What is Blower Door Testing?

Blower door testing of building tightness and air infiltration. Duct Blaster testing of the buildings HVAC system to locate air leaks in the duct system. Complete digital report of findings with recommendations for repairs needed are included.

We use blower door testing to check building tightness and air infiltration. We use duct blaster testing of the building’s HVAC system to locate air leaks in the duct system.

Blower doors consist of a frame and flexible panel that fit in a doorway, a variable-speed fan, a pressure gauge to measure the pressure differences inside and outside the home, an airflow manometer and hoses for measuring airflow. The fan pulls air out of the house, lowering the air pressure inside. The higher outside air pressure then flows in through all unsealed cracks and openings.

We will provide a complete digital report of findings with recommendations for repairs needed.
