How to Conduct a Blower Door Test on a House : How to do a Blower Test

i liked the video, but it could've been a bit longer.. for example after you get the readings what do you do then?

A complete guide to the standard blower door test for dwellings would be a great idea and very helpful to anyone not familiar with the equipment. A longer video than the 1-2min videos currently uploaded would be much better. A full test (if done alone) can take up to 2 hours from setting up the equipment and preparing the building to packing the equipment away.

Delete this video. It is pointless and cut short.

Too short to provide anything but a visual of the machine in operation.

Thank you for posting this video. It is indeed important to get professional help and get a blower door test done in our homes and ensure that we are not wasting energy.

It sure looks like he is running the blower door backwards. Normally for an audit you would depressurize the home, which would cause the cloth of the door to be sucked in from the outside. The cloth in this video is being sucked outwards, meaning he is pressurizing the structure. Maybe it is just an illusion of the camera angle.

This didnt show very much, I was expecting a "How to" with items in your own home sort of thing. Not a "Call us and we'll perform the blower door test for you AT A PRICE" deal.
