Contrary to what advertisements would like you to believe, the majority of heat loss is rarely through doors and windows. In fact, the biggest loss of heat usually happens between the living space and the attic of your home. Heated air mostly moves upward due to the fact that cold air is heavier and denser than warm air. This phenomena occurs because of what is called the "buoyancy effect". As the denser, heavier cold air settles to the ground it drives the warm air upward. Therefore, the larger loss of heat occurs between the living space and the unheated, vented attic.
Ice dams are one way to see that heat is leaving your home, but not all signs are that obvious to the naked eye. That's why our trained experts use sound building science to assess target areas of concern within your home.
Using state of the art technology, like InfraRed cameras and Blower Door technology (living space depressurization/pressurization), the hidden leaks and problem areas can be identified and recommended solutions can be delivered.
Along with the recommended solutions, HeatKeepers can deliver a payback analysis report, outlining not only the approximate cost of the renovations but the time in which your investment becomes real annual savings.
