How is a blower door test performed?

A blower door test is performed using a diagnostic tool that mounts into the frame of an external door in your home. This doorway tool has a large variable speed fan that is used for the testing. With all the windows shut, the fan is turned on, pulling air out of the house, which changes the air pressure. Once this happens, outside air will begin to flow through any unsealed openings. Then with the right tools we are able to measure and determine the tightness and efficiency of your home.

Indoor Air Quality
When evaluating the energy efficiency of your home, we also need to cover indoor air quality, as the two go hand in hand. The tighter and more efficient your home is, the more polluted your indoor air can become. Why? Because things like airborne toxins, pet dander, viruses, mold and bacteria become trapped and recycled throughout your home. When you use toxic cleaners in the bathrooms or kitchen, some that is released into the air. Bacteria and mold can also make their way in. Fumes from new paint, etc.

The good news is there are indoor air quality products that can not only filter and kill even the flu virus, but exchange stale air for fresh outdoor air, monitor humidity levels and protect your HVAC system from mold. As your trusted blower door testing contractor, we will make sure everything is correct and up to code.
