Air Leakage Testing - Duct & Blower Door
Duct & blower door testing are used to identify air leakages in the HVAC system. Correcting these leakages saves money and makes the home more energy efficient and comfortable. It can also improve the indoor air quality, as leakages can lead to moisture issues, which often cause mold growth.
Duct tests are performed to assess potential leakage in the HVAC system. Our technicians execute these tests on each duct system individually by sealing off the system openings and using a machine called a duct blaster.
Duct leakage wastes both money and energy, and often causes uncomfortable temperature disparities in a living or working space. In addition, leaky ducts can negatively impact the indoor air quality of the building by facilitating mold growth within the duct system.
Blower door tests determine the air infiltration rate of a building. A blower door is a powerful fan that mounts into the frame of an exterior door. The fan pulls air out of the house, lowering the air pressure inside. The higher pressure outside air then flows in through all unsealed cracks and openings.
ESG’s blower door testing services are performed to determine air leakage and help builders meet code and program requirements for air infiltration and tightness.
