Home Performance

What is Home Performance?

Home Performance is how your home is affected by air leakage (both healthy and unhealthy air) and energy consumption. It is how your house behaves within its environment. It is also called your home's “Carbon Footprint”, which means the amount of energy your home consumes.

What does it mean to me?

Virtually every house has issues of some sort that can be corrected. These issues can range from an uncomfortable room, to musty odors, health issues such as respiratory concerns, high utility bills, too much humidity (mildew and mold), and excessive dust, to carbon monoxide poisoning.

How do I know if my house is healthy or is as efficient as it can be?

You can have your whole house tested by our professionals at All Seasons®. For your home's check-up, we use the following:

Blower Door Testing We use a specialized instrument known as a “Blower Door” to accurately measure and locate the air that is entering your home’s living areas. It is important to know where the "unhealthy" air is entering your home. By locating the source, our technicians can seal the leaks to help ensure a healthier home.
Infrared Camera Testing All Seasons® uses an Infrared Camera to show you hidden air and moisture leaks that you can not see with your eyes and where your insulation is ineffective or missing. This camera can also locate hot spots in your electrical circuits and find trouble before they become a serious issue.
Duct Blaster Testing Seriously high air conditioning and heating utility bills can be caused by leaking duct work. Leaking duct work is the leading cause for excessive dust, high bills, and uncomfortable houses.Our “Duct Blaster” will measure and locate the air being lost through your duct system.

If you are having comfort concerns, strange odors, dust issues, health concerns in your house and/or high energy bills, please have your house tested to find the root cause of these problems. Once you know what and where the issues are, they can be eliminated.

The remediation results can be dramatic. Our clients have seen their utility bills lowered by hundreds of dollars per year. Their homes’ air quality and comfort improved significantly.

This testing varies in investment cost depending upon what is needed and the size of the home.
