Step 1:

Please send us any/all pints and ventilation schedules that would equal the stamped copies on the jobsite. We would like to review all of this information first as well as understand what specifications the municipality is seeking in reality.

Step 2:

Determining exactly what you need tested. Did you add one hood and exhaust fan to an existing space or have you started from scratch and need all equipment tested? Also, determining how fast you need the system evaluated and tested.

Step 3:

If you are ready to proceed please fill out the following survey for us so that we can evaluate a cost for you before the project begins. This survey along with the drawings will give us a starting point to the project.

Have Comfort or Pressure Issues You wish to Eliminate?

Step 1:

Please send us any/all drawing or mechanical plans you have of the space. The more information about the HVAC the better.

Step 2:

Let's set up a time to meet on the space and discuss what is needed and we can visually get any information not covered by drawings or lack of drawings. Depending on the size and the scope of work we would need an hour or two of your time. We would also need access to the equipment itself either on the roof or in mechanical rooms. Let us know if we need any proof of insurance prior to our arrival and if we need any special ladders.

Step 3:

Call Brenda and get on the schedule for one of us to evaluate your needs. We may want to contact you directly if possible for this meeting so please give Brenda as much contact information as you can.

How Does the Process Work?

Step 1:

Best place to start is by determining if you can answer yes to any of the following statements:

• Rooms to hard to heat or cool
• Large temperature swings between the floors
• Unable to properly control humidity
• Unable to properly filter the indoor air
• Need a fresh air solution
• Need a fresh approach to your stale HVAC system

Step 2:

Help identify for not only us but for yourself what you are hoping to accomplish with this process. There is no doubt going to be costs associated with the proposed solutions for better performance. Some solutions will be simple and straightforward. Others will be far more complex and intricate. For us to better help you the more information you can provide for us the better. So much so that by filling out the questionnaire we are going to take $ 100.00 off the proposed solutions as a thank you.

Step 3:

Understand what is really involved in the whole Test & Balance process. This is basically a fact gathering mission and then proposing some solutions based on these factors. We are going to be looking at what is causing the main issues you bring up in the questionnaire and what you want us to focus on. Form there we can develop a solution or solutions based on our discoveries and computerized home modeling. By following this process, we are adhering to the cutting edge standards set forth by the top 1% of comfort professionals. This knowledge and backing of 30 plus years in the industry is what gets our clients to their most comfortable place. We would need about 1 to 2 hours of your time on our home visit to analyze what is existing and gather our information for computing some solutions. We will also be taking some readings of airflow and temperatures in various locations. This will provide us a snapshot and up front vision of what is currently happening.

The only way to know is to test, and anything else is just a wild guess...

Your home or business heating and cooling system may not be delivering the comfort and efficiency you’re paying the utility company for. PerformanceMaxx™ reports provide a preliminary snapshot of your comfort system’s delivered performance.

What is a comfort system analysis?

Most service agreements only include checking the heating and cooling equipment. We have the technology and skills to include the duct system in your service agreement. New testing procedures measure your system’s operating performance. We’ll test the duct system as part of our service and will diagnose and repair system deficiencies.

What will these tests tell us?

PerformanceMaxx™ reports offer a rating of your HVAC’s level of performance. These reports have been created as an air conditioning and heating educational tool for customers of NCI contractors.

We’ll conduct tests to determine the airflow through your system, and verify the resistance through your air filters, coil, ductwork, and registers. This information will help us calculate the delivered BTUs from your system and gauge where your system needs improvement.

My system is brand new. Why do I need an analysis?

Unfortunately, systems are sometimes installed incorrectly or are the wrong model for the size of the home or business. Unlike a self-contained stove or refrigerator, your HVAC depends on a series of ducts and registers winding through your space. PerformanceMaxx™ rates the live operating efficiency of the entire installed system.

We’ll test to make sure your system was installed and is running correctly for optimal performance and energy savings.

COSTS:

QUESTION: What is my obligation if I agree to have the PerformanceMaxx™ test done?

ANSWER: There is no obligation. These tests are done as part of our service program and so that we can better understand your total comfort system.

QUESTION: Does the test disrupt my equipment?

ANSWER: No. We perform the test while your system is running under normal operating conditions. We will drill a few harmless test holes in your duct system to take readings, but we’ll plug them when we are finished.

QUESTION: Can any contractor perform a PerformanceMaxx™ procedure?

ANSWER: No. Only NCI certified contractors are authorized to use the PerformanceMaxx™ test procedures.

QUESTION: What is the cost of the testing?

ANSWER: There’s no additional cost for the PerformanceMaxx™ testing during maintenance in homes. It’s part of our normal service. After the initial testing, we’ll present you with a report on the system’s efficiency. If there are deficiencies, we can perform more in-depth testing and analysis for a complete picture of what needs to be done to maximize your system’s performance.
