What Is Static Pressure?
Static pressure is the resistance to airflow inside ductwork, influenced by duct size, length, and restrictions like closed vents or dirty filters. It's a factor in both overall system efficiency and how modern testing standards, like SEER2, are measured.
Why It Matters to You
High static pressure from undersized or restricted ductwork can prevent even a high-efficiency system from delivering the performance its rating promises.
Practical Guidance
If a new high-efficiency system doesn't seem to be performing as expected, ask a technician to evaluate ductwork and static pressure rather than assuming the equipment itself is at fault.
