Services
Energy Audits
Our comprehensive energy audits use thermal imaging and blower door tests to identify efficiency losses. This service helps homeowners understand where their property loses energy and money. Our diagnostics lead to customized retrofit recommendations that typically reduce utility costs by 15-25% while improving comfort.
HERS Ratings
HERS ratings provide standardized energy performance scores for new construction. Builders use these ratings to meet code requirements and market energy efficiency. Our certified raters generate RESNET-compliant reports that help qualify homes for energy incentives and improve resale value through documented efficiency metrics.
Energy Code Compliance
We verify residential construction meets Alabama's energy code requirements through field inspections and documentation review. This service ensures builder compliance with state-mandated efficiency standards while identifying cost-effective solutions for code gaps. Our third-party verification process streamlines permitting and reduces rework through early issue detection.
Home Diagnostics
Our diagnostic suite includes duct leakage testing, combustion safety analysis, and ventilation assessments. These tests ensure safe, efficient operation of heating and cooling systems while identifying health risks. We provide actionable reports that prioritize repairs based on energy impact and occupant safety considerations.
Performance Audits
Performance audits evaluate a home's overall energy systems and envelope performance. We combine physical testing with utility history analysis to create prioritized improvement plans. This service helps homeowners make informed investment decisions that maximize comfort improvements and energy savings returns.
