In Utah County's variable climate, where temperatures can range from below freezing in winter to over 90°F in summer, maintaining an energy-efficient home is essential for managing utility costs. The Department of Energy estimates that air leaks in homes can account for 25-40% of the energy used for heating and cooling.
At Elevate Insulation, we help homeowners identify and eliminate these costly air leaks through professional testing for a blower door in Utah County. Our certified technicians use advanced diagnostic equipment to precisely measure your home's air tightness and pinpoint areas where conditioned air escapes. This scientific approach takes the guesswork out of home energy improvements, allowing you to make targeted upgrades that maximize your investment.
Ready to make your home more comfortable and energy-efficient? Let's work together to create a more comfortable living space while reducing your energy bills!
A blower door test is a scientific diagnostic tool that precisely measures your home's airtightness. Using calibrated equipment, our certified technicians:
Set up a temporary door-mounted fan system
Depressurize your home to -50 Pascal
Use infrared imaging to detect air leakage points
Measure your home's Air Changes per Hour (ACH)
Provide detailed documentation of findings
The entire process typically takes 2-3 hours and causes minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Why a Blower Test in Utah County Is Essential
Local factors make blower door testing particularly valuable in Utah County:
Extreme Seasonal Changes. Helps your home cope with temperature variations between winter and summer.
High-Altitude HVAC Efficiency. Compensates for HVAC efficiency issues due to the high-altitude location.
Building Code Compliance. Meets new air tightness standards required by local building codes.
Older Homes. Addresses inadequate air-sealing in homes built before 2000, which make up about 58.3% of local housing.
A blower door test helps measure how much air leakage your home has, so we can make targeted energy efficiency improvements.
