Duct Leakage Testing in Kent, NY

Serving Kent HVAC Contractors
Kent is a rural town in central Putnam County built around the New York City reservoir system, where lake-community homes and wooded properties frequently need full duct system replacement and code-compliant leakage testing.
Kent sits in the center of Putnam County around the West Branch and Boyd Corners reservoirs that feed New York City's water supply. The hamlets of Kent Cliffs, Kent Lakes, and Ludingtonville, along with the northern reach of Lake Carmel, are largely lake-community and wooded residential neighborhoods where older seasonal cottages are being converted to year-round homes. That conversion work often means new full HVAC systems and ductwork, all of which now require leakage testing. Contractors typically pair Kent with adjacent Carmel or Putnam Valley appointments on the same northern route.
Westchester Duct Testing provides residential duct leakage testing for HVAC contractors throughout Putnam County. 45–55 minutes from our Harrison office. We show up, run the test, and hand you the signed report the same day.
