What We Do

A Complete Audit.
Not a Checklist.

We use professional diagnostic equipment to test your home as a system. Every component affects the others — we find exactly where things break down and what to do about it.

01

Blower Door Test

A blower door test is the gold standard for measuring air leakage in a home. We mount a calibrated fan in your front door, depressurize the house to a standard pressure, and measure total airflow. The result is a CFM50 reading — a precise measurement of how much air your home exchanges with the outside every hour.

Run alongside our thermal camera, this test doesn't just tell you how much is leaking — it shows you exactly where.

Identifies draft sources and infiltration points
Required for MiHER program pre & post testing
Required for new construction code compliance in Michigan
Paired with thermal imaging to pinpoint locations

02

Duct Blaster Test

Your duct system can leak 20–30% or more of the conditioned air it moves before it ever reaches a room — into attics, crawl spaces, and wall cavities. A duct blaster test pressurizes your duct system and measures those losses precisely.

We report both total leakage and leakage to the outside. Leakage to outside is the number that tells you how much conditioned air you're paying to heat or cool that never gets to where you need it.

Combustion Appliance Zone (CAZ) Testing

CAZ testing checks whether your combustion appliances — furnaces, boilers, water heaters, fireplaces — are operating safely under real-world conditions. This is one of the most important health and safety tests we perform, and one that's easily missed.

Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless. Many homes with backdrafting appliances have no idea. A CAZ test is the only way to know.

CO is colorless and odorless. Testing is the only way to know your appliances are venting safely.
04

Thermal Imaging

Infrared cameras detect heat — and where heat is moving in ways it shouldn't. When used alongside the blower door, thermal imaging reveals what's happening inside your walls without opening them up.

Photos from our thermal camera go directly into your audit report so you can see exactly what we found and where.

Missing or settled insulation in walls, ceilings, and floors
Air bypasses around electrical boxes and plumbing penetrations
Moisture intrusion and condensation problems
Cold spots and drafts causing comfort complaints

Appliance & Equipment Assessment

Your furnace, A/C, water heater, and major appliances all have rated efficiencies and expected lifespans. We document all of them — age, model, condition, and efficiency rating — and factor that into your overall energy picture.

An aging, inefficient furnace can negate the benefits of excellent insulation. We tell you what's worth keeping and what's approaching the end of its useful life.

Your Audit Report

Every audit includes a written report that documents our findings in plain language. We're not writing for engineers — we're writing for homeowners and the contractors who work with them.

For program work (MiHER, Homes, weatherization), reports are formatted to meet program documentation requirements.

Prioritized improvement recommendations
Estimated energy savings per measure
Applicable rebates and incentive programs
Blower door, duct blaster, and CAZ readings

How It Works

From Booking to Report.

1
Schedule

Call, email, or fill out our form. We confirm your service area, discuss your situation, and get you on the calendar — usually within the week.

2
Audit Day

Our certified technician arrives and runs all diagnostic tests — blower door, duct blaster, CAZ, thermal imaging. Plan for 2–3 hours.

3
Walkthrough

Before we leave, we walk you through what we found — including a thermal imaging tour of your home. Your questions answered on the spot.

4
Your Report

You receive a written report with findings, prioritized recommendations, estimated savings, and applicable rebates. From there, the decisions are yours.
