What Is an HVAC Test Port?
by AquaTemp
In the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry, we need to be precise about many different aspects of your comfort. That means we need to check and test your heating and cooling system to be sure things are working as we intend and you expect.
The Purpose of a Test Port
Here at AquaTemp in the Saskatoon area, one way we accomplish this is with an HVAC test port. We measure several types of things through a test port, such as:
• Temperature
• Humidity
• Pressure
• Air speed
By taking the test readings at different points in the system, including ductwork and air-handling equipment, our professionals can make a health chart for your equipment. We can check how it is truly operating.
Based on the results, we can make adjustments to ensure your system is running at peak health, address any items making your system sick, and compare the health of your system from your annual maintenance visit to the health at previous years.
What Is a Test Port Cover?
A test port cover prevents system leakage, and different HVAC companies utilize different types of covers for test ports. At AquaTemp, we use a specially designed magnet cover. We find it provides a clean and reusable cap unlike tape or silicone.
Our professionals encourage you to remove the cover once and take a look at the port for yourself. Once you have seen the port, or access hole, you can see where we insert a testing probe to be sure your system is healthy and performing as promised. You may even notice other test ports in your system.
