage testing in Sunshine Coast, ensuring your system operates efficiently and meets Australian standards. By identifying and addressing duct leaks, we help you improve indoor comfort, reduce energy costs, and extend the lifespan of your HVAC equipment.
Benefits of Duct Leakage Testing
Duct leakage testing involves evaluating the air-tightness of your HVAC ductwork. Using specialized equipment, such as duct blasters and pressure gauges, our technicians measure how much air is escaping from the duct system. The results allow us to locate leaks and assess the overall efficiency of the system, ensuring it functions at its optimal capacity.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Leaky ducts force your HVAC system to work harder, consuming more energy. Sealing leaks reduces energy waste and lowers utility bills.
Enhanced Indoor Comfort
Duct leaks can cause uneven temperature distribution, resulting in hot or cold spots. Testing and sealing ducts ensure consistent airflow and comfort throughout your space.
Better Indoor Air Quality
Unsealed ducts can draw in dust, allergens, and contaminants from unconditioned spaces like attics or crawl spaces. Testing and repairing leaks improve air quality and create a healthier environment.
Prolonged HVAC System Life
An overworked HVAC system due to duct leaks experiences more wear and tear. Fixing leaks reduces strain on your equipment, extending its lifespan.
Regulatory Compliance
In Sunshine Coast, building codes and energy efficiency standards often require HVAC systems to meet specific air-tightness levels. Duct leakage testing helps ensure compliance.

Our Duct Leakage Testing Process
System Inspection
We begin by inspecting your HVAC ductwork for visible signs of wear, loose connections, or poorly sealed joints.
Pressure Testing
Using a duct blaster machine, we pressurize the duct system and measure air loss. This process identifies the locations and severity of leaks.
Report and Recommendations
We provide a detailed report of our findings, including the leakage rate and the specific areas that require repair. Our team also offers tailored recommendations for sealing and enhancing your duct system.
Repairs and Sealing
If needed, we can perform duct sealing and repair services using high-quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure long-lasting results.
