Expert Blower Door Testing in Jacksonville, FL
Blower door testing measures how much air leaks through your home's envelope. At Blizzard Home Energy & Insulation, we serve homeowners across Jacksonville, St. Johns County, Clay County, Nassau County, Lake City, Bradford County, Union County, and Baker County. A calibrated fan mounts in an exterior doorway and depressurizes your home to 50 pascals. Digital gauges then record how much air moves through gaps, cracks, and unsealed penetrations in walls, ceilings, floors, and around windows and doors. The result is an ACH50 reading that tells you exactly how leaky your home is. In Florida's hot, humid climate, excess air infiltration pulls in outdoor heat and moisture year-round. That drives up cooling costs and can feed humidity problems inside the home. Homes built before Florida's 2017 blower door code requirement may never have been tested. If yours is one of them, this test gives you a clear, measured starting point for any air sealing work ahead. Call us to schedule your blower door test in Jacksonville or any of our service areas.

Blower Door Testing FAQ
Common questions about blower door testing in Jacksonville, FL.
Yes, older Jacksonville homes built before July 2017 were not required to pass a blower door test under Florida's building code. Testing now gives you a clear picture of how much air your home leaks and where.
It measures the total air leakage through your home's envelope, expressed as air changes per hour at 50 pascals (ACH50). This number tells you whether your Jacksonville home is losing conditioned air through gaps and cracks.
The test quantifies total air leakage throughout the envelope and creates pressure conditions that make individual leaks easier to locate. Common problem spots in Jacksonville homes include attic bypasses, plumbing penetrations, and gaps around windows and doors.

Blower door testing is a focused diagnostic that measures air leakage through your home's envelope and produces a single ACH50 result. A whole-home energy audit is a broader service that covers multiple systems and is available separately.
Jacksonville's heat and humidity are present most of the year, so every gap in your envelope pulls in warm, moist outdoor air continuously. That forces your cooling system to work harder and can raise indoor humidity levels.
