  • A list of improvements that were made
  • Suggestions to further increase the efficiency of your home

Duct Sealing

Duct leakage into your attic or crawlspace is more common than you might think. Small gaps in your ducts connections, as well as holes or more severe issues could be siphoning conditioned air out of your home. This leads to higher utility bills and uncomfortable rooms. Duct sealing helps keep more of that comfortable air inside your home.

Air Sealing

Sometimes seemingly insignificant cracks, holes and gaps in your home could add up to the size of a window, one that stays open year-round! An experienced technician knows where to look for these issues and will reduce the amount of air leaking in and out of the home.

A/C Cleaning

A dirty cooling system can struggle to move air and cool your home. A technician will clean the accessible components of your unit to improve its function.

Water Heater Adjustments:

  • Check and adjust temperature
  • Insulate pipes

Attic Insulation Adjustments:

  • Fill in spots with extremely low insulation levels
