Building Tightness Test (Blower Door)
A Blower Door Test determines the air infiltration rate of air entering or leaving the building. There are several reasons for establishing the proper building tightness. An appropriately sealed
home will:
A Duct Efficiency Test is performed utilizing a Duct Blower. This device can accurately measure
the tightness of the duct system. Duct leakage is directly related to energy waste. The EPA states
"Typical duct systems loose 25% to 40% of the heating and cooling energy put out by the central
furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner". With the knowledge we have today, a properly sealed
duct system should have no more than 10% leakage.

- Reduce energy consumption due to air leakage
- Diminish potential condensation problems
- Increase comfort by reducing drafts and eliminating air leaking out of your home

Weatherization
Our weatherization services includes but is not limited to:
Our weatherization services includes but is not limited to:
- Installing door weather-stripping, door sweeps, or door thresholds
- Caulking windows
- Sealing plumbing penetrations
- Minor sheet-rock patch work
- Blower door testing before and after our work to show you the reduction of air loss in your home
Duct Sealing
The Department of Energy estimates most homes have 30-40% duct leakage. This means more than a quarter of your cooled or
heated air is not reaching your living space. This translates to money wasted on heating and cooling air not used in your home. Our duct service will reduce
energy loss and save you money. Our duct service includes:
- Reconnecting and sealing disconnected duct lines
- Sealing the return(s)
- Sealing the plenum
- Sealing around leaky air vents
- Duct testing before and after the service to verify air loss reduction in duct system.
Insulation
Proper insulation is key to keeping your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Adding insulation in your attic is an effective way to cut your heating and cooling bills.
In fact, if your attic is not insulated, insulating it to R-30, depending on the climate zone, could save you
as much as 20% to 30% percent on your heating and cooling costs.

Compact Fluorescent Bulb Installation
Using compact fluorescent bulbs can make it possible to have the same light as incandescent bulbs but at one-third the cost. Compact fluorescents
cost more, but they save enough energy to pay for themselves many times over the period of their life expectancy. We carry all types of compact fluorescent bulbs
and wattages including but not limited to:
- Dimmable
- Three Way
- Outdoor flood
- Recessed lighting
- Small-based cfls (for candelabras)
Water Saving Measures
A low flow showerhead typically flows at 2.0 gallons per minute, where a non low flow shower
head flows on an average of 4 to 8 gallons per minute. Replacing your showerhead to a
low flow showerhead will use less hot water, which lowers your electric bill,
due to the fact your water heater runs less. You will also use less water which lowers your water bill.
