Air Balance

« Back to Glossary Index

Air balancing is the process of testing, adjusting, and optimizing an HVAC system to ensure that the air distribution throughout a building or space matches the desired levels of comfort, efficiency, and performance. This involves measuring airflow from individual vents or diffusers, ensuring proper pressure in different zones, and making adjustments to dampers, ducts, or fan speeds as needed. The goal is to ensure every room gets the right amount of airflow, preventing issues like hot spots, cold spots, or wasted energy. While the provided definition is generally correct, it oversimplifies the process, which requires detailed diagnostics and potentially specialized tools, such as manometers and airflow hoods, to properly balance the system.

On time. Responsive. Seemed confident with expertise. Explained issues well. Serviced and repaired older ac system and did not try to sell me a new one. Kept everyone cool for Mothers Day.

Jill Byrd

Jonathan arrived promptly and accessed the problem. He went above & beyond to trouble shoot the issue and gave me options. He was able to install a condensate pump for me in the same visit. Would highly recommend based on my experience.

Best in the business. I have used this company several times. They are always responsive and get repairs handled quickly. Jonathan is our tech and he does a great job explaining everything.

I can not say enough great things about Jonathon and Paradise Heating and Air. From the moment they answered the phone I knew I made the right choice. This team is top notch! I called on Monday for attic insulation, Tuesday Jonathon came out and spent time showing me what I needed and Thursday the job is done! Clean, professional and treated me and my home like family. I will be using them for EVERYTHING they specialize in. You CAN NOT GO WRONG with this company! 1000% satisfied and never have been so happy to spend money on insulation 🥰.

Irv Fietz

Jonathon provides excellent service! Shows up on time, no mess, good at explaining the problem and does high quality work.

Kathleen Smith

How nice is it when someone not only wants your business but goes above and beyond to earn it? That’s Paradise! My issue wasn’t an emergency but the company had a sense of urgency just the same to schedule me quickly, bump my appointment up if I wanted, stay in communication until arrival and tackle the job immediately. They even helped me with another task completely unrelated to the service call just because they saw a need to help. They get all my business now. Please give them yours. You’ll not regret it.

Karl Kemp

Fantastic service! Communicated when they would arrive and were right on time. Very courteous and explained everything that they were going to do, and then explained clearly the additional items thar needed to be addressed.

Ralph Ozley

Jon showed up as planned and committed to. A big plus was that he had the components on his truck to fix the broken part. Had my heat running after a 1 hour service call. Yes, I would recommend Paradise Heating and Air ...5 Star rec.

Steven Saunders

I had paradise come out to get me started with their paradise maintenance package, and had them take a look at my attic because we had concerns with our insulation not being adequate. They didn’t try to over sell work I didn’t need, and were honest with what exactly was needed to get us back on track. Techs Jonathan and Matthew came out for the initial inspection and service and came back to do the attic insulation. They were patient and knowledgeable (I ask a lot of questions) and took their time. They found all the places that my system was leaking (out and in) air, fixed them, and then filled the attic. They kept the house clean and were respectful and had great attitudes the entire time. They have definitely earned my business, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for HVAC work. They are AWESOME!

Kathy Robinson

Awesome service. I just signed a maintenance agreement with another company and had my HVAC systems serviced. Two weeks later one of my units wasn’t cooling. I called the company that I had a maintenance agreement with and they couldn’t service my units for two weeks. I called Paradise Heating and they fixed my unit that night. Will never use another company again.

Christopher Michael

Jonathon was amazing and gave so much attention to the cleaning and review of our unit for our spring tuneup appointment. He gave his honest opinion about the status of our HVAC and did not try to offer any unnecessary upgrades or repairs. I immediately signed up for their yearly tune-up package because it saves a little money but also because I really trust them!

Nathaniel Reed

Great company the owner came out on a Saturday and fixed an electrical issue with my hvac system. Amazing service super comfortable with him in my home. I will be using paradise in the future and being a plumber I will refer with bells on…

Suzette Scott

Would highly recommend this company. Jonathan is an honest guy and gave me a fair price to repair what someone else wanted to completely replace (for a lot more money). He also gave me a replacement price that was much less than my other quote.

Katherine Marshall

Extremely nice, on time, helpful and explanatory. Very professional. Thank you

Deanne Guthrie

James Dull

Johnathan came out today to look over my system. He went over and beyond to explain things to me. He is an honest and respectful individual. I am happy I was able to find Paradise Heating and Air. Also he installed a brand new thermostat for me. Johnathan saved me so much. Thank you for Paradise Heating and Air.

Cody Moore

A/C fan went out my house. I called Paradise Heating and Air they came right out and in about 20 minutes we were up and running again. Very professional, very affordable. I would ***HIGHLY*** recommend.

Steve

Always prompt and polite. Not to mention they know what they’re doing

Brittany Campbell

We so appreciate the quick and friendly service we received, where our air conditioning was fixed with a major issue before anyone else even would have been able to come out to evaluate! Reliable service, easy financing… Looking forward to doing business with this company in the future. Would definitely recommend.

D Avery

I was very pleased with the inspection from Paradise H&A for my church. We have an old, HVAC system that parts are no longer available to repair. Jonathan the owner came out personally to check it. He was experienced, friendly, professional, and was very thorough in checking out the furnace, compressors, air handlers and duct system. He gave me a 'ballpark figure' for replacement with several options. He explained the options to me and what would be required for installation. I appreciated the time he and his helper took to provide a 'free' thorough inspection. Thank you Jonathan and Paradise Heating and Air for putting your customers first!

andrew franklin

I called paradise the temperature was rising in our home on 105 degree day, called on a Saturday morning and was out that afternoon checking after working pretty late which is great and shows dedication. Fortunately there was nothing wrong with the air conditioning the culprit is being an old house with improper insulation and ventilation in the attic space. Jonathan was very helpful and professional. Always fast to respond and give advice on what to do to help when there is an issue that isn’t related to the HVAC having issues.

Desiree’ Revill

Very professional and efficient.

John Wills

The crew gave me a detailed explanation of their findings and recommendations and I knew exactly what work needed to be performed and what could be put off for a little while. Super excited to get this 20 year old house all sealed up for the remainder of the summer and the oncoming winter.

Jerry Smith

On time. Made excellent recommendations. Work performed quickly and reasonably.

David R.

Outstanding service, knowledge and dedication. I was very impressed all around.

Rachel White

The guys were on time, took their time reviewing the history of our units with me before starting, and took great care examining our systems. I highly recommend Paradise!

David Camp

A/C drains clogged and were draining into the basement. Put request in on line at 8 PM and response was great. Work crew responded 7 AM and work repair was done quickly. Great service.

Jonathan Pitts

Great prompt service fair price. Thanks..

Melanie Kettle

They scheduled me in a timely manner. The technician (Jonathan)was very professional, explained the system, and answered all my questions.

Kimberly Carns

We had a fantastic experience with Paradise! Our unit was out and we were going through the home warranty process with another company. The heat index was over 100 and we couldn’t wait any longer. Paradise came out on a Sunday morning. They provided a quote, ordered the part, and made all the repairs by Monday lunch. They went above and beyond to help our family and was much more reasonable than the other company we were working with for the same repairs. Can’t recommend Paradise enough!

Patrick Tucker

Paradise did a fantastic job! I requested an appointment online, and I had an appointment scheduled for the next day in just a few minutes. I did call to talk with the person that booked the appointment with some questions about pricing and how they charge for the work they would be doing, and she answered all of my questions. They arrived on time, and very quickly identified the issues with the system. They had it repaired and back up and running in no time. They then spent a lot of time answering all of my questions and looking at additional issues I have. I never felt rushed, and they answered all of my questions in detail. They charged me the price they said they would, and the system is back up and running. I will definitely use them again.

Jonathan is the BEST! We were having an issue with our HVAC not draining properly. Jonathan and Matt came out, assessed the problem and fixed it immediately. Not only were they very courteous, the service was quick and efficient! Jonathan’s experience speaks for itself! We highly recommend Paradise for all your HVAC needs.

Alvin Hardy

Staff operated in true professionalism and integrity. It's such a relief to know there are still honest people out there. There level of customer service is rarely seen today. Thank you!

John Messer

They continue to provide me with great, skilled service for a reasonable price. They're very good about communicating with you and don't mind answering your questions. Still highly recommend. This service was just an extension of last service call due to slow leak in Evap Core of warrantied Goodman A/C which was installed by another vendor 4-5 years ago.

Jean

They came after hours; were super efficient and courteous. Highly recommend

Tyler Zhou

Jonathan’s a cool dude. Great response team from the company

Thor Audiss

Amazing service!

Cheryl Kruse

I highly recommend Paradise Heating and Air. I contacted them to give me an estimate on adding more insulation to my attic. They were super responsive. They came out, gave me an estimate that I felt was very reasonable. In a very short time I was on their schedule. They showed up at the time they told me they would and they did a great job!! They even took care of the areas that were leaking heat. They are very personable, great to deal with. I am super pleased.

Mary Williams

Great experience!

Pam Bennett

I can not say enough amazing things about my experience with Paradise - most importantly, about JONATHAN PERKINSON! He is super knowledgeable about any and all HVAC systems, and he answered all my questions - he actually went above and beyond my expectations. I am excited about this company bc I have tried SEVERAL in the Birmingham area - and I’m telling you - this is the company to use and Jonathan is the one specifically that I will be calling again and again!
