Draughts are common in both old and new homes. Building regulations now require all new homes in Ireland to undergo an air-tightness test.

How the service works
Heat loss and draughts are invisible by nature — pressure testing, smoke tracing, and thermal imaging make them visible so they can be fixed.
It’s easy to spot a draughty house: a door “pulls” as you close it, curtains move on windy days, or some rooms feel chilly even with the heating on. Draughty homes are uncomfortable and can let out up to 30% of heat — adding unnecessary cost to your energy bill.
Comfort
Eliminating cold spots stabilises temperatures room-to-room.
Efficiency
Lower uncontrolled air leakage reduces heating demand.
Pressure testing: We use a calibrated fan to depressurise the building and trace air paths.
Smoke tracing: Harmless smoke reveals movement through cracks and bypasses.
Thermal imaging (where appropriate): Highlights temperature anomalies linked to infiltration.
We’ll survey your home, identify leaks, and propose targeted fixes to cut bills and improve comfort.
