Setup Blower Door Testing in Andover
A blower door test can help determine whether or not a room in a building has air leaks. Blower door tests rely on simple physics. Namely, the natural phenomenon where too air pressure differences will always balance out with higher pressures flowing toward lower pressures. A blower door test is done by sealing the ducts (if applicable) and replacing a door with a special blower door. This door is used to create an air pressure differential on either side. If you have air leaks, that differential will equalize quickly. Overall the test involves seeing how long a room can maintain the differential. Blower door testing is also frequently used with air barrier sealing to help not only identify air leaks but solve them.
Aeroseal Air Barrier Sealing in Andover, Massachusetts
Air barrier sealing from Aeroseal is a revolutionary way to make a building more energy efficient. There are two main methods by which our team uses Air Barrier technology. Aeroseal Duct Sealing works by spraying the Aeroseal polymer material into the ductwork so it can collect around cracks, crevices, or other imperfections and help improve the efficiency of the property. The Aeroseal Envelope service can work for buildings that do not have ductwork. This service uses a blower door to pressurize a room, and naturally, as the air escapes through leaks, it carries the Aeroseal material. The material gathers at the leak points and closes the leaks.
Blown-In Insulation For Andover, MA
Compared to traditional batt insulation, blown-in insulation has many benefits. Batt insulation requires cutting panels of insulation material, which inherently means there are cracks between the pieces. Moreover, if you have a property with unique geometry, especially in attics, you will struggle to properly insulate the room. Blown-in insulation can either be done on its own or it can shore up batt insulation. Blown-in insulation works by blowing insulation material into a building so it can provide more comprehensive coverage. We work with a variety of materials, including rockwool and cellulose.
