Air tightness is key to helping you understand what the ventilation rates around your home are through calculations such as air leakage rates, air permeability and more.

Poor ventilation within the home can lead to condensation, mould growth and damp around the home – leading to poor health for the occupants.

The technician will bring a compressed cylinder into the property along with various sensors. The cylinder sends out harmless shockwaves of air and the sensors make calculations based on how long it takes for the pressure to return to normal and come up with the pulse testing result. 

Why Air Tightness testing matters

Lower heating bills – reduce unwanted heat loss by finding out what’s causing it

More comfort – fewer draughts and cold spots

Better retrofit planning – air tightness testing is essential for energy efficiency upgrades

Improved indoor air quality – supports ventilation systems meaning fresher air is cirulating around the property.
