HVAC Testing & Commissioning

Air balancing is the process that involves modifying your existing HVAC system to make sure that air is evenly distributed throughout the home. All zones will have the correct amount of heat transfer. You want all components of your HVAC system working in harmony. 

AIR & WATER BALANCING

The aim of air and water balancing is to apply a disciplined procedure of adjustment to both air and water flow rates throughout their respective distribution systems in order to meet the particular requirements of the design. This ensures that all components within the HVAC system operate efficiently and as intended, providing optimal performance, comfort, and energy efficiency.

Benefits of Kitchen Hood Air Balancing

• The general ventilation through the kitchen has to introduce sufficient clean, cool air and remove excess hot air for the occupants to breathe adequately and remain comfortable.
• The general ventilation has to provide sufficient air for complete combustion at burning appliances, otherwise chronic debilitating carbon monoxide poisoning could occur.
• The general and local ventilation has to dilute and remove odors, vapors, and steam from the cooking processes.
• Humidity levels are being kept under control in the space because all of the air being brought into the building is being treated properly.
• The front door is easy to open for customers entering or leaving the restaurant.
• Kitchen ventilation system works well with no smoke or heat escaping into the kitchen/dining areas.
• The utility bill for the restaurant is at a manageable level because all of the HVAC isn't being sucked out of the dining room by the hood.
• Less turnover among employees working in the kitchen is due to a comfortable working environment.
• High customer retention rate based on providing a comfortable environment to dine in
