Duct Leakage Testing
At Synergy Mechanical Inc., we provide precise duct leakage testing to verify the integrity and performance of HVAC duct systems in commercial, industrial, and multi-family buildings. Leaky ducts can waste energy, reduce airflow, and compromise system performance. Our certified technicians use calibrated equipment and industry-standard testing procedures to ensure your ductwork is airtight, efficient, and compliant with all applicable codes.
Why Duct Leakage Testing Matters
Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings
Air escaping through unsealed duct joints increases energy consumption and forces HVAC equipment to work harder. Our testing identifies leakage points so repairs can be made, reducing utility costs and improving long-term system efficiency.
Code Compliance & Verification
Many projects — especially new construction and commissioning — require duct leakage testing to meet building codes, engineer specifications, and LEED standards. Synergy Mechanical Inc. provides accurate testing results and clear documentation to satisfy local inspectors, commissioning agents, and design requirements.
Improved Comfort & System Performance
Leakage reduces airflow to occupied spaces, causing temperature inconsistencies, equipment strain, and poor indoor comfort. Our testing ensures your ducts deliver the correct volumes of air as intended by the design, improving overall building performance.
