What It Is & When It's Required
What it is
- Measuring and verifying HVAC airflow
- Confirms systems meet design intent
- Required for compliant handover
Why it matters
- Verifies performance before handover
- Identifies airflow issues early
- Supports compliance and defect resolution
When it's required
- Mechanical commissioning & handover
- After system upgrades
- To resolve airflow issues
Incorrect airflow commonly leads to compliance issues, defect rectification, and delayed handovers.
What's Included in Our Service
Pre-Balancing & Setup
- Pre-balancing checks (access, dampers, diffuser condition)
- Review of design airflow and system intent
- Identification of access or installation constraints
Testing & Adjustment
- Airflow measurements at diffusers and grilles
- AHU, FCU, and system-level airflow verification
- Damper and volume adjustments where required
Verification & Handover Support
- Re-testing to confirm final results
- Final balancing confirmation
- Clear issue notes for contractors and consultants
All work is performed using calibrated instruments and established testing and balancing procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between air balancing and commissioning?+
Air balancing is a key part of HVAC commissioning. It focuses specifically on measuring and adjusting airflow, while commissioning covers broader system verification and performance checks.
What is a TAB report?+
A TAB (Testing and Balancing) report documents airflow measurements, adjustments, and final verification against design values for HVAC systems.
How long does air balancing take?+
Timeframes depend on system size and complexity. Most commercial air balancing works are completed within one site visit.
Do you guarantee a 24-hour TAB report?+
Yes. All air balancing projects include a guaranteed TAB report within 24 hours of site testing.
Do you balance to design airflow or comfort?+
We balance primarily to design airflow, while identifying issues that may affect comfort or performance.
What information is required before site attendance?+
Mechanical drawings, diffuser schedules, and design airflow values allow for efficient testing and accurate reporting.
Can you troubleshoot airflow issues?+
Yes. We regularly identify installation defects, access limitations, and system issues during testing and balancing.
