No matter what decade in which your home was built, builders either lacked the construction technologies used today or the builder of your home may have cut corners “behind the walls” in order to save money. In each of these cases, it makes it harder to air condition your home and to maintain a comfortable temperature… wasting money, energy and making the air in your home uncomfortable and possibly more contaminated than the air just outside of your home.
Much like getting a comprehensive “physical” or MRI from your doctor, your home should be comprehensively analyzed to identify any ways in which it is not effectively “performing”. Park Lane Healthy Homes offers three levels of audits to determine the health of your home and will provide an Audit Report and walk you through specific solutions to improve performance so you can start enjoying the benefits of a more efficient, healthier and more comfortable home.
assess your home’s performance
This level audit involves having trained professionals review your home's systems and analyze how they are performing in concert with each other. Our inspectors will perform a 52-point physical inspection of such items as your HVAC systems, duct work, insulation, windows, weatherstripping, lighting, appliances, attic ventilation, and more.
This level is the same as the scope for Level I, plus professionals will perform a “duct blaster” test to determine if and where your HVAC duct is leaking and will perform a “blower door” test to see where your home is experiencing infiltration.
This level is the same scope as Level II, plus infrared photos of your walls and ceilings.
Takes a third-party reading of your indoor air – all particle allergens, chemical pollutants, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and even relative humidity. These readings are taken over a time sequence over several days to show where spikes in these data occur and, more importantly, whether there are sustained levels of any of these contaminants in your indoor air.
The report makes recommendations to address any indoor air quality issues.
