What is a blower door?
A blower door is a machine used to measure the airtightness of buildings. It can also be used to measure airflow between building zones, to test ductwork airtightness and to help physically locate air leakage sites in the building envelope.
There are three primary components to a blower door: (1) a calibrated, variable-speed fan, capable of inducing a range of airflows sufficient to pressurize and depressurize a variety of building sizes, (2) a pressure measurement instrument, called a manometer, to simultaneously measure the pressure differential induced across the face of the fan and across the building envelope, as a result of fan airflow, and (3) a mounting system, used to mount the fan in a building opening, such as a door or a window.
Pricing
Our fee of $200.00 includes a destination trip charge of 75 miles or less round trip from Bartow Florida. For services rendered beyond that distance, if a single family home, an additional $25.00 will be added. Mileage will be calculated by using google maps or Mapquest. lf multiple tests will be done on the same day at close to the same location, then the additional charges will be waived.
