House Pressure and CO Testing Services

House Pressure Problems and wind-induced pressure problems can cause smoking fireplaces and wood stoves, CO backup into the house from furnaces, hot water heaters, and gas logs or inserts, and cold air drafts and drafty chimneys. 

We offer two testing methods for house pressure tests.  

  • Visual Testing: Our technician will check the house visually and by opening and closing doors, checking fireplace draft, etc. We are usually pretty accurate and know the signs of negative air pressure in a home.  Corrective equipment is sized according to the square footage of the home, number of doors and windows, and number of fans in the house.  In most cases, we can figure the correct size equipment with this information alone.  

Free with chimney cleaning or other maintenance, otherwise a  $99 fee will apply. 

_______________________________________

  • Equipment Testing: Our second method involves house pressure and CO testing equipment. Order this option if you need to know exactly how much air is needed in the home.  Usually only larger homes with tall ceilings and unusual layouts need this type of testing. 

$175 for the first floor and basement, $50 per floor for each additional floor. 


Carbon Monoxide (CO) Testing: 

  • We offer CO testing of gas logs, gas burning inserts, hot water heaters, furnaces, or other appliances.  If notified in advance, we will check for CO at the time you have your furnace or fireplace flue cleaned at no additional charge.  Otherwise, a $99 fee will apply.
