HVAC Duct Seal Testing in the Carolinas

I know I promised to finish my discussion of commercial roofing systems today, but recently I have had several calls from some panicked homebuilders in the area asking for my help with a new building regulation in both North and South Carolina.

The 2012 building codes in several states including North and South Carolina have added HVAC Duct Seal testing to their building codes. Duct Seal Testing is a service for both builders and private home and business owners to ensure that the HVAC systems in their homes and businesses are performing at peak operating efficiency.

Why is Duct Seal Testing Important to You?

The government estimates that as much as two thirds of all the HVAC Duct systems in the United States leak. Leaky duct work can cause early equipment failure, health issues inside the building and wasted money. Leaks on the intake side of your HVAC system can cause your system to waste precious conditioned air by heating and cooling your attic, crawl space or garage. The extra work load on the system can seriously shorten the life of your HVACequipment.

Leaks on the supply side of your duct system can pull dust, particles of insulation or even toxic mold into the living or working space of your building, endangering the health and quality of life for you, or your employees.

For more information on the new regulations, please check NC energy codes.
