Home Energy Assessment

A home energy assessment is free for NYC homeowners who upgrade HVAC or insulation through us, or $350 standalone, credited toward later work. Over 2 to 3 hours we run blower door testing, thermal imaging, and duct pressure testing across the full building envelope, then deliver a written report ranking every recommended upgrade by payback period.

We use blower door testing to measure your home's air infiltration rate against the industry standard of 0.35 air changes per hour. Thermal imaging identifies hidden gaps in insulation — areas where walls look fine on the surface but have missing or settled insulation behind them. Duct pressure testing reveals leakage in your ductwork that wastes 20–30% of conditioned air in typical NYC homes. Every finding is documented with photos, measurements, and a priority-ranked recommendation list.

The assessment takes 2–3 hours for a typical NYC home. You receive a written report with estimated costs, projected savings, payback periods, and rebate eligibility for each recommended upgrade. We rank improvements by ROI — the fastest-paying upgrades first — so you can phase your spending over time and see immediate results. The report also serves as documentation for rebate applications, contractor bids, and co-op board approvals.
