What is the Green Home Energy Upgrade?

Many contractors fix only the problems they think are most obvious. If a homeowner complains of uncomfortably hot temperatures, an HVAC contractor might recommend upgrading to a larger air conditioner. If a house gets too cold during the winter, a contractor might recommend installing a larger furnace.

However, these quick-fix solutions aren’t likely to solve your basic comfort issues, nor will they improve energy efficiency. Such temperature extremes are typically symptoms of underlying problems, such as leaky ducts or inadequate insulation, which cause your entire house to under-perform.

Instead of offering a quick-fix, the Green Home Energy Upgrade uses a comprehensive whole-house approach to identifying and fixing comfort and energy efficiency problems in your home. Our contractors employ building science principles and use sophisticated diagnostic equipment to detect the cause of home performance related problems. This systematic approach removes all the usual guesswork involved with contracting and enables our contractors to quickly and accurately address your home’s performance issues.
