Why Do It and What Does It Tell You?
Imagine your home is like a big box. If the box has holes, the stuff inside can get out. Same with your house – if it has gaps, your warm or cold air can escape, making you pay more for heating or cooling.
Blower Door Test helps us find these gaps. We put a big fan in your door that sucks air out. If a lot of air rushes back in from the outside, it means your house has gaps where the air is escaping. By knowing this, we can help you seal those gaps and save money on your bills.

After locating these leaks, our team provides tailored solutions to seal them effectively. This could involve applying weather-stripping to doors and windows, caulking around plumbing and wiring entries, or adding insulation in key areas like attics and basements. It’s not just about patching up visible gaps; it’s about creating a comprehensive seal that encompasses your entire home.
Regular blower door tests are a crucial part of home maintenance. Over time, houses settle, and materials degrade, which can lead to new leaks. By scheduling periodic tests, you can stay ahead of these issues, ensuring your home remains energy-efficient and comfortable year-round.
