Working closely with their clients from start to fin-ish with high standards and professionalism are the goals they aim to accomplish at West Coast Test and Balance. Based out of Livermore, most of their work is performed in the Bay Area primarily for Design Build Mechanical Contractors, but occasion-ally they work for the prime contractor or the engineer of record. West Coast Test and Balance’s TAB technicians are well versed and do a thorough job in air and hydronic balancing, system surveys and troubleshooting. They work on manufacturing, cleanroom, pharmaceutical, laboratory, vivarium, medical and a variety of office buildings.With over 25 years of field experience in Northern and Southern California, the decision to start West Coast Test and Balance wasn’t a hard one for the owner, Stephen Perry, to make. Stephen started his career work-ing for independent companies here in the Bay Area. Stephen had very little formal training at that time, but was fortunate to have mentored under some of the brightest minds in the industry. This experience enabled him to hurdle various obstacles in his field. After years of working with independent companies, gaining more knowledge and skill, Stephen eventually had the opportunity to work for a large Design Build Mechanical Contractor. Stephen was soon running the TAB Department. In 2011, West Coast Test and Balance officially became a part of the TAB network here in the Bay Area. It was a firm which started as a one man shop and has grown to six employees. Stephen Perry currently holds a NEBB certification in Testing, Adjusting and Balancing as a Certified Professional. He has held his NEBB TAB certification for over 20 years. The firm’s four technicians are currently pursuing their NEBB certification in Testing, Adjusting and Balancing for Certified Technicians.Stephen feels that his NEBB certification has helped him advance in his career field and has provided him with the skills and knowledge he needs to be successful. “NEBB has increased our market in the Bay Area and has opened doors to other opportunities here in California. A NEBB Certified Professional delivers an understanding of theory and the practical side of the design intent.” The NEBB certification has brought value to the firm as reflected in their increased market share. Their clients are very pleased that West Coast Test and Balance can bring NEBB to the table.
