To maximize the comfort and energy efficiency of your home, taking a "whole home" approach is essential. This means understanding the interactions between you, your home, and the things in your home that use energy. As home performance experts, we can see the complex ways your home functions as a complete system and can accurately identify the most effective upgrades to improve your home’s comfort and efficiency.

Having an extensive whole home diagnostic assessment performed is important in identifying the source of any inefficiencies. For example, understanding the way your heating and cooling systems work with your doors, windows and exterior walls will help pinpoint the source of any drafts without doing expensive and unnecessary installations and services.

During our Whole House Diagnostic appointments, our expert building analyst will visit your home and using advanced diagnostic testing procedures; they will identify problems that affect your Iowa home’s indoor air quality and efficiency. We will provide you with a report of the diagnostic results and a personalized recommendation plan of the most effective actions to take that works for your home’s needs and your family’s budget.

     It was recommended that I upgrade my HVAC to GEO by a heating company. I had Rob come in and check my house, he is very professional and knolagable. He ran a complete series of tests, showed me with thermo pictures and real numbers how I could insulate better, upgrade my HVAC without going to the expense of GEO and save more money. Well worth it.

     As the owner of a 100 year old home, I sometimes wonder where I should start in making my home more comfortable.  Rob came in and went through all of my utility bills, measured every window, checked the efficiency of my boiler and hot water heater, did a blower door test and walked through the house with an infrared camera and showed me where I need insulation, where the air infiltration is coming from.  A day later, he gave me a very comprehensive report that showed me the steps I can take...
