Measured Answers. Verified Solutions. Real Home Comfort Improvements.

At Breeze Air Conditioning, we provide professional duct leakage testing and home performance diagnostics designed to identify the true causes of comfort and efficiency issues in Austin homes.

We believe every homeowner deserves to live in a comfortable, efficient home — and that solutions should be based on measured data, not assumptions.

Why Duct Leakage Testing is Critical in Austin Homes

Many homes in the Austin area — particularly older properties or builder-grade construction — experience significant air distribution problems.

Common symptoms include:

• High electricity bills during cooling season

• One or more rooms that never stay comfortable

• Poor airflow from supply vents

• Excess dust or allergy symptoms

• HVAC systems running constantly

• Comfort issues even after new AC installation

In many cases, the underlying issue is duct leakage, poor airflow balance, or attic-related energy loss.

Our Comprehensive Duct Testing Process

We use professional diagnostic equipment to measure how your home and HVAC system actually perform.

✔ Blower Door Testing

Measures overall home air leakage and identifies pressure imbalances affecting duct performance.

✔ Duct Blaster Testing

Quantifies duct leakage in CFM and percentage loss, providing objective performance data.

✔ Pressure Pan Testing

Identifies leakage locations at individual vents and distribution points.

✔ Static Pressure Testing

Evaluates system airflow resistance and identifies duct design issues.

✔ Flow Hood Airflow Measurement

Measures actual airflow delivery to each room to diagnose comfort problems.

✔ Infrared Imaging

Detects hidden thermal loss and insulation-related performance issues.

✔ Smoke Testing

Helps visually confirm air leakage pathways within duct systems.

✔ Visual & Manual Inspection

Ensures system design, installation quality, and physical condition are properly evaluated.
