Air pressure test

Is your house or business premises cold or difficult to heat?

An Air Pressure Test will identify how much air is leaking in and out your house. In conjunction with thermal imaging, we can identify where the leaks are located with an Air Pressure Test. We can recommend remedial steps to be taken and once these are carried out (e.g. draught proofing, sealing of joints and improved insulation) this will make your home more comfortable and reduce the cost of heating the house substantially.

Energis Consulting specialises in residential and commercial air pressure testing which includes homes, offices, shops, pubs etc.  We use state of the art technology in carrying out these tests and we provide a detailed analysis on how to reduce the air permeability of your home/business premises.

What is an Air Pressure Test?

An Air Pressure Test measures the uncontrolled flow of air that can come through any gaps or cracks within a building. Prior to the commencement of the test, all external openings are sealed (i.e. Vents, Chimneys, Waste Pipes). Air Tightness Testing makes any air leakage distinctly measurable. This testing provides an acceptable criteria and a repeatable quality test. The calculated representative leakage characteristics of a building – the Air Permeability - is expressed in m3/hr/m2 @ 50 Pa. By reducing uncontrolled air leakage in your home, you will reduce unnecessary heat loss and draughts.
