Home Performance with Energy Star™ Comprehensive Home Assessment

The comprehensive home assessment package is recommended for most homeowners.  This includes a visual walkthrough of your home, a blower door test, a combustion efficiency test of your boiler or furnace as well as hot water heater, and a basic computer analysis of your home's performance based on all the data we collect.  Included also is a written report outlining recommended improvements with projected savings.  If you choose to follow through with those recommendations and have the work performed by an accredited contractor, you may be eligible for low interest financing or even cash back incentives.

Includes:

• Thermal Imaging Walkthrough (in conjunction with Blower Door Test)
• Blower Door Test:  this is one of the most important tests a homeowner can conduct on his or her home when trying to find ways to reduce energy consumption.  Heat flows out of the home (primarily) in two ways: 1) conduction through the walls and windows, and 2) convection via air infiltration / exfiltration (i.e. air leakage).  In many homes, air leakage can account for the bulk of its heat loss, and in most cases, these problems can be quite easily repaired.  This test helps trace the source of the air leaks in your home so that the work scope for air sealing may be determined.
  
• Heating / Cooling System Efficiency Tests: We analyze the current combustion and distribution efficiencies of your appliances in order to determine whether modification or replacement is cost effective.
• Computer Modeling of your Home using TREAT: using TREAT, we can assess the current performance of your home to determine the effects of the core problems in the thermal and pressure boundaries, as well as project the annual savings of possible solutions.
• Written Report:  Included with this assessment is a comprehensive written report providing you with all the data you need to decide on the next course of action.  Also included is the output from the TREAT simulation, as well as summary descriptions of our recommendations with the contact information of reliable contractors in the area. 
• Optional Duct Blaster Test:  if you have older ductwork located primarily in an accessible area such as a basement or attic, you may want to consider having a Duct Blaster Test done in conjuntion with the Blower Door Test.  The Duct Blaster works by pressurizing the ductwork while the Blower Door runs in reverse to pressurize the home in order to determine how much of your heated or chilled air is escaping to the outdoor environment before it even reaches the conditioned space.  We can then quantify savings based on the data we collect to determine whether or not you should spend money repairing or replacing sections of the ductwork.
