HERS Energy Ratings & Blower Door Test in Gloucester, Massachusetts
Our team provides HERS energy ratings for buildings in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and the surrounding towns. A HERS Energy rating is an effective way to understand how efficient or inefficient a specific building is. By comparing new homes to a standard home, our team is able to provide a concrete metric for how efficient your building is. These ratings are essential for new developments and for determining ways you can improve.
​
HERS energy assessments include blower door testing. Our team provides this test to help contractors and homeowners identify drafts. A blower door test works by pressurizing a room and tracking where air escapes and how quickly that air escapes. A well-insulated/manufactured room will not leak air quickly, which is part of the overarching factors that determine your building's HERS Energy Rating. For more information or to schedule tests and assessments, give us a call.
Aeroseal Air Barrier Sealing Services in Gloucester, Massachusetts
Beyond assessments and testing, our team provides actionable plans to help improve energy efficiency. One option that is extremely effective in handling drafts and air leaks is air barrier sealing. The Aeroseal Building Envelope service uses a blower door to pressurize a room, and Aeroseal is then distributed throughout the room so that the sealant particles are naturally carried directly to where the air leaks are located. Aeroseal also has options for ductwork that can help seal up the natural leaks caused by junctions and cracks in ducts.
Blown-In Insulation For Gloucester Properties
Blown-in insulation is another option for improving energy efficiency. Traditional batt insulation inherently has cracks where two batts meet. Likewise, batt insulation is difficult to use effectively for rooms with odd geometry, like attics and crawlspaces. Blown-in insulation helps seal up cracks and can be used in conjunction with pre-existing batt insulation. We provide fiberglass, rockwoll, and cellulose insulation materials.
