What is a Blower Door Test?
A blower door test is a tool used by energy professionals to assess the airtightness of a building. During an energy assessment, this can help locate leaks where interior conditioned air is escaping, making a home less comfortable and less efficient, costing you money.
A blower door test is also required by MUBEC, the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code, to meet new residential and commercial construction. Free Energy Maine can assist with blower door testing and produce code compliant reporting for your cosntruction.
Duct Blast Testing:
In Maine, new home construction must meet strict building code requirements, including duct leakage testing before occupancy approval. Free Energy Maine provides duct leakage testing throughout Greater Portland and southern Maine, helping ensure your project meets all code standards.
