Our In-home Comprehensive Energy Assessments is a Full Energy Audit with rigorous testing using state-of-the-art equipment and ending with a computer analysis and our recommendation of exact measures needed to increase your homes energy efficiency.
First, we address any comfort and any health issues you may have. We search your home for safety issues, and seek ways to increase your home value and energy efficiency. We begin by thoroughly exploring your needs and wishes, as well as your house’s structure and systems. We will do this over the phone with you and in person at your house. We will use a variety of tools that measure the draftiness, insulation, electricity, fossil fuel use, and other factors that influence the performance of the house.
Using a whole-house approach, we determine which repairs, upgrades, and replacements produce the best combination of comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency. We rely on our extensive hands-on experience across our network of cities, and specific home performance training.

Customized Energy Reports We will present you with a report that describes your home in its existing state, and a retrofit plan listing the recommended improvements and their associated costs. The plan is prioritized to address health and safety first, and then whatever is necessary for your comfort; every item will improve your efficiency. Many of these recommendations can be done by our company.
Every home is unique, and specific improvement options are different for each client. Because our service follows a performance-based approach, is not wedded to a particular technology, and can offer retrofit solutions that span the range of available products and techniques. Our process allows you to choose the optimal plan, based on your wants, schedule, and budget. We provide information about applicable government and utility incentives and financing.
With our integrated approach, there is a smooth transition between the analysis and retrofit work. We will accomplish the specific requirements in your plan on time and on budget. Typical retrofit work includes air sealing of the building envelope, sealing and recommended upgrades of air handling and electrical equipment, and—where appropriate—targeted insulation and window improvements. Less commonly, upgrades include replacement of major mechanical systems (such as furnaces and hot water heaters) or windows and doors.
