High electrical bills? Get a Duct Air Leakage Test or a Blower Door Test
Energy Testing Reveals Air Leakage
Soaring Electric Bills?
Zap Killer Watts will identify rogue air !
Outside Air Enters
Holes, cracks, window, doors, ceiling, vents, fireplaces, switches, plumbing fixtures are leaking air.
Indoor Air Escapes
Excess indoor and outside air flow can add up to 30% more to your electric bill. Duct air leakage or blower door testing measures air leakage and suggests remedies.
In order to assess rogue air coming in and going out - which causes higher electrical bills - the first step is an Energy Efficiency Test.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY TESTING
BLOWER DOOR TESTING
A diagnostic Blower Door Test measures air flow and air tightness throughout the entire structure.
- The test identifies the amount of air leakage entering and exiting the structure.
- Recommends remedial actions to save on energy usage and costs.
- OPTIONAL: Include Infrared imaging to reveal specific air leakage locations.
ENERGY AUDIT
An Energy Audit is a comprehensive home inspection, systematic testing and assessment of a building envelope’s energy systems function and efficiency.
- Determine air leakage and other factors with blower door fan, manometer, and infrared camera imaging.
- Improve comfort, health and safety, including an evaluation of any damp and mold.
- Evaluate condition of electric appliances.
The purpose of an Energy Audit is to identify opportunities for:
- Reducing energy consumption
- Improving energy efficiency
- Lowering energy costs
DUCT AIR LEAKAGE
A diagnostic Duct Air Leakage test
measures air leakage in HVAC ducts.
- An independent, qualified Tester performs the test to determine the rate of air leakage which needs to be less than 5%.
- The NC Building Code requires a Duct Air Leakage Test for all new HVAC systems.
- General and HVAC Contractors -
Be Compliant with Code and Schedule a Duct Air Leakage Test
CERTIFIED BUILDING ANALYST
- All testing done by Building Performance Institute Certified Building Analyst
- NC Residential Building Code: Testing is mandatory for all new homes and HVAC retrofits.
- Reduce energy consumption, save money and improve comfort, health and safety.
