An HVAC performance test tells you the efficiency of your Hagerstown home. It identifies areas where you are wasting energy and how you can improve them. Knowing exactly how well your heating and air conditioning systems are operating could be a huge benefit to you. We’ll go over what happens during a performance test and how the information can help you.
What Happens During an HVAC Performance Test
During an HVAC performance test, your home will be thoroughly inspected to determine its overall efficiency. This inspection will include performing a load calculation on the heating and air conditioning system to see exactly how much energy it takes to properly heat and cool the home. The technicians also perform tests on your ducts to make sure that they aren’t leaking air. They’ll also test the seals around your windows and doors to ensure that they aren’t leaking as well.
Common Problems Discovered
Some of the most common issues that we find during HVAC performance tests are inadequate insulation and oversized heating and air conditioning equipment. Technology has allowed us to create better insulation products that can reduce the amount of energy lost in your home.
The Results
HVAC performance testing is conducted on each system in your house independently. This allows the technicians to isolate them to determine exactly which one is causing the inefficiencies. With the problem isolated, the repairs or improvements can be targeted towards that specific area.
The Benefits
The benefits of having an HVAC performance test completed in your home is that you will most likely experience a general increase in both comfort and energy efficiency in your home. Your house will probably heat and cool more evenly and your utility bills will decrease.
