Duct leakage testing, a crucial step in maintaining efficient HVAC systems, involves measuring the air tightness of ductwork. Each cubic foot of air that escapes from the duct system must be replaced by the HVAC fan, which increases energy consumption and decreases system efficiency. Airxpress Testing provides comprehensive duct leakage testing services to quantify the amount of air leakage at the test pressure, ensuring your ductwork is properly sealed and functioning optimally.
Why is Duct Leakage Testing Necessary?
Duct leakage, also known as pressure testing, is essential for identifying improperly sealed areas within the ductwork. These leaks can significantly impact HVAC system performance, leading to increased energy usage and higher greenhouse gas emissions. Compliance with AS 4254.2:2012 standards ensures high-quality duct construction and installation, ultimately improving energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions. By choosing Airxpress Testing, you are taking a proactive step towards enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of your HVAC systems in Australia.
