What Is Blower Door Testing and Why It’s Important

A blower door test measures how airtight your home is by using a special fan to create air pressure inside. This test reveals where air leaks occur — helping improve comfort and reduce energy bills.

Our Lynwood team performs accurate testing and provides tailored sealing recommendations.

Most Lynwood homes take about 60–90 minutes to complete. We know many houses here were built in the ’70s and ’80s, so we bring equipment calibrated for older structures with mixed insulation quality.

No special permit is required for blower door testing in Lynwood, but if you’re doing major renovations or applying for an energy rebate through ComEd or Nicor Gas, your blower door results are often required for compliance.

Pricing usually starts around $200–$250 depending on home size and condition. Older Lynwood homes near Torrence Avenue or Ridge Road sometimes need a bit more time due to added leakage points we need to test carefully.

Fall and winter are ideal since the temperature difference helps reveal air leaks faster. Lynwood’s chilly lake-effect winds can exaggerate drafts, making it the perfect time to pinpoint problem areas before heating costs rise.
