Time for the Pitch

In case you’re wondering, we call our energy audits a Comprehensive Planning Process because they go so much further than a typical audit does. We want to understand what you’re trying to solve, diagnose the root causes, come up with tailored plans to fix them, and help you implement them correctly, so results show up. That’s a mouthful of a pitch, but that’s what we do.

Does it seem a little overkill when you’re just trying to get rid of icicles? It may be. Having failed in the past to stop icicles because of lack of planning, and also having fixed numerous competitors’ projects, it’s not as easy as it seems.

Want to get started? You’ve got 2 choices:

1. Start with an initial consultation.

We find the problems you’d like to solve, teach you a bit of Building Science which underpins everything we do, take a look at your utility bills to see how much savings opportunity you have, see how much your home leaks with a blower door test. Part of this cost is applied to the Comprehensive Planning Process, if you choose to move forward. 

2. Buy a Comprehensive Planning Process for your home.

This will avoid most or all unforseen interactions, and is very likely to deliver results, since that’s our goal. It would stink to fix icicles, but make your master bedroom freezing – which is a likely result if not planned for.

But Wait!

Both options begin with our questionnaire, but we highly recommend spending more time on the site, as we’re not for everyone and we want you to be sure we are before getting started. You can fill out the questionnaire anywhere on the site at the top right.
