Services
Energy Assessment Audit
Our energy assessment identifies opportunities to improve home comfort and reduce utility costs through comprehensive diagnostics. Using blower door testing and thermal imaging, we analyze building envelope performance, HVAC efficiency, and insulation effectiveness. Clients receive detailed reports with prioritized recommendations for air sealing, insulation upgrades, and system optimization tailored to coastal climate challenges.
Infrared Thermography
Advanced infrared scanning detects hidden moisture, air leaks, and thermal inefficiencies invisible to the naked eye. Our Level II certified thermographers use specialized equipment to identify roof leaks, wall condensation, and electrical hotspots. This non-invasive technology enables precise problem diagnosis without destructive testing, saving time and repair costs while preventing mold growth and structural damage.
Blower Door Testing
We measure building air leakage using calibrated blower door equipment to meet modern energy code requirements. This test quantifies air changes per hour (ACH) and identifies specific leak locations through pressure diagnostics. Results guide targeted air sealing improvements that enhance energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and HVAC system performance while ensuring compliance with 2015 IECC standards.
Duct Pressure Testing
Our duct blaster testing quantifies HVAC system air loss and identifies leakage points in supply and return ducts. By pressurizing the system, we measure leakage rates against building code requirements (4% or less of zone area) and recommend repairs to improve efficiency. This service prevents conditioned air loss, reduces energy bills, and enhances indoor comfort through optimized air distribution.
Humidity Inspection
Specialized diagnostics identify sources of excess humidity causing condensation and duct sweating in coastal climates. We combine pressure testing and thermal imaging to locate air intrusion points driving moisture issues. Our solutions address pressure imbalances and envelope deficiencies to prevent water damage, mold growth, and structural deterioration while improving HVAC system effectiveness.
