Comprehensive Home Diagnostics
We examine the entire building system, from attic to foundation, assessing insulation, air leakage, ducts, windows, and moisture patterns, then synthesize findings into a simple roadmap that balances cost, comfort, durability, and indoor air quality for reliable, lasting performance gains.
-
We evaluate insulation levels, thermal bridging at framing members, and air bypasses at top and bottom plates. Foundation interfaces and knee walls often reveal overlooked leakage and conductive losses, and our recommendations target these junctions for outsized gains in comfort and energy performance.
-
Leaky ducts waste energy and undermine comfort. We assess supply and return pathways, pressure imbalances, and register performance to locate losses inside attics, crawlspaces, and chases, guiding sealing and balancing steps that improve delivery temperatures, reduce runtimes, and stabilize rooms across seasons.
-
Using infrared and pressure-assisted diagnostics, we identify leaky door thresholds, sash gaps, and weak weatherstripping. Recommendations focus on sealing, selective storm panels, and targeted replacements only where payback justifies capital cost, ensuring smart spending rather than wholesale upgrades with marginal returns.
Personalized Upgrade Roadmap
Your home receives a custom action plan with ranked recommendations, expected savings, estimated costs, and timelines, helping you execute improvements in sensible stages without sacrificing safety, ventilation, or durability as you move from quick wins to deeper energy retrofits.
Fast Results and Measurable Outcomes
We focus on solutions that deliver immediate comfort and bill reductions, verify results with follow-up testing when needed, and track before and after data, so you can see measurable improvement rather than relying on estimates or marketing claims alone.
Targeted Air Sealing Plan
Using blower door guidance and thermal imaging, we create a prioritized sealing list for top plates, can lights, attic hatches, and rim joists. Addressing these leakage pathways first often yields substantial improvements without expensive renovations or equipment replacements that provide slower returns.
Insulation Strategy by Zone
We specify R-values and materials by location, considering moisture risks, ventilation needs, and access limitations. The strategy may combine blown cellulose, dense-pack, and rigid foam to balance cost, durability, and thermal performance with minimal disruption to finishes or household routines.
