    Frequently asked questions — Georgetown process + scheduling + code

    How quickly can HECS start an HVAC TAB project in Georgetown?

    Most TAB engagements in the Georgetown metro area schedule within 2-4 weeks of contract signing. Pre-construction or rough-in coordination is often the gate; once we are scoped we typically mobilize same-week.

    Is HECS bonded and insured for HVAC TAB projects in Georgetown?

    Yes. HECS carries general liability, professional liability (errors and omissions), and workers compensation coverage. A certificate of insurance is provided with every proposal.

    What is the difference between HVAC TAB and a pressure test for Georgetown projects?

    HVAC testing and balancing measures specific system performance (airflows, hydronic flows, temperatures, pressures) per AABC / NEBB / NCI standards. A pressure test is a pass/fail leak test on duct or piping envelope. Most Georgetown projects need TAB + a separate duct leakage test for ENERGY STAR or code compliance.

    What building codes does HECS verify HVAC TAB against in Georgetown?

    HECS verifies the service against the applicable Kentucky state energy code, ASHRAE standards, and any program-specific certification path your project requires. Our field verification, certified report, and submission package follow the specific code path your jurisdiction enforces.

    What if my building fails HVAC TAB on the first visit in Georgetown?

    If a measured value is outside the prescribed tolerance (airflow ±10% of design, hydronic ±5%, NC noise level per ASHRAE 62.1), HECS documents the specific deviation, recommends the corrective adjustment, and re-tests those points at no charge for the first re-visit. The certification report only ships once all critical measurements pass.

    Does HECS coordinate HVAC TAB with my commissioning authority (CxA) in Georgetown?

    Yes. We coordinate TAB scheduling and access with the CxA of record, the general contractor, the HVAC subcontractor, and the code official as needed. References from Georgetown-area CxAs and GCs available on request.
