Duct Blaster Testing

Duct Blaster Testing

What Is Duct Blaster Testing?

  • Diagnostic testing that measures the airtightness of your HVAC duct system.
  • Required in new construction and major remodels to meet building code standards.
  • Duct blaster testing is often performed alongside blower door testing to evaluate how duct leakage impacts overall building airtightness.
  • This test helps identify leaks that reduce system performance and increase energy bills.

Why Duct Blaster Testing Matters

Leaky ducts mean your HVAC system is wasting energy, underperforming, and costing you more every month. Duct blaster testing ensures:

  • Proper airflow and ventilation throughout the home or building
  • Compliance with local energy codes and stretch codes
  • Eligibility for utility rebates and incentive programs
  • A healthier, more efficient indoor environment

Benefits of Duct Blaster Testing

  • Helps pass code inspections
  • Identifies and quantifies duct leaks before drywall or final walkthrough
  • Required for energy-efficient certifications and rebates
  • Improves HVAC performance and airflow
  • Reduces utility bills by minimizing energy waste

The owner of the company is super knowledgeable and responsive. While other companies told me I didn’t qualify for rebates, Josh told me otherwise and guided me through the process. In the end he was right, I got a sizable rebate. I highly recommend working with them and would definitely use them again for future projects.

★★★★★ 10/10 As a builder and real estate developer, I work with a lot of consultants, and JB’s Home Energy stands out. Josh and his team supported my six-unit multifamily new construction project from the very beginning, getting involved during design and helping us evaluate and compare different energy and compliance options before we ever broke ground. They were reliable, stayed on schedule, and communicated clearly throughout the process. The blower door testing at the end was seamless and executed flawlessly. I would not hesitate to work with Josh’s team again and would recommend them without reservation.

We enjoyed working with JBHE and Tacoma Energy over the past year to obtain our maximum MassSave rebates. They were professional, timely, pleasant, and responsible. The home energy installation, assessment, and rebate process in Massachusetts can be complex, and these folks always made it clear and easy for us to navigate. I would highly recommend Josh and Robin! Marc Draisen Roslindale, Massachusetts
