Frequently asked
questions

  • Precise, reliable balancing using certified technicians, calibrated instruments and proven methods for peak system efficiency.
  • End-to-end performance support, including troubleshooting, recommendations and seamless system integration verification.

  • Enhanced life-safety protecting, ensuring accurate measurement of face velocity, exhaust flow, containment performance and hood stability and reducing the risk of chemical exposure.
  • Reduced owner and contractor risk with testing to ensure fume hoods meet all safety requirements and perform reliably from day one.
  • TAB services fully comply with Illinois Department of Public Health standards for hospitals, clinics, labs, schools and public health facilities.
  • IDPH certification helps protect building owners, engineers and contractors from costly rework, failed inspections and compliance issues.

  • Inspections verify damper operation, identify hidden issues and ensure your facility’s fire-safety systems perform as intended.
  • Inspections allow our team to identify issues early before they become life-safety risks, such as rusted blades, broken fusible links, mechanical obstructions and improper installations.

  • Diagnose airflow issues caused by pneumatic actuator problems.
  • Identify control line leaks, calibration issues, or diaphragm failures.
  • Properly verify damper and valve operation.
  • Work in older buildings, retrofits, and hybrid systems.

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.
