Stop Guessing. Start Testing.
Problems we solve
High bills, and nobody can tell you why.
Energy leaves a house through a small number of paths. Testing them takes a few hours and turns a guess into a list.
Sound familiar?
A bill is a symptom. It doesn’t say where the money went.
Most houses lose energy in a handful of places, and they’re usually not the places people spend money on first. New windows get bought while an open attic chase moves more air than the windows ever did.
The point of testing is to put the spending in the right order. Sometimes that means we tell you the cheap fix is the one worth doing, and the expensive one can wait.
What people tell us
- Bills are higher than in similar houses on your street
- They’ve climbed without anyone changing how they live
- The system runs almost constantly in summer or winter
- You added insulation or new windows and the bill didn’t move
- One season is brutal and the other is fine
- You’ve had people out, and each one pointed at something different
You don’t have to have all of these. One is enough to be worth testing.
What usually causes it
Where the money usually goes
These are the causes we find most often. Our testing reveals what those causes are.
-
Air leakage you can’t see or feel
open chases, dropped soffits and attic penetrations move far more air than the drafty window you notice.
-
Ducts losing air outside the living space
means you’re paying to heat and cool an attic or a crawlspace.
-
Equipment that can’t perform as designed
runs longer for the same result, whatever its efficiency rating says on the label.

How we find it
We test to find where the energy is going.
We choose the tests based on your house and what it’s doing. Not every house needs every test.
-
Blower door testing
Puts a number on the total air leakage and shows us where the big holes actually are.
-
Pressure pan readings
Show which duct runs are leaking to an attic, crawlspace or other unconditioned area — the air you paid to heat and cool.
-
Thermal imaging
Finds missing, thin or bypassed insulation, which a visual inspection from the attic hatch will not.
-
HVAC performance testing
Airflow and static pressure, to see whether the equipment can do what it was sold as doing.
What you get
An answer you can act on.
One to three days after the visit you get a video Home Performance Report — a walkthrough of your own house showing what we tested, what it means, and what we’d do about it, in the order we’d do it.
In your report folder
- Video Home Performance Report
- Every photo and video from the inspection
- Thermal images
- Your test results
- Prioritized recommendations
- Product links
- Local contractors we trust
Then it’s your call. Do it yourself, hand the report to your own contractor, or have us manage the work. See what an inspection covers.
