Everybody’s worried about the electric bill these days. And let’s be honest—who isn’t concerned about the comfort inside their house? You know the drill: hot spots in one room, cold air sneaking in through another. It’s frustrating.
But what if there was a simple way to pinpoint exactly where those problems start? At LaPlace Insulation, we’ve got just the thing to help: a blower door test.
What’s a Blower Door Test?
We come into your house, set up a blower door on an exterior door, and get to work. It’s not a complicated process, but it’s a powerful one. This test doesn’t just guess where the air leaks are—it tells us exactly where they are.
The blower door creates a difference in pressure, and that pressure finds the leaks. You might not be able to see them with the naked eye, but this device? It doesn’t lie.
Why Are Air Leaks Such a Big Deal?
You might think a little draft here or there is no big deal. But think about it: every leak is a place where your heated or cooled air escapes. And guess what? That’s money out of your pocket every single month.
In New Orleans, where temperatures can swing from hot and sticky to chilly and damp, air leaks can really mess with your comfort—and your wallet. The harder your HVAC system works, the higher your electric bill climbs. That’s why proper insulation in New Orleans is essential for energy savings and year-round comfort.
Why LaPlace Insulation?
We’re not just another insulation company. At LaPlace Insulation, we use equipment like the blower door to give you a clear, accurate reading of your home’s AC performance.
We don’t just find the leaks—we solve them. Whether it’s sealing around windows, insulating your attic, or addressing gaps in the walls, we tailor our solutions to fit your home’s needs.
And here’s the thing: We don’t do guesswork. If we say we’ve found the problem, we’ve got the data to back it up.
What Happens After the Test?
Once the blower door tells us where the leaks are, we walk through the house with you. We show you the weak spots, explain how they’re affecting your comfort and energy use, and lay out a plan to fix them.
Sometimes it’s as simple as adding more insulation to the attic. Other times, it might involve sealing cracks around doors and windows or upgrading to spray foam insulation for better coverage.
Either way, you’ll know exactly what needs to be done—and why.
The Payoff
So, what’s the end game? Better comfort, lower electric bills, and a home that stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter without breaking the bank.
And remember: insulation in New Orleans isn’t just about keeping the temperature steady. It also helps reduce noise, improves air quality, and even cuts down on moisture problems.
In a city like New Orleans, where humidity can be a challenge, proper insulation can make a world of difference.
