Home Green Home offers an extensive array of diagnostic and improvement services for both existing homes and new construction.
Our Services for Existing Homes
Diagnostic
Whole House Performance Testing
• House Depressurization (Blower Door Testing)
• Thermal Imaging
• Pressure Mapping (identify unintended connections)
• Thermal Envelope Performance – Determine effectiveness of insulation and air sealing in defining and maintaining thermal boundaries.
HVAC System Performance & Safety Testing
• Combustion Efficiency Analysis
• Combustion Safety Analysis
• Duct Leakage Analysis
• Flue Inspection
• Ventilation/exhaust fan performance testing
Health & Comfort Testing
• House Durability – Identify signs of maintenance issues affecting durability including roof & drainage.
• Mold (or mold risk) identification.
• Indoor air quality assessment.
Troubleshooting & Diagnostics - In addition to comprehensive testing, we specialize in using our knowledge of building science to find problems whose solutions evade others.
• Rooms that won’t get warm or cool
• Condensation on windows (inside or out)
• Water spots on ceilings & leakage not related to roof problems
• Moisture concerns, mold or musty odors
• Energy bills that are too high
Improvements
Whole House Performance
• Air Sealing (defines thermal boundary & reduces unintended connections between conditioned & non-conditioned spaces)
• Insulation (reduces heat transfer between conditioned & non-conditioned spaces)
Attics, Walls, Basements & Crawl Spaces
HVAC System Performance & Efficiency
• Energy Efficient Air Conditioning & Heating Upgrades
• Energy Efficient hot water system upgrades
• Duct system design, repair & installation
• Duct sealing (reduces leakage of conditioned air to non-conditioned spaces improving overall efficiency & comfort).
• Pressure Balancing (helps assure even temperatures throughout the house)
• Zoned distribution installation (allows for separate control over temperature of different sections of the house).
Health & Comfort
• Whole house air filtration systems
• Duct cleaning
• Bathroom & kitchen ventilation repair & installation
Energy Efficiency Upgrades
• Energy efficient lighting upgrades
• Pipe insulation
• Window upgrades/installation
• Day-lighting (solar tubes & skylights to reduce use of electrical lighting).
• Attic Ventilation
