Whole House Comfort Checkup

Here’s How A Whole House Comfort Checkup Works

A specially-trained Comfort and Indoor Air Quality Consultant will visit your home and – using advanced diagnostic instruments and testing procedures – will identify problems that affect your indoor living environment. Your consultant will then provide you with a personalized plan to solve these problems, permanently.

	Initial Consultation Your checkup starts with an initial interview with a Comfort and Indoor Air Quality Consultant. Your input provides valuable information, such as whether any rooms feel clammy when the air conditioner is running, or if any parts of the house need to be dusted more often than others. We encourage all the adults in your home to participate in this initial consultation since everyone’s perception of comfort and indoor air quality is unique.
	Equipment Inspection The inspection begins with your heating and cooling equipment. Is it efficient, dependable and safe? Your consultant will visually inspect your equipment for any signs of deterioration, improper installation, or insufficient maintenance. He or she will let you know the average life span of your type of equipment. Your consultant will also evaluate your system’s air filtration and purification efficiency, to determine if improvements would better clean your indoor air.
	Insulation Inspection Even the best heating and cooling system will have trouble keeping you comfortable or will cost more to run if you don’t have enough insulation. Your consultant will visually inspect insulation levels throughout your home and determine if they meet currently recommended levels. More importantly, he or she will look for hidden defects, such as hollow wall cavities, that allow air and heat to bypass your insulation. Attic ventilation levels will also be checked.
	Equipment size & Air Leakage Evaluation 93% of all equipment in homes is not sized or installed properly. There is only one way to accurately size residential equipment, That is with a A.C.C.A. ( Air Conditioning Contractors Association ) Manual “J” Load Calculation. This is a scientific computer generated report that provides contractors with the exact measurements of capacity and air-flow required to properly heat and cool your home. In addition this report will tell where your home is losing or gaining its heat.

Not all air leaks are created equal. From an air quality standpoint, those around your windows and doors are good leaks, since they let in fresh outdoor air. Bad leaks let in dusty, moldy or polluted air from your attic, garage, or crawl space. Leaky air ducts often bring in dirty air, and cause your heating and cooling equipment to perform well below peak efficiency. As part of the Manual “J” Load Calculation your consultant will pinpoint where your home’s worst air leaks are, and where improvements can be made.

Beware of any contractor that does not use a Manual “J” Load Calculation.   Electronic Air Flow Capture Hood Test
Do you have rooms that are hard to heat or cool? There are economical solutions. Your consultant will use an air flow capture hood to measure precisely how much conditioned air is getting to those rooms (provided the supply vents are accessible). If air flow is low, the causes will be determined, and appropriate solutions will be prescribed.   Personalized Improvement Plan
Once the inspection and testing are complete, your consultant will explain the results, and give you a prioritized plan of recommended improvements. Many – such as adding insulation or weather-stripping – can be performed by homeowners as weekend projects. Other improvements may require professionals. Upon request, your consultant will prepare a proposal for repairs your CI Member Contractor can perform, and can recommend other contractors for services they do not offer.
