Carter Air Balance was started in 1985 by Glenn Carter and in 2001, under the ownership of Vic Congi, Carter Air Balance became NEBB certified. In 2015 the day-to-day operation of Carter Air Balance was handed over to Vic’s son, David Galli.

Carter Air Balance’s goal is to provide total system balance for their clients, implementing NEBB’s Standards and working in cooperation with their respective contractors, owners & engineers. What benefits do your NEBB certification bring to your business? Our NEBB certification ensures clients that we’ve performed our services utilizing rigid national standards. It is more than “you know what you’re doing, the paper says so”, it’s a guarantee that we have balanced their system(s) using nationally standardized methodology with calibrated instrumentation and that all data recorded is accurate and unbiased. This has allowed our company to build wonderful business relationships with clients that endure today and our goal is to build on that into the future. Do your customers understand the importance and value of your NEBB certification? Our clients know that when they hire Carter Air Balance they are getting tremendous value added to their project. We provide total system balance, great client support services, and we work hard to ensure there are no call-backs. Our NEBB certification is the “icing on the cake” for our clients, they understand that our performance is highlighted by the NEBB procedural standards from start to finish on every project.
