Sustainable Home Improvements & Energy Loss Defense
Our Services
Energy Audits
We assess your home’s efficiency and provide simple, effective ways to reduce energy bills and improve comfort.
Blower Door Testing
A blower door test identifies air leaks in a home by using a fan to depressurize it, highlighting areas that need sealing for better energy efficiency.
Air Shielding
Air shielding eliminates drafts and prevents energy loss by sealing gaps and cracks in your home’s structure.
“Houses can lose up to 30% of their heating and cooling energy as a result of poor air sealing and insulation”
— Department of Energy
Your attic floor is filled with numerous small openings caused by recessed lighting, wall framing, plumbing, and wiring. Altogether, these gaps can have the same effect as leaving a window open in your home throughout the entire year.
Air sealing your home acts as a shield, blocking out harmful pollutants and allergens while keeping your indoor environment clean, healthy, and protected.
Advanced Energy Audit
— Features
- Visual Inspection: A thorough walkthrough of your home to identify visible energy inefficiencies, including gaps, cracks, and insulation issues.
- Window and Door Assessment: Evaluation of windows and doors for drafts, improper seals, and potential heat loss.
- Attic Review: Inspection of common areas for energy loss, such as the attic, to identify visible insulation gaps or leaks.
- HVAC System Overview: A visual check of your heating and cooling systems for obvious inefficiencies or signs of wear.
- Lighting Evaluation: Assessment of lighting types and usage patterns to identify opportunities for energy-saving upgrades.
- Blower Door Test: A pressurized test to measure your home’s airtightness, identifying hidden air leaks that contribute to energy loss.
- Thermal Imaging Scan: Use of infrared cameras to detect areas of heat loss, missing insulation, and thermal bridging throughout your home.
- Air Quality Assessment: Measurement of indoor air quality, including detection of pollutants like VOCs, humidity levels, and overall ventilation efficiency, to ensure a healthier living environment.
- Detailed Report and Recommendations: A comprehensive report combining visual findings, blower door results, and thermal imaging data, with tailored recommendations for improving energy efficiency.
- Prioritized Action Plan: A step-by-step guide on which improvements to tackle first for the greatest energy savings and comfort.
