The Blower Door Test

All exterior doors and windows are closed and all interior doors are opened

The outside air becomes a higher pressure than inside which causes the air to leak out of the unsealed cracks and openings from inside the house

A professional insulation company uses different methods to seal up the air leaks that are found based on their nature

The blower door is mounted to the front entrance and the fan is turned on pulling air out of the house, lowering the air pressure inside

An infrared camera is used to help identify leaky and uninsulated areas

The result is drastically reduced air leakage for a more energy efficient and comfortable home

Air sealing, insulation and other affordable efficiency upgrades can reduce energy loss which helps to lower your monthly utility bill

Using energy more efficiently is a cost-effective way to help make our world a better place to live

Upgrades can lead to cleaner air as well as more consistent heating and cooling throughout the house
