DET TESTING
Metro Garage Door is certified to perform DET Verification Testing on new construction residential homes. This testing includes a “Blower Door Test” to determine the tightness of the conditioned portion of the home. It also includes a ’Duct Blast Test” which determines the air leakage within the HVAC, ducts and vents.
Typically, when a DET test is being done, it is advisable for a contractor have an individual present that can address any issues that may arise that result in the inability to verify a home. Should a home not pass the test while the verifier is present, it will require a second test in order to obtain verification.
