DuctDetect

DuctDetect is a mobile + web app that helps homeowners and small HVAC contractors pinpoint duct leakage and airflow imbalance using guided tests and inexpensive tools (a $25–$60 handheld anemometer and basic temperature probes). The app walks users through room-by-room supply/return measurements, compares results to expected ranges based on system type and home size, and flags likely problem zones (kinked flex duct, crushed runs, disconnected boots, blocked returns, dirty filter, undersized returns). It then generates a prioritized fix list with estimated impact (comfort, noise, energy) and a simple “what to check next” flow. It’s not magic: it won’t replace a blower door or professional static pressure testing, but it can dramatically reduce trial-and-error and help users decide when to DIY vs call a pro. Reports are shareable for quotes and warranty discussions.
