"I had called another service come give me an estimate to fix my AC. That company did not discuss the problem and what caused it, they just wanted to sell me a whole new system. I then called my home warranty, they sent NexGen Comfort Services. After evaluating my AC's situation, my home warranty would not pay due to the unit not being installed properly in the first place. However, I was so impressed with NexGen I asked them for an estimate. Their estimate did not involve replacing my unit but actually fixing the problem. They fixed the problem as well as brought everything up to code. I am more than pleased with NexGen, they are out to fix the problem, not take advantage of the consumer. Without a doubt if needed, I would not hesitate to call them again and would HIGHLY recommend NexGen Comfort Services. THANK YOU to each of the professional employees that was involved with this project!"

"Osborn Air saved me a lot of trouble when my AC started acting up. I was worried I would need to stay with my sister to get out of the heat, but Jason Osborn came out quick to get things fixed! I was very impressed with the service and how polite the owner was. I will definitely be calling Osborn Air again for any other heating or air problems I might have."

A standard blower door test takes between 30 minutes and one hour to complete. The process involves setting up specialized equipment in your doorway, running the fan to create pressure differences, and taking measurements throughout your home. Additional services like thermal imaging or detailed leak detection will extend this timeframe. The technician will also spend time explaining the results and making recommendations based on their findings.
Preparation involves turning off all combustion appliances, such as gas furnaces and water heaters, for safety. Secure all exterior doors and windows, but leave interior doors open to allow airflow throughout the house. Close fireplace dampers and cover any ashes to prevent them from being drawn into living spaces. Clear access to potential inspection areas like attics and crawlspaces, and inform everyone in the household about the test to prevent accidental door openings during the process.
Older homes often benefit most from blower door testing because they have more air leakage points than newer construction. The test can pinpoint specific areas where relatively inexpensive improvements will yield significant energy savings.
Many homeowners of vintage properties report noticeable reductions in drafts and more consistent indoor temperatures after addressing issues identified during testing. The potential utility savings often recover the testing cost within a reasonable timeframe.
New construction must meet increasingly stringent energy codes that specify maximum allowable air leakage rates. Meeting these standards requires careful attention to air sealing details during construction.
Success depends largely on properly installing air barriers, thoroughly sealing around penetrations, and quality control throughout the building process. While achieving code compliance is challenging, builders who implement systematic air sealing protocols succeed in meeting required standards.
It's best to schedule a follow-up test after completing all recommended air sealing and insulation work. This allows you to verify the effectiveness of your improvements as a complete package. Allow sufficient time for all sealing materials to cure properly—often a few weeks after completion. The verification test provides documentation of your home's improved performance and confirms you've addressed the issues identified in the initial assessment.
