"Money is not all you will be saving"
Home performance with Affordable Energy Solutions (A.E.S.) not only takes a comprehensive view of the components of your home; it puts special attention on the most important element of an excellent home improvement plan: you.
Walk Through and Interview. The process begins with
a discussion with a A.E.S consultant about your
concerns and interests in improving your home, including
any plans for upgrading or remodeling. Then, a careful
walk through is performed to identify likely sources of
problems and potential improvements.
Diagnostic Testing. Comprehensive and sophisticated
testing is performed to collect data that identify and
measure the root causes of comfort, health, and energy
efficiency problems. A.E.S.'s team of consultants
and technicians utilize the following diagnostic
equipment to measure how your house operates as
a whole system.
- Blower Door with Digital Manometer
- Infrared Camera
- Combustion Analyzer
- Gas Leak Detector
- Digital Psycrometer
- Watts-Up meter
- carbon monoxide meter
Report and Recommendations. The results of the
analysis are detailed in an assessment report
that explains all of the identified issues and summarizes
their impact with easy to comprehend descriptions.
A comprehensive set of recommended solutions is
included with realistic estimates of the improvements to
comfort, health, and efficiency that can be attained by
pursuing the suggestions. Issues and recommendations corresponding to your objectives and concerns are
highlighted.
If you are interested in making
improvements to your home, A.E.S. will draw up a
detailed scope of workand cost estimate for your
consideration. The scope of work may be expanded to
include remodeling or other enhancements of interest to
you. A.E.S will point out Federal, State and Local
tax and incentive benefits for which you may qualify.
You are under no obligation to make repairs and
improvements and you are free to
gather input from other contractors.
Repairs and Improvements. Your A.E.S.
consultant will work with you to see that a repair and
improvement plan that satisfies your desires and
budgetary constraints is undertaken and properly
completed.
Retesting. When the repairs and improvements to your
home are complete, A.E.S will conduct several
tests to measure improvements to your home's
performance and to document or photograph the
elimination of problems, some of which may be hidden
or obscure.
Final Report. The process is completed with the
presentation of a final report that provides easy to
understand before and after results. You are left with
no doubts or guesses about the impact of the
improvements to your home. We are sure you will enjoy
sharing this information with interested family and
friends, as well as potential buyers of your house if you
choose to sell it.
