Duct Blaster Test
Today we did our first duct blaster test out at The Glen lot 28. This requires the inspector to cover all the vents and pull air in reverse through the air handler and the ducts. The average homes air handler and duct work leaks 10 to 12% of the air. To be qualified as an Earth Craft home your duct work and air handler must have less that 6% leakage. We had a leakage of only 4.9%!!! That is quite a bit below average and pretty exciting to know we can be that efficient. One of the big difference in efficiency comes from using mastic glue, the material that is coating the duct piece below.
