Using Static Pressure Testing for Predictive Commercial Maintenance

Most commercial maintenance is “visual only,” which misses hidden problems. At A/C Dr. Naz, we use Total External Static Pressure (TESP) testing as part of our AC/C TECH certified maintenance protocol.

The Science of Airflow Maintenance

By measuring the pressure before and after the blower, we can determine if the evaporator coil is internally impacted with debris or if the ductwork is undersized for the RTU. This “Predictive Maintenance” allows us to identify a failing motor before it dies on a 90°F day. We also perform a combustion analysis on gas-fired sections to ensure the heat exchanger isn’t cracked, protecting your facility from Carbon Monoxide.

Why is my commercial HVAC motor failing every two years?

Premature motor failure is almost always caused by high static pressure. If your ductwork is too small or your filters are too restrictive, the motor has to work twice as hard to move air, leading to heat buildup and winding failure.
