Southlake 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.
