A tighter envelope means less load, meaning smaller, more efficient HVAC equipmentāsaving energy and reducing upfront costs.
Poor comfort, short cycling, and inefficient operation often result from ignoring envelope leaks. Blower-door testing uncovers these issues early.
Testing the envelope covers more leakage area than all ductwork combinedāskipping it omits a major source of energy loss.
HVAC pros can easily add blower-door and duct testing to their offerings, boosting revenue and expanding their market appeal.
