Learn moreCasey and his team are very thorough and thoughtful in their approach to energy efficiency. They conducted a detailed review of the current state of my home, informed me where improvements could be made, and prioritized which improvements would yield the greatest results. We opted for duct sealing in both HVAC units, air gap sealing for the entire house, and blow-in attic insulation. Our biggest priority was savings in our energy bills, and we have certainly seen a large difference just in the first month. I am glad we invested in this upgrade.

Excellent service from initial phone call to blower door test. Very polite, personable and informative.

Alan came out and was very nice and knowledgeable. He respected my new home and even removed his shoes for me. I will definitely be using them again when needed and will refer them to anyone that needs their services.
Whether it’s new construction or a 100+ year-old home, it’s worth having these guys out. Time and time again they’re able to find ways to save money on energy costs and Max out efficiency.
Casey and his team did a wonderful job with replacing and updating the insulation in our home. His team came out and did a thorough inspection, going above and beyond what competing companies did. He also gave me energy saving advice that I was not aware of, and it will help me in the long run. I appreciate their professionalism and attention to detail, and I would recommend them to anyone who wants their home to be more energy efficient.

A blower door test measures how airtight your home is. A calibrated fan is mounted in an exterior door frame and pulls air out of the house, which lowers the indoor pressure. Digital gauges compare indoor and outdoor pressure, so we can quantify air leakage and locate the gaps, cracks and hidden pathways where outside air is getting in.
Cost-effective testing starts at $350. The price depends on the size of the home and which tests you need, so call (423) 903-3001 or request a test and we will give you a clear number.
It depends on the size of the home and the complexity of the duct system. A blower door test generally takes about 1–2 hours and duct work testing about 2–3 hours. Your technician can give you a closer estimate for your home.
No, testing is minimally disruptive. For a blower door test a fan is temporarily set in an exterior door. Duct work testing is done through your existing duct access points. Any repairs we recommend are discussed first and scheduled at your convenience.
An Energy Duct Pro technician will walk you through a detailed report of your results and a plan for correcting any issues.
