"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.
