Blower Door & Duct Blasting

 

Finding a draft in your home can affect your comfort level and lead to higher energy costs. Having an air-tight building or home will save you money and limit the energy waste you could create. Utilizing blower door and duct blasting can help you find what areas need sealing and take the first steps toward better energy efficiency. 

How This System Measures Air Leakage

Blower doors use a high-powered fan to feel the effects of infiltration and use gauges to measure leaks around the building. This reads and compares the air pressure inside your home and outside of your home. They track these by air changes per hour or ACH. The fan works to maintain pressure inside the home of 50 Pascals. The leakier the home, the harder the fan works to maintain the pressure. 

Duct blasting utilizes a smaller fan and pressure gauge to see leakage in the ductwork. This process is similar to a test that would be done on your plumbing to test pressure inside pipes. HVAC systems normally experience 25 Pascals so if your pressure is lower, you can determine that the duct is not properly sealed. Depending on how far off the pressure is, the test will help paint a better picture of how many leaks or how large the leaks are that you may need to address. My Energy Masters can perform this process for homeowners and business owners to give you a clear understanding of how much energy you may be wasting. 

My Energy Masters uses these tests on homes or commercial spaces in order to help determine how much energy waste is occurring and help to improve contaminated air inside your home. 

Improve Your Overall Duct Performance

Utilizing duct blasting devices can help improve the performance of your ductwork and HVAC system. Letting leaks take over your ducts can weaken the overall efficiency of the entire system. If you want your heat and cooling system to work for a longer period of time, it needs proper maintenance and checkups to prevent energy loss. 

Leaks can be dangerous for your home as well because these air leaks can draw air from crawlspaces, attics, and garages. With this air can come excess dust, mold spores, insulation fibers, and other harmful contaminants or allergens. Return leaks can also overwhelm the dehumidification capacity inside your ducts, which can make your home feel and smell musty.
