Building Envelope Testing in Covington, GA & Surrounding Areas

Is your home or building losing energy through hidden air leaks? Redwood Heating & Air offers professional building envelope testing in Covington, GA and nearby communities, helping you pinpoint inefficiencies, improve comfort, and meet code requirements with confidence.

What Is Building Envelope Testing?

Building envelope testing is a diagnostic service that evaluates how well a home or structure is sealed against the outdoor environment. By assessing the airtightness of walls, windows, doors, ceilings, and floors, this test identifies areas where unwanted air exchange occurs.

At Redwood Heating & Air, we use blower door testing equipment—a powerful fan and precise pressure gauges—to measure airflow and detect leaks in the building’s envelope. This process gives us a clear picture of how much conditioned air is escaping and where improvements can be made.

Why Airtightness Matters

Air leaks may seem minor, but they can have a major impact on your comfort, energy bills, and indoor air quality. During heating and cooling seasons, your HVAC system works harder to compensate for the lost air, leading to:

• Higher energy costs
• Uneven indoor temperatures
• Increased strain on HVAC systems
• Drafts and poor indoor air quality

Our building envelope testing identifies these trouble spots so you can take action—whether that’s sealing gaps, upgrading insulation, or making other energy-saving improvements.

Code Compliance Made Easy

For new construction or major renovations in Georgia, blower door testing and building envelope evaluations are often required to meet residential energy codes, including IECC (International Energy Conservation Code) standards.

Redwood Heating & Air works with builders, contractors, and homeowners to ensure testing is completed quickly, accurately, and in compliance with local codes. We provide detailed reports and recommendations to help you pass inspections and stay on track with your project timeline.
