What Air Balance and Diagnostic Company does

Air Balance and Diagnostic Company is a privately held, founder-owned HVAC services firm established in 2007 and headquartered in Miami, Florida. The company specializes in NEBB-certified Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB) of commercial and residential HVAC systems, including air and hydronics balancing, smoke control system testing and certification, duct leakage testing, and building surveys. Core services also include commercial and residential air conditioning installation, replacement, repair, ductwork, chiller, and cooling tower work, complemented by resales of electrostatic air filters and passive fire protection products such as fire/smoke dampers and actuators.

The company operates with 1-10 employees under the leadership of principal and owner Leonel Payan, who holds the NEBB Certified Professional designation in HVAC Air and Hydronics TAB and is a Certified Mechanical Contractor. Service delivery is performed on-site by field technicians across South Florida, covering Miami-Dade, Broward, West Palm Beach, and Monroe Counties. Bilingual (English/Spanish) service delivery, same-day reports, free estimates on new A/C installations, and flexible preventive service agreements form the commercial backbone of the offering.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees (TAB and A/C labor) and hardware sales, with quote-based pricing and no publicly disclosed rates. The customer portfolio spans government institutions, healthcare facilities, commercial real estate, high-rise residential buildings, restaurants, and financial institutions, with named accounts including FL DMV, Black Point Water Treatment Plant, Victoria Nursing, Murano at Portofino, and Gables Grand Plaza. The company's go-to-market is sales-led, direct-to-customer, relying on its own website, NEBB directory listing, Facebook and LinkedIn presence, and pre-qualified contractor status with Broward County to generate inbound leads. No funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, or AI/technology platform have been disclosed.
