"The customer service was outstanding, the team was highly professional and they made sure I was satisfied with every aspect of the work. I would highly recommend Belle Air Services. I am delighted with the mini split system they installed,. They were on time, courteous, professional, very careful of my home and wore masks and shoes covers throughout the day. There was an issue with a confusing an automated text messaging system that told me another person would be coming to my home. But they made up for that by ensuring that everything was correctly installed and ready to go and came back the next day immediately to check that the system was working correctly."

"Chris came by for a normal AC tuneup and as he was finishing up, we told him about some issues with our dishwasher and master bathroom sink and asked if he knew a plumber. He took care of both our problems right then and there! I’m not sure there’s anything he can’t fix. Chris is our go to guy for EVERYTHING ac/furnace/plumbing and he should be yours too!"

"From beginning to end, The Right Choice Heating and Air Conditioning Co. provided superior quality customer service and onsite work. From scheduling, to multiple follow-ups and reminders, re-confirming exact appointment time, and the post-inspection follow-up, they have truly impressed us. More importantly, Michael Taib, the technician who performed the work at our home, was indeed a true gentleman and professional. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient. I am familiar with the type of HVAC related work requirements, the lingo, and technician data. I quizzed him several times and he constantly responded with 100% honest and factual answers. He tirelessly worked on both of our HVAC units and performed the necessary services and repair. He was polite, courteous and clean. His most impressive talent was ensuring my wife's absolute confidence in his work after she grilled him with so many questions! We will continue to refer True Choice to all our friend and family! Call them; you will not be disappointed."

"I am so glad I did not try to install our new dishwasher myself. Joseph Rand came out from All City Plumbing. We had some difficult existing conditions and our technician finished the job fast, clean and made it look easy. When I call All City back to my home for another job I will request to have Joseph come out.."

"I always had airflow issues in my house, I always thought it was normal, until I decided to reach out for help. Mario with CoolPros Heating and Air came out and gave me a free evaluation. He found most of my ducts had holes, and had major air leaks. I decided to replace with him for a great price he gave me. The quality of service and customer experience was beyond my expectations. Thank you. . Coolpros heating and air! I already referred my sister and she’s having her system installed next week!"

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.
