BelAir Mechanical is Registered with the State of California as a Title 24 HVAC Acceptance Test Company

Why Do We Need Acceptance Testing?
Acceptance tests ensure code compliance and promote optimization of efficiency and performance of qualified mechanical systems in nonresidential buildings. They serve to determine whether specific building components, equipment, systems and interfaces between systems conform to criteria set forth in the 2013 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards for nonresidential buildings only. This includes offices, retail stores, factories, warehouses, schools, churches, hotels, motels and other nonresidential occupancy types.

The tests are an effective tool to ensure proper installation of equipment; and meeting the energy goals of owners, occupants and the community. The benefits of properly installed systems include energy savings, extended equipment life

Bel Air Mechanical is certified to conduct the required acceptance tests, submit results and certificates to enforcement agencies

When Are Acceptance Tests Required?
Mechanical acceptance tests apply to new equipment and systems installed in new construction, change-out or retrofit applications. If an acceptance test is required, the appropriate form along with each specific test must be submitted to the enforcement agency before a final occupancy permit can be granted.

Bel Air Mechanical is registered with the State of California as a Mechanical Acceptance Testing Employer.

What Is Acceptance Testing
Acceptance testing is the process by which a field technician verifies the installation and operation of newly installed equipment or construction elements of a nonresidential building. Since 2005, the Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Standards) has required acceptance testing for nonresidential buildings.
