Whole Home Performance Assessment
Similar in concept to an energy audit, a whole home performance assessment is the best way to learn how your home’s performance and livability can be improved.
Any home improvement project can impact your home's energy consumption, livability, comfort, or safety.
Choosing to have a Home Performance Assessment performed prior to building, remodeling, or purchasing a home will have immediate positive impacts on your budget by empowering you to make informed choices.
