Mario with Stellar Building Performance came in clutch today. I was informed by the plans review department of SLC that I needed to complete a blower door test on my nearly finished new construction home. I got in touch with Mario, and he could not have been more professional. He answered all my questions and informed me he would be out the same day. He showed up on time and completed his test, explaining the process. When he finished, he issued my certificate on the spot. This was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend his services.

Owner's reply
Pher, thank you so much for the kind words and for trusting Stellar Building Performance with the blower door test on your new owner-built home in Fort Pierce. I know it can be frustrating to get this far into a new construction project and then find out that the blower door inspection shown on the permit card is actually a third-party test that has to be completed before moving forward with St. Lucie County. I’m glad you reached out that morning and that I was able to get out to your home that same afternoon, complete the testing, and have the report in your email before the end of the day. Your home turned out beautifully, and I really liked the quiet, tucked-away setting in the western Fort Pierce area near Orange Avenue. It looks like a great place to settle in and raise your family. I really appreciate the recommendation and was happy to help make one of those final building code requirements a little easier to navigate.

It was a pleasure working with you and helping make one of the final new construction requirements as straightforward as possible. I really appreciate your recommendation and the opportunity to provide blower door testing for your new residence in the Canaveral Groves area and greater Brevard County.

I cannot recommend Stellar Building Performance and the owner, Mario, enough! We purchased our 1993 home in Viera in mid-February, after having a thorough home inspection completed. When the first truly hot days of summer arrived, however, we realized our air conditioning system was struggling to keep up. An HVAC company we had used in the past told us it was not the system itself and suggested expensive work in the attic. But, before spending thousands of dollars, we wanted an unbiased opinion from someone who wasn’t trying to sell us equipment or additional services. That’s exactly what we found with Mario. He performed an incredibly thorough home energy audit that included a heat load and air leakage investigation, blower door testing with detailed notes and photos, duct leakage testing, infrared imaging, room-by-room pressure measurements, and comprehensive insulation inspections of both the walls and attic. More importantly, he took the time to explain verbally, and with a written report, what he was finding, why it mattered, and what improvements would provide the greatest benefit for our home. The report and recommendations were detailed, educational, and gave us the confidence to make informed decisions instead of simply accepting costly recommendations from contractors. What impressed me most was Mario’s integrity. He had nothing to sell us other than his expertise, which made his recommendations feel completely trustworthy. Even after the audit was finished, he continued checking in to see how things were going and what improvements we had made. That level of follow-up and genuine concern for his clients is rare today. If you’re experiencing high energy bills, uneven temperatures, an overworked HVAC system, or simply want to understand how your home is performing before investing in repairs, Stellar Building Performance is absolutely worth the very reasonable cost. Mario’s knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to helping homeowners make informed decisions exceeded every expectation.

Shana, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. I really appreciate you trusting me to evaluate your home in Viera and provide an independent home energy audit before you committed to expensive improvements. I'm glad the inclusion of blower door testing, duct leakage testing, infrared imaging, room-to-room pressure measurements, insulation inspections, and a broader heat load and air leakage investigation in my evaluation to help identify what was affecting the comfort and efficiency of your home were helpful tools to help you make informed decisions. I’m especially glad you continued reaching out while speaking with your HVAC and insulation contractors. Being able to answer questions, offer a second opinion on their recommendations, and help you understand which improvements would provide the most benefit is an important part of what I want Stellar Building Performance to provide. It was great to hear that the ductwork, air sealing, and insulation improvements made such a noticeable difference after the testing identified those areas of concern. Hearing that your electric bill dropped by about $55 even as it got hotter and we went the hottest months of the Florida summer was especially exciting. It'll be great to see the true difference in a comparable month! More importantly, I’m glad your home is performing better and that the testing gave you confidence in the improvements you chose to make. Thank you again for trusting Stellar Building Performance for your home energy audit and building performance testing in Viera and the Brevard County area. Though I hope you don't find yourself in a situation in the future to need my services again; please don't hesitate to reach out anytime!

If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would. We had the pleasure of working with Mario from Stellar Building Performances, and the name of his company truly says it all, stellar from start to finish. Mario went completely above and beyond in every aspect. His attention to detail is on another level, and his communication throughout the entire process was clear, consistent, and professional. What really stood out was his willingness to go the extra mile, he didn’t just do the job, he made sure everything was done right. He even took the time to consult with building departments across multiple counties to ensure accuracy and compliance, which is something you rarely see. That level of dedication and care is hard to find. It’s rare to come across someone who is not only knowledgeable, but genuinely committed to helping and doing things the correct way. Mario is exactly that. We highly, highly recommend Stellar Building Performance to anyone looking for quality, professionalism, and someone who truly cares about their work.

Thank you so much, Lissette. I truly appreciate your thoughtful review and the opportunity to work with you at Falls at Sheridan in West Melbourne. I was glad to help with the duct leakage test for the new duct replacement required by the West Melbourne Building Department, and to make sure everything was handled accurately and professionally from start to finish. Clear communication, attention to detail, and doing the job the right way are a big part of how I serve builders and contractors throughout West Melbourne and the surrounding Brevard County area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Energy Code Compliant Testing Explained

What is a blower door test?

A blower door test measures how much air leaks through a home’s building envelope. A calibrated fan is temporarily installed in an exterior doorway to depressurize the home, allowing us to measure air leakage and identify areas where outside air enters the structure.
Blower door testing is required for all homes by the Florida Energy Conservation Code for new residential construction for to verify the home meets required air tightness standards before final inspection.

When is duct leakage testing required?

Duct leakage testing is required for many new residential construction to verify the duct system is properly sealed and does not leak excessive air. The test is typically performed before final inspection and measures how much air escapes from the duct system.
Meeting the required leakage limits ensures the HVAC system operates efficiently and helps the home comply with Florida Energy Code requirements.

What blower door results are required in Florida?

Under the Florida Energy Conservation Code, new homes must meet specific air leakage limits measured in Air Changes per Hour at 50 Pascals (ACH50). Most new homes are required to achieve 7.0 ACH50 or less, depending on the compliance path used and credits claimed.
A blower door test verifies the home meets these limits so the builder can pass the required energy code inspection.

How long does testing take?

Most blower door and duct leakage tests take 30–60 minutes depending on the size and stage of the home. Larger homes or homes requiring both tests may take slightly longer.
Testing is quick and non-destructive, allowing builders to stay on schedule and move forward with inspections without delays.
