Referral to this company was made by Building Performance Services who conducted a complete Home Performance Evaluation. Tyler Lewis of Energy Beyond Designand his partner interviewed us, reviewed the evaluation and then conducted an assessment for pre and post testing. They were extremely informative and thoroughly answered all of our questions. They assisted us in determining how much work we should have done in this round and what to leave for further consideration. They included additional issues that we had with the house in their proposal. Tyler found other problems during the job itself and repaired them with no additional charge. He was available by cell phone for any new questions and introduced us to the insulation installer as well as the A/C expert for the dual temp control. He spent at least two hours with us for the first part of the job with pictures of areas needing improvement, and over an hour for the review of work done. He then sent a thorough description of all work done on a pdf file with pictures of the work. We left the home for a two week vacation while they did the work; the house was immaculate when we returned. I have been in this home for over 30 years and have never had it maintain the interior temperature against the exterior heat or cold so well. It is a job long over due and well done! I also have never had such a positive experience in having work done in my house which includes two remodels of kitchen, a re-build of a large deck, and remodel of master bath.
Description of Work: A Home Performance assessment was conducted and the company did work that would improve energy efficiency and comfort. During a 6 full day work period, after the assessment, the company did air sealing in all areas around windows, doors, ceilings, light fixtures, framing members and exterior penetrations; sealing improvement was re-tested by using a blower door. The new heating and cooling system was re-calibrated by installing a dual temperature control with dampers in the duct system for upstairs and downstairs to more evenly cool and warm the respective areas. Two new exhaust fans were installed in bathroom and laundry room for better ventilation. Old insulation in attic was cleaned out and replaced. Crawl space was cleared of raccoon and rodent infestation, vents replaced and a vapor barrier installed and sub floor penetrations sealed including electrical, plumbing, water and waster pipes. Dryer vent was cleaned for better performance, a squeak repaired in living room floor, and an outdoor drain pipe secured. The company then did a post test which showed the following improvements: Blower Door Test: Leakage reduction: 47% and Duct Test: Leakage reduction: 61% total reduction, 76% outside leakage reduction
