New Construction ECC Testing (previously hers)

 Duct leakage testing is an ECC measure that is required in all climate zones with any new furnace, air conditioner and/or ductwork installation.

 The purpose of total duct leakage testing is to effectively measure how much air is leaking from your duct system into areas you don’t want it heating or cooling and to verify that the ductwork has been properly sealed to California standards.

 Refrigerant charge testing is an ECC measure that is required in most climate zones when a new air conditioner is installed. 

The purpose of refrigerant charge verification is to determine whether or not the cooling system has the correct amount of refrigerant “charge” needed to properly cool your home based on the factory specifications for that particular air conditioner and climate zone.   This will ensure that your air conditioner is cooling properly on those hot summer days.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Mechanical Ventilation testing is intended to improve the indoor air quality in your home by testing for low infiltration and natural ventilation rates. 

We will perform this test at your bathroom vents to make sure that you are achieving proper ventilation.

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) is the rated efficiency of an air conditioner.  A SEER Verification is performed by using a directory of heating and air conditioning equipment to verify that your air conditioner meets the required efficiency rating.
