Fairbury Energy Audit Articles

A home energy audit can stop uneven heating and cooling

An energy auditor may perform a blower door test, which is used to determine the air infiltration rate of a home. For the test to work, an auditor mounts a fan to an exterior door and removes air from the home, lowering the pressure inside. It forces outside air to flow in through any cracks or gaps in the home, expsoing points of air infiltration.
