Tools and Methods


Minneapolis Blower Door
        • Blower door tests measure air leakage of the home and assist in calculating the air exchanged with the outside over a period of time.
        • When blower door testing is used with a pressure pan, the leakage in the heating duct system can be quantified and it helps to identify duct problems. 
        • Testing of newly constructed homes helps determine if a home meets the current energy code requirements.
        • Testing of existing homes allows comparison with other homes of similar age and design and helps to identify and prioritize the improvement needs.

        • Ensures new furnaces installed to existing heat ducting are sealed properly for optimal performance.
        • Like a Minneapolis Blower Door the Minneapolis Duct Blaster aids in finding leaks but in the home ducting system.
