About West Palm Beach
Airflow Diagnostic & Duct Balancing Assessment in West Palm Beach, FL.
If one bedroom in your West Palm Beach home is always warmer than the rest, the problem is usually airflow, not the air conditioner. We see it constantly from our base on Belvedere Road. Upstairs bedrooms in newer two-story homes run hot because the ducts that reach them are the longest and the most likely to leak. Older homes in Northwood, Flamingo Park and El Cid often have one central return, so every closed bedroom door cuts off air to that room. Kitchens and Florida rooms with big windows overheat in the afternoon. Many owners have already tried a bigger AC, a new thermostat or closing vents in other rooms, and none of it worked. Our Airflow Diagnostic and Duct Balancing Assessment measures what is really happening inside the duct system so we can fix the cause. It is a paid diagnostic visit, and we quote the fee when you book. You get real numbers, a clear explanation and a plan instead of guesses.
About this service
Airflow Diagnostic & Duct Balancing Assessment in West Palm Beach
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 West Palm Beach.
The visit follows a set routine. We measure total external static pressure with a manometer and compare it to the air handler manufacturer's limit, which shows whether the ducts, filter or coil are choking the system. We measure airflow at every supply register with a flow hood or anemometer and compare each room with what its size and load call for. A duct leakage test pressurizes the ductwork to show how much air escapes into the attic, a common problem in West Palm Beach homes whose ducts were added years after they were built. Room-by-room temperature readings and a thermal camera scan reveal hot spots, missing insulation and disconnected runs. Then we balance what can be balanced: adjusting dampers, correcting register sizes, adding a transfer grille or jumper duct where a bedroom has no return path, and sealing leaks we can reach. If the ducts in your West Palm Beach home are too far gone, we explain why and quote a replacement.

Frequently asked questions
Usually because that room gets less air than it needs. The supply duct may be long, crushed, leaking or undersized, or the room has no return path, so a closed door pressurizes it and the cool air stops flowing in. West-facing windows make it worse. Our assessment measures the airflow into that room and the temperature difference, which tells us exactly which fix will work.
Four sets of measurements: total external static pressure, airflow at each supply register, a duct leakage test, and room-by-room temperatures with a thermal camera scan. We then balance the system where we can, by adjusting dampers, correcting registers and improving return paths, and walk you through the numbers in plain language. The fee for a West Palm Beach visit is quoted when you book.
Usually not. Closing registers raises the pressure in the duct system, which can cut total airflow, make the blower work harder and push more air out of any leaks in the attic. On older West Palm Beach systems that are already restricted, it can even cause the indoor coil to freeze. Measuring the system first and balancing it properly is the safer fix.
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.
