Infrared Scanning and "Blower Door" Analysis
Infrared scanning (thermography) is used to detect thermal defects and air leakage in building envelopes. By using infrared video and still cameras to measure surface temperatures we can determine whether or not a home is lacking insulation in areas that normally could not be detected.
Estimated Timeline: 1-3 hours
The Home Performance Assessment (HPA)
During the Home Performance Assessment we will conduct our Visual Inspection, measure building air leakage with the "Blower Door" inspection, measure duct leakage with the Duct Leakage Inspection, rate efficiency and performance of the heating and cooling equipment. We will also perform attic/crawl space and window inspections, all of which will build a comprehensive overview of the energy efficiency of your house, as well as identify the components that can be improved/replaced in order to optimize the homes energy efficiency.
Cost of Service: $250.00-$500.00 (varies based on size of house, number of systems, etc. Most houses $300.00)
Estimated Timeline: 2-3 hours
