Chapter 3: Part 1 The Work Begins

Turns out you can't just toss some insulation in the attic and say, "Yep, looks fluffy enough." ๐Ÿ˜‚

There is actually a method to the madness. Proper depth, even coverage and making sure the insulation ends up where it's supposed to be... apparently " fluff it and hope for the best" is NOT an approved weatherization technique. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚

The work has officially begun

And trust me...we're just getting started.

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธCHAPTER 2: PART TWO- Time to find the tricky leaks!

Sometimes, the leaks in a home like to play hide-and-seek.๐Ÿ‘€
That's where zonals and smoke sticks come in!

These tools help our auditors track down air leaks that may be harder to find with our other testing.

From checking pressure differences between areas of the home to actually watching the path air takes, every little clue helps us figure out where the home is losing energy and comfort.๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ’จ

Every Test. Every Step. A better home for you. ๐Ÿ’™

We're in Chapter 2: Part One ! ๐Ÿฅณ

The blower door is running and now we start looking for hidden leaks using our infrared gun.

This little tool helps us see the temperature differences that our eyes can't- so we can find the problem areas and fix them right the first time.

From windows to doors to under the bathroom and kitchen sinks.... we check it all!

Every test. Every Step. A better home for you. โค๏ธ

CHAPTER 2: LET'S TURN IT ON ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿก

We've taken a look at the home.
Now it's time to put it to the test!

Our blower door helps us measure how much air is moving in and out of the home and gives our crew a better idea of where those hidden leaks may be.

Because we don't want to guess where a home needs help-
we to test it, find it and know exactly where to look next. ๐Ÿ‘€

And this is just one part of what we do...

Tomorrow, we go looking for the leaks. ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ

Follow along with us! The story is just getting started. โค๏ธ

Ever wonder what exactly happens when we weatherize a home? ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ”ง

Wellโ€ฆ itโ€™s more than just throwing some insulation in the attic! ๐Ÿ˜‚
Our team looks at the home as a whole and finds ways to help make it more comfortable, more energy-efficient, and easier on your utility bills.

I made this little visual to show you what the process can look like! โฌ‡๏ธ

And if youโ€™re sitting there sweating in the summer, freezing in the winter, or crying a little when that utility bill comes inโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ’ธ

Give me a call! There may be help available at NO COST if you qualify. โค๏ธ
