About Hobe Sound
Airflow Diagnostic & Duct Balancing Assessment in Hobe Sound, FL.
Hobe Sound homes are often designed to take in the views, with big windows facing the river, the preserves or a pool, and those rooms can heat up faster than the original duct system can handle. In older homes along US-1 and around Banner Lake, it's usually the bedrooms at the end of the hall that lag, especially with doors closed and only a hallway return. Larger gated-community and waterfront homes have long runs to guest suites and far bedrooms that never quite catch up. Add Hobe Sound's steady humidity, and rooms with weak airflow feel both warm and damp. Our Airflow Diagnostic and Duct Balancing Assessment measures where the air is actually going and how much is getting lost along the way. The assessment is billed separately, and we quote the price when you schedule. The readings tell us whether your Hobe Sound home needs balancing, return paths, sealing or duct changes, so you fix the right thing first.
About this service
Airflow Diagnostic & Duct Balancing Assessment in Hobe Sound
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 Hobe Sound.
First, a manometer reading at the air handler gives us total external static pressure, which we compare with the manufacturer's limit to see whether restrictive ducts, a small return or a dirty filter are limiting airflow. Next, we measure airflow at each supply register with a flow hood or anemometer and compare every room with its load. A duct leakage test pressurizes the system to show how much air is escaping into the attic and, on the return side, how much humid air is being drawn in. Room-by-room temperature readings and a thermal camera scan reveal hot glass, insulation gaps, disconnected runs and the occasional duct damaged by critters. Then we balance where the numbers point, adjusting dampers, swapping registers, adding transfer grilles or jumper ducts for closed bedrooms and sealing leaks within reach. We walk you through the readings and leave a written summary of what we changed and anything else your Hobe Sound home needs.

Frequently asked questions
Rooms that get too little air also get too little dehumidified air, so they feel warm and damp at the same time. Leaky return ducts can also pull humid attic air into the system. Our assessment measures airflow and duct leakage in your Hobe Sound home to find out how much the ducts are contributing.
Yes. The thermal camera scan and duct leakage test show us where ducts are disconnected, torn or chewed, and we confirm it visually in the attic. In Hobe Sound homes near wooded preserves, animal damage is something we look for specifically, along with corrosion near the coast.
Yes, especially if some rooms are uncomfortable. A new AC on the same ducts will deliver air the same uneven way. The assessment shows whether your Hobe Sound home's comfort problems come from the equipment or the ductwork, so you spend money on the fix that actually works.
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.
