Blower Door Testing

Is the airflow in your home insufficient? Do you believe you’re losing heat or cool air because of air leakage? The reason your energy bill could be skyrocketing is because air is leaking from your home, forcing your heating or cooling systems to use more energy to maintain the inside temperature.

Luckily for you, Blower Door Concepts has the right solution for you! Our professional service performs blower door testing on your home as a diagnostic tool to see if you have poor airflow or air leakage leading to an increase in your energy bills.

Why Is Having an Airtight Home Important?

Aside from minimizing the cost of your energy bills, having an airtight home is essential for several reasons. An airtight home can improve indoor air quality by blocking pollen, dust, other outdoor pollutants, and smoke from entering the home. Proper home tightness can also guard against condensation problems from drafts that permit moisture to gain entrance. It’s important to perform blower door testing to ensure your home is airtight, maintains quality indoor air, and avoids condensation buildup that can lead to mold or mildew.

How Does Blower Door Testing Work?

Blower door testing consists of mounting a powerful fan in the frame of an exterior door of a home. With calibration, the professional technician will either use the fan to pull air out, lowering air pressure, or push air in to increase the air pressure. During this process, the blower door test company may use an infrared camera to look at areas of the home that could be leaking air or missing insulation. This helps the technician determine where the home needs resealing to prevent air leakage in the future.
