Thermal Imaging — We measure energy efficiency.
We use top-of-the-line thermal imaging cameras to identify missing insulation that manifests itself in the view of our cameras as either hot or cold spots on walls and ceilings.
Our home energy audit will save you money lower your electricity bill.
Once you have the completed home energy assessment, we recommend a plan for addressing weak spots and ensuring your home has the energy efficiency it needs.
Blower Door Tests – We assess air leaks.
Blower door tests involve the depressurization of your home to measure the rate in which air passes through imperfections of the structure of the building.
Through this method, we can improve the efficiency and comfort of your home.
As part of the home energy assessment, we can find locations of leaking air/drafts, AC/heating system efficiency, poor or missing insulation, and or problematic areas of your duct and ventilation system.

The goal of our residential home energy assessment is to keep you safe and comfortable and to keep your home running efficiently.
Therefore, we utilize special tools to find gas leaks and test combustion appliances for safety.
Whole Home Assessment – We investigate.
Learn about your home and discover how much you could be saving.
We investigate six major areas to reveal more about your home and to discover how much you could be saving. These areas include walls, windows & doors, attics, rim & band joists mechanical systems, and indoor air quality.
When we begin any home energy assessment, our goal is to gather as much information as we can from you and then from your home. We use professional tools to test for air leakage and infrared cameras to see areas of the home that lose energy.
