Using a specialized fan, a blower door test can locate air leaks in your house. As far as testing the airtightness of your home's enclosure goes, this is the gold standard. Increased comfort, better indoor air quality, and greater energy and utility cost savings can be achieved by air sealing and, in some cases, adding additional insulation in homes with significant air leakage.
Using a Blower Door Test to Measure Air Leakage; What to Expect
The first step in conducting a blower door test is sealing off the area and shutting off the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units. Then, we will install a frame and a bendable panel into an existing exterior door in your house. Then you can use a fan with variable speeds to exhaust the air from your house, leaving it at a lower pressure than outside. When this happens, outside air is drawn in through any open windows or doors. By measuring the pressure of the air coming into your house, a pressure gauge can give you an idea of how much air is escaping.
