Blower Door Testing

COVID-19

Our entire company has been educated on the virus, and is doing everything recommended to practice safe hygiene. Also, we have surveyed all technicians on foreign travel of individuals in their household, and not one has been to any of the regions mentioned by the CDC as being high risk. Lastly, we are checking with technicians on a daily basis to check on any health concerns.

Todd's Air Conditioning & Refrigeration is taking this very seriously and doing everything possible to ensure the safety and health of their employees and customers.

Professional Blower Door Testing

Are you concerned about higher energy costs at home due to air leaks? Find out if there are any and what your home's energy rating is with blower door testing provided by Todd's Air Conditioning & Refrigeration. Our professionals can then seal off those leaks and keep your residence as energy efficient as possible!

What Is Blower Door Testing?

Our blower door tests measure the air infiltration of your home. The blower door itself consists of a frame and flexible panel that fits in a doorway, a variable-speed fan, a pressure gauge to measure the pressure differences inside and outside your home, and an airflow manometer and hoses for measuring airflow.

As the test is being conducted, we monitor all your home's interior spaces for any air escaping or coming in. If an area does have a leak, we seal it up. After the test is complete, we return to replace, repair, or fill in any gaps using the latest technology and products!

Benefits of a Properly Sealed Home

Whether you have an older or a newer home, you can benefit by having it properly sealed:

Reduced energy consumption caused by air leakage
Avoids moisture condensation problems
Avoids uncomfortable drafts caused by cold air leaking in from the outdoors

Prepare for Your Blower Door Test

To prepare for your blower door test, you'll want to take the following steps:

If you heat with wood, be sure all fires are completely out - even coal fires - before our technician arrives. Remove any ashes from open fireplaces
Plan to do a walk-through of your home with our technician. Be prepared to point out areas that you know are drafty or difficult to condition comfortably
Our technician will request access to all areas of your home, including closets, built-in cabinets, attics, crawl spaces, and any unused rooms
Our technician will need to close all exterior doors and windows, open all interior doors, and close any fireplace dampers, doors, and woodstove air inlets
For accurate results and safety, our technician will set the controls on all atmospheric fossil fuel appliances to ensure that they do not fire during the test. Our technician will return them to the original position after the test
Expect the test to take up to an hour or more, depending on the complexity of your home
