External Static Pressure (ESP)
External Static Pressure (ESP) is a measurement of the resistance that the Air Handlers blower must overcome to move air through the ductwork, filters, and registers. Think of it like a person blowing through a straw; the longer and more narrow the straw, the higher the "pressure" needed. If your Ducted system has an ESP that is too high, the motor will work harder, use more electricity, and move less air. This is often caused by dirty filters, undersized ducts, or excessive Flex Duct. Our ACIq air handlers are rated for specific ESP levels to ensure they can perform in any home layout. Technicians use a manometer to measure this value during the commissioning of a Mobile Home Complete System. Keeping ESP within the manufacturer's specified range is the key to a quiet, efficient, and long-lasting HVAC system. It is the primary metric for diagnosing airflow problems in any residential or commercial property.
