2. Should I get a home warranty? - AOL

   www.aol.com/finance/home-warranty-200001953.html

   The cost of a home warranty ranges from about $220 to $1,880 per year, according to HomeAdvisor. The plan can cost more if you want add-on coverage for areas like a guest house or swimming pool ...

3. Infiltration (HVAC) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiltration_(HVAC)

   Smoke candles and blower-door tests can help identify less-than-obvious leaks. The Weatherization article describes methods for energy savings further. If infiltration is reduced below 0.35 ACH, it is recommended that mechanical ventilation (typically an exhaust fan or heat recovery ventilation ) be implemented.

4. Blower door - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blower_door

   Duct leakage testing of forced air heating/cooling systems - both supply (vents) ducts and return ducts can be tested to determine if and how much they leak air. A duct test can be combined with a blower door test to measure the total leakage to outside, measuring effective leakage to the outside of the house only.

5. Ductwork airtightness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductwork_airtightness

   There are two major systems to classify ductwork airtightness, one based on European standards, the other based on ASHRAE standard 90.1-2010.Both are based on the leakage airflow rate at a given ductwork pressure divided by the product of the ductwork surface area and the same ductwork pressure raised to the power 0.65.

6. Duct leakage testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_leakage_testing

   A duct leakage tester is a diagnostic tool designed to measure the airtightness of forced air heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) ductwork. A duct leakage tester consists of a calibrated fan for measuring an air flow rate and a pressure sensing device to measure the pressure created by the fan flow.

7. Building airtightness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_airtightness

   From an energy point of view, it is almost always desirable to increase air tightness, but if infiltration is providing useful dilution of indoor contaminants, indoor air quality may suffer. [8] However, it is often unclear how useful this dilution is because building leaks cause uncontrolled airflows and potentially poorly ventilated rooms ...

8. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

   The three major functions of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning are interrelated, especially with the need to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality within reasonable installation, operation, and maintenance costs. HVAC systems can be used in both domestic and commercial environments.

9. Air changes per hour - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_changes_per_hour

   Air changes per hour is a measurement intended to communicate the air change effectiveness of a space’s ventilation system. Discussion around the ASHRAE standard 62, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality led to the development of a more direct method of measuring air change effectiveness with the use of a tracer gas.
