The Blower Door Test
1
All exterior doors and windows are closed and all interior doors are opened
3
The outside air becomes a higher pressure than inside which causes the air to leak out of the unsealed cracks and openings from inside the house
5
A professional insulation company uses different methods to seal up the air leaks that are found based on their nature
2
The blower door is mounted to the front entrance and the fan is turned on pulling air out of the house, lowering the air pressure inside
4
An infrared camera is used to help identify leaky and uninsulated areas
6
The result is drastically reduced air leakage for a more energy efficient and comfortable home
