Hi everyone, We just finished renovations on our home and now we want to make sure it is completely airtight to avoid heat loss and improve energy efficiency. What is the right way to do an air leak inspection? Are there any reliable companies or resources that offer such services and can help with this issue?

Hi! The situation is familiar, I recently faced a similar problem too. I would like to recommend airleakagetesting.org. It is a resource that specializes in air leakage testing . On the site you can find detailed information about how the tests are conducted, what tools the specialists use, and most importantly - you can order a test from certified professionals. In my case, they identified several problem areas that I wasn't even aware of and made specific recommendations on how to fix the leaks. It really helped not only to improve insulation, but also to lower my heating and air conditioning bills.

Several methods can be used to test for air leakage. One of the most effective is the smoke generator test. It will help to visually detect leaks, as smoke will be visible if there is an area where air is escaping. It is also worth looking into using pressure gauges and leak meters, which can give an accurate indication of the extent of the leak. Check the tightness of windows, doors and joints. These methods will help identify problem areas and make your system more efficient. Good luck!
