 | New Prices for Minneapolis Blower Door™ and Minneapolis Duct Blaster® |
The Energy Conservatory is pleased to announce that effective Monday, March 21, 2011, we are lowering the prices of our Minneapolis Blower Door and our Minneapolis Duct Blaster. We have been able to work with our vendors to take advantage of quantity discounts to provide you with the same high quality diagnostic tools you have come to expect from The Energy Conservatory, but now at a lower price.
The new price for the standard Minneapolis Blower Door system will be $2,495. The Minneapolis Duct Blaster system will be $1,875. These prices go into effect on Monday, March 21 and are not retroactive.
The Minneapolis Blower Door system is simply the best automated testing system available. You receive the fan and speed controller, aluminum frame with carrying case and nylon door panel (our system will fit in an 8 foot doorway), tubing, manuals, accessory carrying case and DG-700 Pressure and Flow Gauge. The DG-700 has both a serial port and a USB port for connecting to a computer. The kit comes with a 16 foot USB cable and device drivers. The Minneapolis Blower Door also comes standard with TECTITE Building Software. TECTITE allows the user to perform either automated test or a manual test and create a report with results for the customer. Our rugged injection molded fan housing includes a 5 year "no questions asked" warranty.
The Minneapolis Duct Blaster is the premier duct airtightness system on the market and includes the powerful Duct Blaster fan and speed controller, flex duct for connecting to the HVAC system, tubing, carrying case and DG-700 Pressure and Flow Gauge.

 | New Webinar on Zone Pressure Diagnostics | |
The Energy Conservatory is pleased to announce the next in a series of free webinars available for everyone. "Zone Pressure Diagnostics" will provide you with some testing techniques and methods for measuring zone pressures in and around a house. The session will be lead by Paul Morin one of Technical Sales Specialists. The webinar will take place on Thursday, March 24, 2011 at 1 PM Central time. The webinar will be about an hour long. This session will attempt to take some of the mystery and confusion out of Zone Pressure Diagnostics (ZPD) measurements. Topics will include taking measurements to determine if pressure boundaries and thermal boundaries are lining up, when you should use advanced ZPD to determine how much leakage is remaining and the use of charts and programs for advanced ZPD. We will reserve the last 10 to 15 minutes for questions and answers. We hope that this webinar will help give you a better understanding of this valuable measurement procedure and be more effective in your testing. To sign up for this free webinar click here.
Other topics in the future will include Calibration and Maintenance of your Blower Door and Duct Blaster, Advanced Blower Door Techniques, Blower Door and Infrared Together and more. We would also like to hear from you about potential topics. To send a topic idea by email, click here. Please put "Webinar Ideas" in the Subject Line. Watch for future announcements by email and on our website.
