HVAC balancing is the practice of combining air and water balancing to ensure that a HVAC system functions optimally.  What Exactly is Air Balancing? Balancing HVAC air flow includes measuring, adjusting and distributing the flow of air in HVAC systems within residential and commercial buildings so that air flow is adequate throughout all spaces. Air balancing contractors, like Rapid Duct Testing, conduct air balancing services to achieve balanced air heating and cooling. This involves testing heating and air conditioning systems,
