Blower Door Fan

Are you dealing with drafts, high energy bills, a pest infestation, or poor indoor air quality? All of these issues can stem from air leaks—small gaps and cracks in your home’s walls, attic, and foundation. Air leaks allow air to move into and out of your home uncontrollably, which can create uncomfortable drafts and drive up your energy costs. These openings also create an entry point for pests, moisture, and outdoor air pollution.

Finding and closing up air leaks will make your home healthier, more energy efficient, and more comfortable. The Insulation Man offers blower door testing in the Binghamton, New York area to assess how much energy (and money) is escaping through air leaks, and how much you're likely to save by fixing those leaks.

How Does a Blower Door Test Work? 

A blower door is a diagnostic tool that home energy auditors use to evaluate the airtightness of a building. The blower door is essentially a temporary door with a powerful fan that’s set up in your home’s entryway. The fan sucks the air out of your house to lower the pressure inside. Because air naturally moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, outside air will enter your home through any unsealed gaps and cracks. 

As part of this process, we will inspect the house with a nontoxic smoke stick to pinpoint hidden air leaks, making it much easier to address them when the time comes to get to work. Depending on your blower door test results, we may recommend air sealing and insulation upgrades to tighten your home and prevent energy waste.
