Energy Ratings

A home is the biggest single purchase that most people will make.

It is the place you come home to after a hard day's work, it is the place your family sleeps, and it is the cornerstone of ... Just like anything else in life it may have its quirks: a leaky window, zones of varying temperatures, some malodors, a dank feel or energy bills that rival mortgage payments. There is no reason that your home should be uncomfortable, after all it is your abode.

Whatever the problem may be we can help. An energy rating reaches beyond looking at how much energy one's home uses. It views the house as many different systems that work in unison to provide you, the homeowner, with the comfort you expect. For instance a drafty room can affect how hard your HVAC system has to work to keep the house cool, it can create pressure differentials that can lead to moisture intrusion, the back drafting of combustion appliances and even the drawing in of dangerous gasses from places like the garage. If one component of the home fails, it will diminish the efficiency of the other components of the home and inevitably affect the comfort of the home's occupants while driving the energy costs up.

A energy efficiency rating will pinpoint the weak spots of the home. The diagnostic procedures that we will perform will help us locate hidden leaks, determine critical improvements, determine future improvements, and prioritize by cost effectiveness. By improving the overall efficiency of the home you can qualify for up to 13,000 in federal and state .
