Identify and Address Energy Leaks With Blower Door Testing
Wondering how a blower door test works? Our technicians start by sealing your home, making sure all doors and windows are closed. Then, we place the blower door over your front entrance—a plastic cover with a powerful fan. Once we turn on the fan, it pulls air from inside your home and pushes it outside.
This process creates negative pressure inside the house, causing outside air to rush in through any openings to balance the pressure. We measure how quickly this happens to evaluate your home’s sealing efficiency and use tools like smoke pencils to pinpoint the exact locations of air leaks.
Enhance Energy Efficiency With Blower Door Testing
Once the blower door test is completed, we provide a detailed report of where your home is losing and gaining heat. Using this information, you can have air sealing work done to close those leaks, improving your home’s thermal envelope. This leads to better energy efficiency year-round, as it becomes harder for heat to escape in winter and harder for it to enter during summer.
Reduce Energy Costs and Increase Comfort With a Blower Door Test
Even if you think your home is well-sealed, you might be surprised by the results of a blower door test. Older homes typically have more heat leaks, but even newer homes can have inefficient sealing. A blower door test is the ideal first step to improve home energy performance, which can lower your energy bills and eliminate drafts and temperature inconsistencies throughout the year.
