Orange City's Best: Blower Door Testing in Orlando by Cool Concepts

We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your concerns and goals regarding energy efficiency. We'll explain the blower door testing process, answer your questions, and schedule a convenient time for the test. This initial discussion helps us tailor the testing to your specific needs and ensures you're fully informed about what to expect. By addressing your priorities upfront, we lay the foundation for a successful and valuable testing experience. We will set up the test and prepare the premises for the most accurate results.

Our certified technicians will arrive on time and prepare your home for the blower door test. This involves closing all exterior doors and windows, and temporarily sealing any intentional openings, such as vents or fireplace dampers. We'll carefully mount the blower door fan in an exterior doorway, ensuring a secure and airtight seal. This meticulous setup is crucial for accurate measurement of air infiltration. By minimizing external factors, we create a controlled environment for precise testing, enabling us to pinpoint even the smallest leaks. The preparation ensures accurate results and saves time.

Once the blower door is set up, we'll activate the fan to depressurize your home. This creates a pressure difference between the inside and outside, causing air to flow in through any existing leaks. Using specialized equipment, such as thermal imaging cameras and smoke pencils, we'll systematically identify and document these leaks. We'll pay close attention to common problem areas like windows, doors, ductwork, and electrical outlets. This detailed assessment allows us to pinpoint the exact locations where air is escaping, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of your home's energy vulnerabilities. We take pride in being detailed and effective.

Following the blower door test, we'll provide you with a comprehensive report outlining our findings. This report will include detailed measurements of air infiltration, a list of identified leaks, and prioritized recommendations for sealing and insulation improvements. We'll explain the results in clear, easy-to-understand terms, and answer any remaining questions you may have. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions about improving your home's energy efficiency, lowering your utility bills, and creating a more comfortable living environment. We will help you find areas to focus on to maximize savings.
