Remove clutter and obstructions around all outlets and switch-plates, water heater, AC units, and furnaces

close and secure all windows and external doors (including storm windows); take note of any that are damaged or defective

shut fireplace doors, dampers, and wood-stove intakes. Clean all fireplaces of ashes 

When we arrive we will want you to: 

show us the exterior and interior of your home

You should know: 

after our outside and inside tour with you we will begin conducting testing of the home

the blower door test is sometimes disturbing to pets and small children, the noise is not deafening but is loud and can be bothersome 

we try to “move along” during the Blower Door test, but it can take a while based on the size and complexity of your home; plan for 45 minutes to 1 hour, and we will always try to keep that test time to a minimum. We are not slow, but we are thorough. 

Toward the end of our site visit: 

we will want to review some of our findings with you 

we may request to show you in person some items in particular 

we may have some additional questions 

we will remind you our formal written report will take about two weeks to return to you. 

Payment: 

An invoice will be provided to you upon our arrival, and we look for payment before the staff person leaves your home. Payment can be by check or credit card.
