Short answer
Okanagan AeroBarrier is an air sealing contractor, not an energy advisor. I seal Part 9 homes and multi-unit builds to the ACH50 target you or the designer set, measuring live during the seal, and I hand back an Airtightness Verification Report. I do not do EnerGuide ratings, energy modelling, Step Code compliance testing or standalone blower-door testing. Your test is the compliance number.
What I do, and what I do not
| Okanagan AeroBarrier | Your energy advisor | |
|---|---|---|
| Energy modelling and EnerGuide | No | Yes |
| Mid-construction and final compliance tests | No | Yes |
| Standalone blower-door testing for hire | No | Yes |
| Aerosol envelope sealing to a target | Yes | No |
| Readings during the seal, documented | Yes, as a seal record | Your test is the official one |
How a referral works
- Your client misses, or you can see from the mid-construction test that they will.
- They call me, or you introduce us. The test result (ACH50, CFM50, volume, target) is all I need to start.
- I check the stage and flag any large holes that need hand sealing first.
- I seal to the target and send the builder my report.
- You retest. Your number goes on the file.
If your test turns up a failure, I would rather hear it from you directly. It means the builder hears a plan instead of just a number.
Booking the seal around your test
The best time to seal is after insulation and before drywall, which lines up with the mid-construction test on most builds. Testing before the seal gives the builder a baseline; testing after gives you a clean result for the file. Drywall up still works; finished floors, cabinets and trim close the window.
