Frequently Asked Questions

A blower test measures air leakage in your home using a powerful fan that depressurizes the building. This reveals exactly where energy-wasting air leaks occur, helping identify weatherization needs.

Most weatherization projects are completed within one to three days, depending on home size and scope of work. Initial assessment and blower testing typically takes 2-4 hours.

Energy testing identifies hidden air leaks that waste up to 30% of heating and cooling costs. It pinpoints exactly where improvements are needed for maximum efficiency gains.

Home size, age, current insulation levels, and extent of air sealing needed determine costs. Older homes typically require more comprehensive work than newer construction.

Yes, ensure all windows and doors are closed, and clear access to attic, basement, and utility areas. Remove items blocking vents and mechanical equipment beforehand.

Proper weatherization typically reduces energy bills by 15-30% annually. Homes with significant air leaks can see even greater savings after comprehensive sealing and insulation improvements.

Worst case scenario testing evaluates if combustion appliances operate safely under depressurized conditions. It ensures harmful gases like carbon monoxide don't backdraft into living spaces.
