A specially trained and certified technician will conduct a Comprehensive Home Assessment, which consists of the technician taking inventory of, and reporting on the current conditions in your home, including the following:
- Health and safety check (carbon monoxide levels, moisture, and indoor air quality problems)
- Overall comfort level (cold/hot spots, indoor air quality stuffiness/stale odors)
- Air infiltration rates
- Insulation levels
- Heating system efficiency
- Cooling system/central air conditioning efficiency, if applicable
- Domestic hot water system efficiency
- Major appliances
- Lighting
Certified technicians use a number of diagnostic tools during your Comprehensive Home Assessment. Some of the tools the they will use are:
- Blower Door Test: measures the air tightness of a home and aids in identifying areas where air leakage is occurring
- Duct Blaster Test: measures the amount of air leakage in the air conditioning duct system.
- Thermal Imaging Camera: provides thermal photographic evidence of potential trouble spots hidden within the walls of your home.
