Let Us Help You Make Your Home More Comfortable, Healthy, And Efficient
At Green Collar Crew, we take a “whole-house” approach. That means we don’t just fix your furnace or replace your windows. We examine your entire home and appliances to find the problem areas. Then we recommend the most cost-effective, energy-saving solutions that get to the root of the problems – and ensure your family’s safety and comfort.
You choose the solutions that are right for your family, and your auditor works with our home improvement crew to implement the solutions in the most effective way. The final step is testing to verify that the improvements are effective – so you know that you received what you paid for.

What Exactly Is An Energy Audit Or A Home Assessment?
One of our experienced and certified energy auditors will inspect your home to find exactly where your home is losing energy and causing comfort issues. Like a detective with building science expertise, he knows where to look and how to test for energy loss, safety issues, problems with your home's durability, water leaks, mold, mildew and moisture issues, etc.
You have two options for inspections - the Comprehensive Home Energy & Health Audit is a thorough, top-to-bottom, inside-and-out inspection of your home using diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the exact location and nature of problem areas. The Home Energy Assessment is a more basic assessment of the general energy features of your home, without the use of diagnostic equipment. It is the "lite" version of the Comprehensive Audit.

Home Energy Assessment
The Home Energy Assessment is a basic, walk-through assessment of the general energy features of your home. Visual inspection is used rather than diagnostic equipment to locate problem areas. It is the "lite" version of the Comprehensive Audit (see below). After the assessment, your auditor puts his findings in a detailed report, with recommendations for energy-saving home improvements. |

Comprehensive Home Energy & Health Audit The Comprehensive Home Energy & Health Audit is a thorough, top-to-bottom, inside-and-out inspection of your home using diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the exact location and nature of problem areas. Your auditor will use special diagnostic equipment to: |
|
- Make sure your appliances are running efficiently and safely
- Test your inside air for carbon monoxide
- Test your gas and other fuel appliances for carbon monoxide
- Ensure your appliance flues are properly venting
- Test your mechanical room to ensure that it will not "backdraft" your appliance flues which could cause carbon monoxide in your home
- Test your attic, crawl spaces, basement, outer walls, windows and doors for air leaks using a blower door
- See if you have enough insulation
- Inspect your heating and cooling ducts for leaks to see if conditioned air is being lost on the way to the rooms of your home
After the Comprehensive Audit, your auditor will prepare a detailed report, showing problem areas and recommendations to make your home more comfortable and energy efficient.
Find Out Where Your Home Is Loosing Energy
How Does The Process Work?
Step 1: Home Assessment or Energy Audit
Our experienced, certified energy auditors inspect your home to find exactly where your home is losing energy and causing comfort issues.
Your energy auditor takes the findings from your energy assessment and provides specific recommendations to help you save energy and improve your comfort.
Your Auditor will also schedule an "Action Plan Meeting" where one of our Building Scientists will review our audit findings with you and develop with you an "Action Plan" of home improvements that best suit your family's needs and your budget.
After the work is completed, our Crew will runs diagnostic tests again to ensure the improvements are providing the expected results.
