Blower Door Testing
A Closer Look at Air Tightness Assessment
A blower door test consists of a frame that is temporary installed in an exterior doorway of your home and covered with an air tight nylon panel. A large powerful fan is then placed in the panel and a pressure gauge (called a manometer) is attached using a combination of hoses.
Together, it is a diagnostic tool that measures how much air moves through your house per minute. In other words, blower door testing is a test used to determine how air-tight your home is. By depressurizing the house, we can determine where there are air leaks in your home that allow unconditioned exterior air into the home.
THE PROCEDURE
Once the equipment settings and the home is prepared to be tested the powerful fan will begin to depressurize your home. This causes the inside of your home to be at a lower pressure than outside. As this process occurs, the lower pressure is immediately replaced with outside air through seams, gaps, cracks, electrical bypasses, plumbing bypasses and any other place where air may be able to move freely.
Once the testing is complete custom reports are generated and delivered to you for your project.
