Technical Description

A home energy rater will conduct an in-depth energy performance assessment of a home using diagnostic testing equipment, such as a blower door test, a duct leakage tester, a combustion analyzer, and infrared camera to determine the amount and location of air leaks in the building envelope, the amount of leakage from HVAC distribution ducts, the effectiveness of insulation inside the walls and ceilings, and any existing or potential combustion safety issues.

Home Performance Testing
Sales Message

Home performance testing measures how well the thermal protection and comfort systems are working. What this means to you is an opportunity to identify problems contributing to unnecessarily high utility bills as well as comfort, health, and safety concerns. With homes representing the largest asset for most families, wouldn’t you agree it’s important to know how efficient they are and how to reduce the cost of ownership?
