Home Energy Retrofit

Your Bay Area source for upgrading your house's energy performance as well as lowering your costs and carbon footprint.

We are proponents of the "home as a system" approach to making safe, healthy and efficient places to live where mold and air contaminents are controlled by smart ventilation. We provide energy efficiency, great interior air quality (IAQ) and efficient uses of natural resources. We believe in buildings that are built to last and properly maintaining them.

As a home performance service company that is BPI compliant you will recieve the following in one of our home audits:

  • Blower Door test that de-pressurizes your house and makes it easy to see where the leaks are.
  • Infrared scan to highlight any hidden problems
  • Worst case depressurization to test for combustion gasses
  • Duct pressure testing

This slideshow contains images of common areas in a house that either use or lose energy, costing you money and comfort.

We are inspired by the Obama Administration's energy policy, California's energy policy as well as Affordable Comfort, the Rocky Mountain Institute and the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, the National Energy Laboratories, Home Energy and Fine Homebuilding magazines . Retrofitting and building green is nothing new for us. We built our first house designed for maximum energy efficiency in 1993.

We are proponents of LEED, Energy Star, the Green Point Rating System, Passivhaus Standards, and the American Lung Association's Healthy House guidelines. We'd be happy to incorporate any of these principles into your home retrofit. Our experience is in custom home remodeling and energy testing, lighting retrofits as well as education.

Home Energy Retrofit is here to assist you in bringing your home up to a higher energy efficiency standard. We are licensed, bonded, insured and experienced with multiple building technologies ready to serve you.
