New Construction
The value of your HVAC & duct system rely on the quality of the installation. Also you can't forget about the building envelope, the insulation, roof system, and every other system of the home. In every new build, future homeowners and investors have a due diligence to verify their home's performance. Most builders and subcontractors are not looking to hide an issue and leave it to the property occupants to figure it out, they just don't have craftmanship and Building Science knowledge. However some are intentionally practicing deceptively. Either way 3rd party Quality Evaluation & Testing is a test drive of your home before you move in and your 11 month inspection is up.
Testing Contractors In And Out
Existing Homes
Homeowners can utilize our Performance Audits to gain knowledge of their home as a system in existing homes. Prioritizing major component replacement is a decision for the homeowner. Creating a plan to keep systems functioning together is a big deal. Giving your home a physical with a Performance Audit may help discover that replacing the HVAC has no value because the building envelope is very leaky and the insulation has no r-value. So expecting a new $15,000 upsized HVAC to do the job only creates a worse issue and only benefits the company in meeting their financial goals. Also, we can take a deep dive to discover if that leak in the HVAC system is a sales pitch by the company pushing to meet a sales quota. "Our Dog In The Fight Is To Help YOU Get It RIght"
