Home Comfort Advisors

I recently interviewed Chris Hughes and Steve Rogers from The Energy Conservatory, the company behind the blower doors, duct blasters, and airflow testing equipment used by energy raters, HVAC professionals, and home performance contractors across the country.

We discussed why so many comfort, humidity, indoor air quality, and energy efficiency problems are misdiagnosed, and how simple testing can reveal issues that homeowners and contractors often miss!

You'll Learn:

✅ What a blower door test is and what it measures
✅ Why airtight homes are more comfortable and healthier
✅ The truth about the "houses need to breathe" myth
✅ How duct leakage affects comfort, humidity, and energy bills
✅ Why airflow testing matters for HVAC performance
✅ Common bathroom exhaust fan mistakes
✅ Indoor air quality, CO₂, and radon monitoring
✅ Energy code compliance & the future of construction & home peformance
