Anyone building a new residential home in America. Also, depending on state homeowners may need this for renovation work being done to home.

Both. We support builders, contractors, and developers and work directly with homeowners for insulation inspections, rebate documentation, and system efficiency testing.

• Energy calculations: Builder has prints ready to get a new home started and needs to get the documents for his permit. He sends us the blueprints for the home with a “builder information sheet” telling me what he is going to be putting into the home as far as insulation, windows, doors, HVAC is concerned. We then model out the home and make sure that it is meeting code requirements. Once that is complete we give him the paperwork needed to get his permit.
• Thermal Bypass Inspection (Insulation inspection): Once the home is insulated we come in and make sure that everything that was modeled in the home was actually installed. We document insulation, window, HVAC, specs and ensure that the home will pass the blower door and duct leakage test once drywall is put up.
• Blower Door & Duct Leakage Test: A blower door and duct blaster test is required on every new home in the state in order to get an occupancy permit. The best time to do a blower door test is once the carpet in the home has been laid and the thermal envelope is sealed. This test ensures that the air leakage in the home and duct system is at an acceptable level for code requirements.

A home energy inspection evaluates how efficiently your home uses energy. It typically includes blower door testing, duct testing, insulation inspections, and airflow analysis to identify leaks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for energy savings, comfort improvements, and code or rebate compliance.

Many Massachusetts homeowners qualify for Mass Save® rebates after completing a professional energy inspection. Eligibility depends on your home type, fuel source, and existing insulation or air sealing needs. An inspection helps determine exactly which rebates and incentives you qualify for.

Most home energy inspections take 1–3 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the property. Builders and contractors may require additional testing time for code compliance or documentation, but disruption is minimal and results are often available quickly.

Yes. A professional energy inspection can uncover hidden energy loss that leads to high utility bills, comfort issues, and moisture problems. Many homeowners save money through lower energy costs, while builders benefit from meeting energy code requirements and avoiding failed inspections.

Yes. Builders and contractors often need services like blower door testing, duct leakage testing, and HERS ratings to meet Massachusetts energy codes. Using a certified third-party energy professional helps ensure compliance, avoid delays, and pass inspections the first time.

Not always. Some homes already meet efficiency standards. If improvements are recommended, they are prioritized based on cost-effectiveness, comfort, and rebate eligibility. There’s no obligation to move forward, and recommendations are meant to help you make informed decisions.
