Certified TAB Verification for New Commercial HVAC Installs

When a new commercial HVAC installation is complete, the final hurdle isn’t the equipment—it’s the documentation. Whether you are a Business Owner opening a new restaurant in Naperville, a General Contractor finishing a medical office in Arlington Heights, or an HVAC Firm completing a warehouse in the O’Hare corridor, you need a certified test and balance reports to prove the system meets design specs and local building codes.

At Northwest Energy LLC, we specialize in providing the final, independent 3rd-party verification required to secure a Certificate of Occupancy (CO). We provide Same-Day Report Turnaround so you can open your doors and hand over the keys without delay.

The Final Step: Standardized Testing & Verification

The heavy lifting of the installation is done. Our role is to provide the unbiased technical data that confirms the system is performing as the MEP engineer intended. We provide Business Owners and Contractors with standardized air balance testing for all new commercial builds, including:

  • RTU & Split System Verification: Precise CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) measurements to ensure your units are hitting their design setpoints for maximum efficiency.
  • Outside Air (OA) Calibration: Documenting fresh air intake levels to meet ASHRAE standards—essential for the health and safety of your future employees and customers.
  • Exhaust & Supply Synchronization: Ensuring kitchen hoods, MUA units, and general exhaust fans work in perfect harmony to prevent smoke or pressure issues.

Why Business Owners & GCs Partner with Northwest Energy LLC:

  • Same-Day Certified Reports: In commercial construction, a delay in paperwork is a delay in opening. We deliver your certified air balance report the same day we finish the testing.
  • Protecting the Owner's Investment: For the Business Owner, our independent report is your "insurance policy" that you are receiving a high-performing system that won't lead to high energy bills or "hot and cold" complaints later.
  • Independent 3rd-Party Authority: As a private technical firm (not a utility or a mechanical installer), our reports provide the unbiased "stamp of approval" that village inspectors and engineers demand.
  • Knowledge of Chicagoland Building Departments: We know the specific requirements for inspectors in Lake Zurich, Hoffman Estates, Oak Park, and across Northern Illinois. We speak their language so your walkthrough is a formality.

Certified Results for a Smooth Hand-Over

A new HVAC system isn't "finished" until the air balance is verified and the report is filed. We specialize in the standardized TAB services required for restaurants, office spaces, industrial facilities, and nail salons (including 50 CFM certifications).
