Plano FAQ

Can static pressure be measured, or is it just a guess?+

It can be measured directly with a manometer at specific points in the system, comparing the actual reading against what the equipment's manufacturer specifies as its design range. It's a real, objective diagnostic, not a guess based on symptoms alone.

Does fixing static pressure always mean replacing ductwork?+

Not always. Sometimes it's a filter, a closed vent, or a section of duct that's easily corrected. Ductwork replacement or resizing becomes the answer specifically when the ducts themselves are undersized or damaged beyond a simple repair, which a proper diagnostic identifies rather than assumes.

Is there anything specific to Plano homes I should know before calling?+

Nothing that changes the fundamentals, just let us know you're in Plano and what you're seeing, and we'll take it from there with the same honest diagnostic we bring to every call.
