Intrigued? Want to learn more about how to solve the root problems of frustrations you have with your home? Don’t just do the ‘spend and hope’ routine. Get a plan. The first step is an initial consultation where we’ll gain an understanding of the problems you’re trying to solve, continue your Building Science education, find out how much energy savings opportunity your home has, and run a blower door test to find out how much your home leaks.

Wait! Before you schedule an initial consultation, if you haven’t read at least 4 pages on the website, please spend some time on it reading so that you will get the most value out of our visit. While reading, you’re likely to decide whether Energy Smart is the company to help solve your problem(s) or if we’re too big of a hammer.

Here are a few places to start, continue with anything that grabs your interest. The more you read, the better educated you’ll be, so even if you choose another company you’ll have a good idea of what to ask about. We do remote consulting as well.
