A Comprehensive Home Assessment generally lasts three to four hours. The assessment provides homeowners with valuable information regarding the existing condition of their home and identifies areas where energy efficiency, comfort, and safety improvements can and should be made.
During the Comprehensive Home Assessment, Phoenix will complete a visual inspection of the living space, attic, and basement (or crawl space) and perform a number of tests using special diagnostic equipment. The equipment includes a blower door, which helps us measure how much air is leaking from your home and where the leaks are. Most importantly, we will perform essential health and safety tests to determine whether the major combustion appliances (furnace, boiler, hot water heater and stove) in your home are operating safely. According to BPI health and safety standards, if these tests identify any potential threats in the home, the recommended health and safety repairs must be included in any work scope you choose to implement.

You are encouraged to accompany our energy consultants as they perform the assessment. Let us know what issues or concerns, if any, you have about your home — drafts, uneven temperatures, discomfort, evidence of moisture or mold, strange smells, even physical symptoms such as persistent headaches or flu-like sysmptoms. And don't be afraid to ask questions. |

Using results from the Comprehensive Home Assessment and our sophisticated computer modeling software, Phoenix will explain and provide a written report on what improvements can be made, as well as develop a proposal detailing the recommended improvements and the associated costs.
