An air flow analysis can help diagnose many conditions that cause problems with the comfort, air quality, and efficiency of your home.

Blower Door Testing Check For Home Air Leaks That Cause:

• High Humidity: In the summer, warm humid air leaks into your crawl space which causes high moisture & humidity. This can create issues such as mold or growth in the crawl space or home which can vastly decrease the air quality & health of a home.
• Hot or Cold Rooms: Hot air in the summer or cold air in the winter that leaks inside your home can create rooms that feel uncomfortable.
• Excessive Dust: Air leaks allow dust, dander and pollutants from the outside air enter your home and make it hard to escape.
• Bug Issues: Hidden holes and cracks are the perfect entrance to your home for pests and bugs. Not only can air leaks allow dirty air inside, but also can allow unwanted pests.
• Musty Smell & Odors: Pollutants, moisture, & dander that get trapped in the home can cause a constant odor in your home.
• Cold Floors: In the winter, cold air leaks in the crawl which can cause cold floors and cold rooms.
• High Power Bills: Heat naturally moves towards cooler areas. Have you noticed that the upper floors of your home are often warmer than the lower levels? This is because warm air, being lighter than cold air, rises. In the winter, the warm air produced by your furnace ascends into the attic, escaping through any gaps, while cold air infiltrates these same spaces, making temperature control challenging. In the summer, the process reverses: warm air enters through the cracks, and the cool air from your air conditioner leaks out. This phenomenon, known as the "stack effect," forces your heating and cooling systems to work harder and longer to maintain comfortable temperatures, leading to higher energy bills.

What is Blower Door Testing?

Blower door testing is a diagnostic tool used to measure the air tightness of buildings. It involves placing a powerful fan into the frame of an exterior door. 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, revealing potential energy leaks.
