All our technicians have completed a minimum of four years of training and possess all the necessary skills and knowledge to complete complicated projects. The measuring instruments they use are the best available and are verified for calibration on a regular basis.
All personnel work safe and have completed the OSHA Ten-hour Safety Course. Most of our technicians have graduated from the Sheet Metal Workers Local 46 apprenticeship program which teaches all aspects of HVAC, including TAB. This program is the most comprehensive testing and balancing training available in Upstate New York.
Our personnel have attended other HVAC and safety classes too numerous to mention here including MCC's HVAC program.
In 2017 Air Systems was awarded the first-place national trophy in the SMACNA Safety Excellence Awards Program for the lowest injury / illness rate in the 1-25,000-man hours category.
Environmental systems are designed to provide a proper balance of air movement, temperature and humidity to create a comfortable and healthy indoor environment.
In order for these systems to perform as designed, testing and balancing is needed. Without proper TAB (testing, adjusting and balancing), an environmental system can rarely meet all the objectives set by the design engineer. Research has proven that proper TAB will improve HVAC performance in terms of comfort and health, reduce maintenance costs by uncovering potential problems and provide 5 to 15% savings in energy costs.
Air Systems is now NEBB Certified in Cleanroom Performance Testing.
We are the only firm located in Upstate New York with this internationally recognized and respected distinction.
CPT is the act of evaluating the performance of a cleanroom by performing a series of defined tests with prescribed procedures and reporting requirements.
Primary cleanroom tests include:
Airflow Velocity, Volume and Uniformity
HEPA Filter Installation Leak Test
Airborne Particle Count Cleanliness Classification
Room Pressurization
Whether you’re planning to or already have upgraded your filtration, we’ve verified the efficacy of both portable and permanently installed units. Particles comparable in size to the COVID-19 molecule are injected upstream of the filter. The concentration of the particles is then measured before and after the filter shows the percent effectiveness of the filter. We have provided this service to Fortune 500 companies in major metropolitan areas including New York City, Chicago, and Washington D.C.
OSHA requires annual testing of laboratory fume hoods. Air Systems Balancing tests the face velocity at multiple points to determine if the fume hood is working as intended. If it is not, we take the steps necessary to help resolve the problem. Air Systems Balancing can test and balance any kind of exhaust system, including: paint spray booths and dust collection systems.
Hospital isolation rooms, operating rooms and nuclear imaging rooms should be tested on a scheduled basis to verify the required air changes per hour and room pressurization. Air Systems Balancing performs this work for several hospitals to help protect public health.
Building Systems Commissioning is a disciplined procedure designed to provide a building owner with a completed building operating as designed and specified. Its intent is to furnish a building owner with a high degree of assurance that equipment and systems have been installed in the prescribed manner and will operate according to the performance guidelines. Air Systems Balancing is a NEBB & ICB/TABB Certified Commissioning Administrator and is prepared to offer a full range of Commissioning services.
Air Systems Balancing & Testing Service Inc. is a certified contractor to inspect and test fire and smoke dampers as they are used as part of a life safety system. These devices should be tested periodically to ensure proper function in the case of an emergency.
Air Systems Balancing has the equipment and experience to test for duct leakage. We can test to very low loss systems at high pressures, such as for a process.
