Home Performance Assessment

Understand how your whole home uses energy.

A full home energy assessment looks at insulation, air sealing, HVAC efficiency, ductwork, and ventilation together—then gives you a clear written explanation of what we found and which improvements may make the biggest difference.

What Is Included

We look at the home as one connected system

Your comfort and energy use depend on more than one piece of equipment. We evaluate the areas that work together to affect drafts, room temperatures, indoor air quality, and utility costs.

Comfort & Energy-Use Review

We discuss high bills, drafts, uncomfortable rooms, moisture concerns, equipment problems, and improvements you may already be considering.

Insulation

We check accessible insulation levels and look for missing, damaged, or uneven areas that may allow unwanted heat loss or heat gain.

Air Sealing

We look for common air-leakage areas around attic openings, penetrations, doors, windows, crawlspaces, and other accessible locations.

Heating & Cooling

We review the condition, efficiency, age, sizing, and general operation of the home’s furnace, air conditioner, heat pump, or ductless system.

Ductwork

Where accessible, we inspect for visible leakage, damage, weak connections, missing insulation, or airflow concerns.

Ventilation & Indoor Air

We review fresh-air, moisture, exhaust, filtration, and humidity conditions that may affect comfort and indoor air quality.

Why Get Assessed

Find the cause before choosing the upgrade

Replacing HVAC equipment without understanding the rest of the home can leave drafts, uneven rooms, and high energy use unresolved. An assessment helps you prioritize improvements instead of trying to fix everything at once.

Some recommended upgrades may qualify for Energy Trust of Oregon incentives, Energy Friendly Homes program support, or other available efficiency programs. Eligibility depends on the home, utility provider, equipment, technical requirements, and current program availability.

We help identify opportunities worth exploring, but we never promise an incentive until the applicable requirements have been confirmed.

Assessment FAQ

Clear answers before you schedule

How long does a home performance assessment take?

Plan for a few hours in most cases. The exact appointment length depends on the home’s size, age, accessibility, equipment, and testing required. We explain the expected scope before scheduling.

How much does the assessment cost?

Pricing depends on the home and assessment scope. We explain what is included and confirm the price before the appointment—no surprise charges or pressure to purchase additional work.

Does the assessment qualify me for rebates?

The assessment does not automatically guarantee a rebate. It may identify insulation, air-sealing, HVAC, ventilation, or other improvements that qualify for current incentives. We verify applicable requirements before representing an upgrade as rebate-eligible.

What happens after the assessment?

You receive a clear written summary and a prioritized list of recommended improvements. If you want an estimate for work within our services, we can explain the options. You decide what to complete, when to complete it, or whether to move forward at all.
