Leaky houses & Blower tests

Maine is a majestic place to live, from the snowy winters to lazy summer days sent outside. Our homes are impacted by the changing temperatures. We have heating and cooling bills that can change as the years go on. One of the reasons is because air is leaking from our homes. Which can make them hard to heat and hard to cool. The only way to know whether your home is leaky or tight is to measure its air leakage rate with a blower door which can measure and help locate leaks in your home.

The trees were harvested in 25-foot logs, which is the maximum length Maschino Lumber’s sawmill can handle. …
