Blower Door Testing
Whether your attic has experienced pest problems in the past or present, or you own an older home with an outdated and degraded insulation type, you may be an excellent candidate for insulation removal. Animal excrement and outdated, questionable chemicals are never a good thing to have lurking over your head. Starting fresh can give you relief from allergies, pesticides, and other contaminates as well as provide a fresh canvas for air sealing your attic.
What is Blower Door Testing?
A blower door test is something most people have never heard of, but is becoming very prominent in building engineering. In short, a blower door test uses a manometer, a fan, and a computer to determine the air exchange in your home, measured in CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). This gives a quantifiable value to your home’s energy efficiency by detecting how air-tight your home is.Your home’s CFM can not only quantify how leaky your home is, but can also allow our experts to determine the source of any air leakage so it can be addressed. Blower doors utilize a powerful fan to reverse airflow through your house, pulling in outside air through any uninsulated or open cavities, which allows thermal cameras to do a better job at detecting thermal differences in these problem areas. Having a quantifiable number of air exchanges before and after you complete any home insulation project allows you to have a demonstrable difference in energy savings through reducing air gaps.
Benefits of Blower Door Testing
When it comes to retrofitting older homes with insulation, there are often problem areas that we cannot see. When the temperature outside is either very hot or very cold, thermal cameras can be effective at detecting air leakage but are not perfect. Blower door testing bridges this gap by quantifying air leakage and making thermal gaps identifiable on a thermal camera regardless of the temperature outside.
