What air balance professionals does

Air Balance Professionals is a privately held, owner-operated HVAC testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) firm headquartered in Macon, Mississippi. Founded in 1980 as Air Balance Engineering by the late Warren Arter of Ecru, Mississippi, the company has served Mississippi and surrounding states for over 35 years under successive ownership by Joel Graber (2007) and Nathan Knepp (2018). The firm performs on-site TAB work for air and hydronic systems across schools, churches, healthcare facilities, government buildings, restaurants, offices, and industrial facilities, and also delivers specialized cleanroom performance testing covering USP 797 & 800 compliance, HEPA leak testing, airflow volume/velocity measurement, air changes per hour verification, room pressurization, temperature and humidity uniformity, and fume hood performance evaluation. All deliverables are reported to NEBB (National Environmental Balancing Bureau) standards.

The business operates a project-based professional services model with quote-based, scope-dependent pricing and on-site field delivery across Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee. Revenue is generated from one-time testing and balancing engagements on new construction and renovation projects for general contractors, mechanical engineers, and institutional owners in education, healthcare, manufacturing, hospitality, religious, and government end-markets. Distribution is direct: customers reach the firm via website, phone, and email, and a named project portfolio spans organizations including Mississippi State University facilities, Baptist Memorial Hospital, LM Windpower, PACCAR Engines, Yokohama Tire, BankPlus, and Courtyard by Marriott. There is no software product, mobile application, API, or channel of partner resellers; the value proposition rests on NEBB-certified reporting accuracy, domain specialization in cleanroom testing, and 35-plus years of regional brand reputation.
