I wanted to fool around with one without paying the 2-3 grand, so I built one. (yes you read that right) I used a $200 air mover, an adjustable metal frame, and and non sophisticated poly tarp for the cover. After testing my house, (6 years old, 1500 sq ft plus full basement) I later discovered that I had broken 6 window seals. It now sits in my basement, never to be used on a customers house. There also is the possibility of disturbing now dormant mold, and depositing it where it might grow.

What I love most is how a simple request for parts to complete the set-up gets you smart *** answers. Builders are becoming conscious everyday about the move to build green and yes, using a blower door tells me if they are doing a good job. I have 4 fans and duct blasters that are in use Monday-Friday testing new construction. Right now there are just over 8,000 HERS raters, most estimates say we are going to need 10 times that number in the future.
Additionally, I have an Infiltech Duct Blaster kit for sale, message me for details. Inspecting Norfolk and Hampton Roads www.procraftinspections.com Energy Audits in Norfolk www.procraftgreen.com |
