Who we are
 Omega test and balance was established in 2004 to work in conjunction with the mechanical engineering team or owner representative and to assist the installing contractors with proper installation of the mechanical HVAC systems. We work in association with the designing architect and engineer to ensure mechanical efficiency for low maintenance and an economical and energy efficient building for the owner. The employees of Omega have successfully completed a wide range of projects for public and private clientele throughout the Southwest. We recognize the need to provide responsible energy efficient systems using our professional expertise. We pride ourselves on our high level of responsiveness and meeting deadlines. Omega recognizes that each team member’s highest priority must be the fulfillment of team goals, guided independence to those possessing specialized skills and encourage all team members to collaborate freely and communicate openly among themselves.  Avoiding communication breakdowns ensures that a healthy team is one in which every team member possesses all pertinent information. We strive to develop this team concept internally so that it will positively affect the external teams. Our clients are important to us. We strive to assure the building owner gets many years of service from the HVAC and control systems. We realize the value of test and balance services as a valuable part of all projects, through construction and to owner occupancy. It is imperative that the installed equipment be tested and balanced to meet its design intent. Our testing and balancing technicians are equipped with full service measuring equipment for water and airflow to test system efficiencies both before and after design and construction. We review project documents and proper operation of the equipment, and verify calibration of controls to insure proper operation. We practice and follow the balancing guidelines set by the national environmental balancing bureau procedures for balancing and ASHRAE HVAC Applications, chapter 37 for test and balance. Our forms are similar to NEBB format, informative and easy to follow. In addition to new facilities, we specialize in testing existing buildings, either to improve efficiency, to correct problems, or in anticipation of renovations.  As we evaluate specific areas of a building, we take measurements on existing equipment to determine how it is operating with respect to the original design intent and future use.  Omega test and balance is supervised by a certified NEBB test and balance engineer. Each of our technicians holds a certification in safety from OSHA and has attended classes given by the Southwest Safety Training Association. Omega is a NEBB certified company, currently in good standing.
