Blower Door Testing
Blower Door Testing in Southwest Florida
What Is Blower Door Testing?
Blower Door Testing is a diagnostic tool that measures how airtight your home is. Using a specialized fan mounted to an exterior door, we depressurize the home and detect where air is leaking — around windows, doors, ductwork, and hidden cracks.
At TIES360 Air ducts plus, we use this test to identify energy loss, pinpoint insulation issues, and guide our HVAC improvements.
