A minimum of 4 hours should be allowed to carry out a test. It would take approximately 1-2 hours to temporarily seal services and set up the air tightness test equipment. If the air test runs smoothly, a maximum of 30 minutes is required; but it’s best to allow 1 hour. It takes approximately 1 hour to de-rig every thing. However, if an air test fails and multiple tests are carried out or the fan is left running to search for drafts and air leakage paths, then the air test can run on.
