Trusted Blower Door Testing Experts Serving Reading & Berks County
Chilly drafts in winter. Muggy rooms in summer. Energy bills that drain your bank account. You feel it every time the wind kicks up. Air leaks are stealing your comfort and money, season after season.
But it doesn’t have to stay that way. With Lantz Insulation’s blower door testing in Reading, PA, we’ll find the problem areas, seal them for good, and leave you with a home that’s comfortable, efficient, and under your control.
How the Blower Door Test Works
A
blower door test determines how much air leaks in and out of your home. We install a temporary frame with a powerful fan in one of your exterior doors. The fan pulls air out, lowering the pressure inside, and forces outside air to rush in through any cracks, seams, and gaps, making it easy to spot exactly where your leaks are happening.
What the Results Tell You
The fan’s calibration tools measure the amount of outside air that can work its way into your home and provide an indoor air quality score (AQI). It’s data you can trust.
During your home air leakage test, we will:
- Measure your home’s airtightness with precision tools
- Identify leaks that cause chilly drafts in winter and stuffy rooms in summer
- Pinpoint problem areas in attics, basements, and crawl spaces
- Recommend targeted sealing and insulation solutions
A blower door test reveals the uncomfortable truth — and the simple fix that puts you back in control of your comfort and costs.
Advanced Thermal Imaging Technologies
See What’s Behind the Walls
A blower door test is just the beginning. Once the fan is running, we use advanced thermal imaging to reveal what’s happening behind your walls, where hidden leaks and insulation gaps often hide.
Pinpoint Hidden Energy Loss
Missed wall cavities, insulation that has settled around pipes, and gaps along studs are all clearly visible. These unseen trouble spots cause drafts, hot spots, and wasted energy, and we make sure none go unnoticed.
This process takes the guesswork out of energy efficiency and gives you a clear, accurate picture of where your home is losing comfort and money.
