Blower Door Testing

Blower Door Testing is a simple, quick but very accurate way to test each homes air “leaks”. By creating a small vacuum in the home, we measure how much cubic feet of air is moving through the residence. The “tighter” we can make a home, the more efficient and comfortable it will be. When homeowners complain about a house being “drafty”, this is exactly what we measure. By combining a blower door test with the thermal imaging cameras, we are able to be very detailed and specific in diagnosing problems.

Most homes that have not been air sealed are around 6-10 ACH, or air changes per hour. That is 6-10 times the total air volume of the home exchanges with the outside air every hour.
