Kahoe Air Balance Co

Kahoe Air Balance Co operates from Eastlake, Ohio, serving Willoughby and the broader Cleveland metropolitan area along with branch locations in Pittsburgh, Columbus, and Cincinnati/Dayton. The company holds a 3.7-star rating from 6 customer reviews and specializes exclusively in test and balance (TAB) services for commercial and institutional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. As a member of the Associated Air Balance Council, they provide independent third-party verification that HVAC systems perform as design engineers intended.

What distinguishes Kahoe Air Balance from typical HVAC contractors is their narrow focus on testing, adjusting, and balancing rather than equipment sales or repair. Their service portfolio includes air and hydronic systems balancing, HEPA filter testing using DOP methods, clean room certification for specialized environments, and smoke evacuation system testing. They also perform pre-construction plan checks and on-site reviews, positioning themselves as a technical resource for engineers and building managers rather than a general contractor for homeowners.

Customer feedback reveals mixed experiences. Andrew Hager, who awarded 5 stars, specifically praised their professional approach and noted their involvement in establishing National Standards for Total System Balance through AABC. However, two reviewers, Brian Burke and Choukri Khouili, both awarding 1 star, reported significant communication issues, one stating they contacted multiple offices without receiving any response, and the other characterizing their experience as the worst customer service ever.
