Energy Audits & DIagnostic SErvices
It’s important to start any home upgrade with an energy audit—especially when you’re making improvements for efficiency. This allows our team to gain valuable insight into your home’s current performance and make accurate recommendations that will have the longest lasting and most reliable results. We offer a range of diagnostic services as well as Home Energy Audits.
This test allows us to find where air leakage is occurring throughout your home, and usually takes about 1-2 hours to complete.
Using a thermal imaging infrared camera, we can discover the effectiveness of your home’s insulation and thermal envelope.
This test allows our team to determine exactly where your home’s energy is being used so that you can find ways to conserve and save on your energy bills.
From testing your HVAC system for efficiency to your duct system for leaks that could be causing energy waste, we can help make sure every aspect of your heating & cooling system is running properly.
Not only do we test how well your water heater is performing, but we’ll test all the pipes leading to each faucet as well.
Home performance contracting includes looking at everything from lighting to insulation, from the furnace in your garage to the air sealing in your attic, to solve everything from moisture problems, comfort issues, to energy waste and beyond.
We design every HVAC system we install, selecting each component based on performance and engineering grills, registers, and ductwork.
We provide solutions for crawl spaces of any size, keeping the area dry and clean while ensuring improved indoor air quality for your entire home.
If you’re looking to upgrade your home’s durability and zero out your net energy consumption, our extensive building science expertise can help get you there.
