About Fort Lauderdale
Airflow Diagnostic & Duct Balancing Assessment in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
In Fort Lauderdale, comfort complaints often come from homes that have changed a lot over the years. A Rio Vista home with a new primary suite, a Tarpon River bungalow with a converted porch or a Victoria Park cottage with a second-floor addition can all end up with rooms that never match the thermostat, because the duct system was never redesigned to serve them. Waterfront homes add another layer, with big glass facing the water and afternoon sun. Townhome owners in Flagler Village often notice warm upstairs bedrooms. Our Airflow Diagnostic and Duct Balancing Assessment measures what the system is delivering room by room. It's a paid service call, and the fee is confirmed when you set the appointment. The measurements tell us whether your Fort Lauderdale home needs balancing, return-air improvements, sealing or a duct redesign, so you can fix the real problem instead of replacing equipment that may be working fine.
About this service
Airflow Diagnostic & Duct Balancing Assessment in Fort Lauderdale
If some rooms in your home are always warmer or colder than others, the problem usually isn't the size of your air conditioner. It's how the air moves through your ducts. Long or undersized runs, crushed flex, leaky joints, missing returns and dampers set by guesswork all keep air from reaching the rooms that need it. Replacing the AC or adding a smart thermostat rarely fixes that, and closing vents in other rooms often makes it worse.
Swift's Residential Airflow Diagnostic and Duct Balancing Assessment measures what your system is actually doing. We read total external static pressure with a manometer and compare it with your air handler's rated limit. We measure airflow at every supply register with a flow hood or anemometer and compare each room with what its load requires. We run a duct leakage test that pressurizes the duct system to find out how much air escapes before it reaches your rooms. And we take room-by-room temperature readings and scan ceilings, walls and duct runs with a thermal camera.
Then we balance the system: adjusting dampers, correcting register sizes and styles, adding transfer grilles or jumper ducts so closed bedrooms have a return path, and sealing the leaks we can reach. Our target is the same one we design to on new installations, every bedroom within 3°F of the thermostat, consistent with ACCA's Manual RS comfort guidelines.
You get a clear explanation of every reading and of what we changed. If something bigger is needed, such as a new return, duct repairs or a full duct replacement designed with Manual J and Manual D, we'll show you the numbers that support it and give you a price before any further work. The assessment is a paid diagnostic visit, and we quote the fee when you book. Call (561) 685-8408 to schedule.

Local details
Airflow Diagnostic & Duct Balancing Assessment details for Fort Lauderdale.
Testing starts at the air handler, where we read total external static pressure with a manometer and compare it with the manufacturer's limit. In Fort Lauderdale homes that have added rooms without adding returns, this reading is often high. We measure airflow at each supply register with a flow hood or anemometer and compare every room, including additions and converted spaces, with its load. A duct leakage test pressurizes the ductwork to show how much air is lost in the attic or ceiling space before reaching a room. Room-by-room temperatures and a thermal camera scan reveal heat gain through glass and ceilings, insulation gaps and loose duct connections. Then we balance: setting dampers, correcting registers, adding transfer grilles or jumper ducts for closed bedrooms and sealing leaks we can reach. For condos and townhomes, we note anything that requires association approval. You get a clear explanation of the readings and a written summary for your Fort Lauderdale home.

Frequently asked questions
Upstairs bedrooms in townhomes sit under the roof and often at the end of the longest duct runs, and many have no return of their own. If those runs are undersized or leaking, the upstairs falls behind every afternoon. Measuring the airflow and temperature in each Fort Lauderdale bedroom shows what's needed to fix it.
Yes. Additions are usually tied into existing ducts without a redesign, so they get too little air. We measure static pressure, airflow to each room, duct leakage and temperatures, then balance what we can and tell you whether the addition in your Fort Lauderdale home needs its own supply or return.
It's the resistance the blower pushes against from the ducts, filter, coil and grilles. Each air handler has a maximum the manufacturer allows. Readings above it mean reduced airflow and extra wear. In older Fort Lauderdale homes with undersized returns, it's one of the most telling numbers we take.
Four: total external static pressure measured with a manometer, airflow at every supply register measured with a flow hood or anemometer, a duct leakage test that pressurizes the duct system, and room-by-room temperature readings with a thermal camera scan. We then balance the system where we can and review the results with you.
It's a paid diagnostic visit. The fee depends on the size of your home and the number of systems, and we quote it when you book so there are no surprises. Any balancing adjustments we can make during the visit are included, and any further repairs are priced before we do them.
