HOW WE CURE YOUR SYMPTOMS
First, we need to diagnose the issues with your home. It all starts with a conversation where we learn more about what it’s like to live in your house and the problems you’d like to fix.
To properly and accurately identify the cause of your problems, we need to conduct a home energy audit. This audit involves both a visual inspection of your home as well as testing using advanced building science equipment. As a result of our audit process, you’ll better understand why your home is uncomfortable or expensive to heat and cool, and what services we recommend to solve the problem.
We offer a wide range of home improvement services that can make your home a more comfortable, healthy, safe, and energy efficient place to live. These can include:
Insulation and air sealing upgrades
Duct sealing
Soundproofing services
New window and doors
High efficiency heating and cooling system installation (including heat pumps)

Looking for Duct Sealing? Did you know...
There is a substantial amount of energy loss when your HVAC system works overtime to make up for leaks and gaps in your ductwork. In addition to increased energy bills, the unnecessary strain on your system can significantly shorten its lifespan or lead to costly repairs. Air duct leaks can also create indoor air quality issues by allowing dust, allergens, and other pollutants easy access to the air circulating through your home. Having properly sealed ducts keeps these pollutants out of the air you breathe and balances temperatures, leaving your home feeling more comfortable.
HEAR WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY
I knew I had problems with the HVAC in my condo when I had high energy bills and a lot of humidity. Home Energy Medics was recommended by Dominion Energy and had high reviews so I gave them a call. They recommended that I insulate the ducts in my condo.
