Find and Fix Energy Leaks With Blower Door Testing
How does a blower door test work? First, our technicians will create a seal for the outside of your home, closing all doors and windows. Then we’ll attach the blower door over the open front door of your house: this is a door-shaped plastic seal that contains a powerful blower fan. When we activate the blower, it draws air from your house and expels it outside.
This creates negative air pressure inside the building, and this will cause air outside the home to start to rush indoors to balance the pressure. The air will move through any gap it can. We can use the blower door to test how fast this happens, indicating how effective the outdoor sealing on your home is, as well as special smoke pencils to locate those air leaks.
Boost Your Home’s Energy Efficiency With a Blower Door Test
After we’ve finished the blower door test, we can give you a rundown of places where your home is losing and gaining heat. With the information available, you can have air sealing performed that closes these gaps and leaks in the heat envelope of your house. This will translate into superior energy efficiency in summer (when heat will have a harder time getting in) and in winter (when heat will have a harder time getting out).
Lower Energy Bills and Improve Comfort—Get a Blower Door Test
You might think your home isn’t filled with air leaks, but you may be surprised to discover the truth. Older homes often have poor heat sealing, and even newer homes can be surprisingly deficient when it comes to their performance. A blower door is the best starting point for boosting home performance that not only lowers energy bills but eliminates cold drafts and hot spots around the year.
