Testing & Adjusting Air Flow Through Ductwork

Learn how we ensure optimal airflow

As a business owner, you rely on your HVAC system to keep your employees and customers comfortable year-round. However, a poorly functioning system can lead to higher energy bills, decreased indoor air quality, and even decreased employee productivity. One key factor that affects HVAC performance is airflow through ductwork. In this blog post, we will explore strategies for testing ductwork to ensure optimal airflow through the system, including leak detection and balancing dampers.

At Carolina Commercial Systems, we specialize in commercial HVAC and duct fabrication in North Carolina. Our team of experts is dedicated to providing businesses with reliable and efficient heating and cooling systems all year-round. Let’s dive into how we can help you achieve optimal airflow through your ductwork.

1. Conduct A Duct Leakage Test

Duct leakage is a major cause of reduced airflow in HVAC systems. When air escapes from the ductwork, it reduces the amount of air that reaches your desired destination. To ensure optimal airflow, it’s important to conduct a duct leakage test. This test involves sealing off all vents and registers in the system and pressurizing the ductwork to measure the amount of air that escapes. Contact our team at Carolina Commercial Systems today to discuss your duct leakage test options.

2. Install Balancing Dampers

Balancing dampers are an effective tool for adjusting airflow through your ductwork. These dampers are installed at strategic points in the system to control the amount of air that flows through each duct. By adjusting the dampers, we can ensure that airflow is evenly distributed throughout the system. This not only improves HVAC performance but also reduces energy bills and increases indoor air quality.

3. Replace Or Repair Damaged Ductwork

Damaged ductwork can significantly reduce airflow and HVAC performance. If your ductwork is damaged, it’s important to have it repaired or replaced as soon as possible. Our team at Carolina Commercial Systems can inspect your ductwork and recommend the best course of action to ensure optimal airflow.
