Air Balancing

Air balancing service is the process of adjusting and fine-tuning a building’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to ensure even distribution of air throughout the building. The goal of air balancing is to provide a comfortable and safe indoor environment, optimize energy efficiency, and extend the life of HVAC equipment. It is usually performed by a certified air balancing technician using specialized tools and equipment.
