A duct blaster test is used to determine how much air is leaking from your home’s ductwork. The test uses a device called a duct blower, which is connected to your ductwork and blows air through it. The amount of air that leaks out of the ductwork are measured and used to calculate the leakiness of your ducts.
A duct blaster test aims to determine if your home’s ductwork is sealed correctly. If there are leaks in the ductwork, it can allow dust, pollen, and other allergens into your home, which can cause respiratory problems for people with allergies or asthma. In addition, leaks in the ductwork can also lead to higher energy bills because heated or cooled air can escape through the holes and cracks.
A duct blaster test is typically performed by a professional contractor who has experience in performing these types of tests. If you’re thinking about having a duct blaster test done on your home’s ductwork, reach out to our team, and we would be glad to give you a free consultation.
