Remote Load Calculations

 

We assist Home Builders and Home Remodeling Companies in two key ways:

We are experts at evaluating issues being experienced in an existing home, will accurately identify the causes, and provide an outline for steps and equipment needed to solve those issues along with best installation practices.

Before you begin your remodeling project or new construction, we can review all plans to make sure all HVAC equipment and systems are properly sized and commissioned for the space.

Manual J Load Calculations

These calculations can be performed remotely. For new construction, we can work with your blueprints and architectural drawings including the building orientation, window and door schedules, and insulation specs. With existing homes, we prefer to make a site visit.

 

HERS Scores

The HERS Index measures a home’s energy efficiency. Having a home energy rating performed on your house can tell you a lot about the home, such as how efficiently it’s operating and where you can make modifications for greater energy savings. 

When selling a home, a low HERS Index Score can command a higher resale price, and when buying a home you can anticipate the costs of energy bills and efficiency upgrades.

 

Combustion Appliance Safety Testing

If a home contains natural-draft appliances (such as a natural-draft furnace, boiler, or water heater) then combustion safety testing must be conducted by a certified energy rater.

 

Aligning Your Interests with Federal and State Subsidy and Building Certification Programs

As administrations open up the coffers for builders to build more efficiently, Home Energy Solutions is available to help align your business goals with meeting program requirements. 

 

Our services remove obstacles standing in your way:

  • ROI

    We can provide the ROI for home improvements before listing a home for sale, or whether or not to purchase a home that may have expensive issues.

  • Time

    We guide you on the steps that need to be taken so you know your time and effort is well spent.

  • Save Money

    Our comprehensive reports serve as a thorough road map to anticipating problems that may develop as well as corrective actions for existing issues.

As a Home Builder / Remodeler, what would it feel like to:

  • build a reputation for effectively protecting your clients’ best interests?

  • gain confidence from partnering with an experienced professional with a wealth of knowledge in building systems?

  • be able to offer valuable information to your clients resulting in a more protected investment?

When you partner with Home Energy Solutions, you will be able to estimate jobs more confidently, anticipate upfront costs more accurately, and ultimately produce a higher quality build.

Frequently Asked Questions from Home Builders for our Home Energy Services

 

  • Aside from providing a solution to your issue, Home Energy Solutions prioritizes educating our customers as part of our process.

    This truly sets us apart from our competitors as an ally to our clients. Our philosophy is that if our customers are better informed, they will be able to head off potential issues in the future before a problem may arise.

    We also extend the same services to our homeowner clients and your customers.

    Home Energy Solutions consults with homeowners on decisions over asset allocation as a condition of better construction practices.

    Our focus is on perpetual innovation and problem-solving.

  • For many builders, the Energy Star for Homes program has been a great way to raise their market awareness, improve their homes, and become more visible to their customers.

    For other builders, the Energy Star for Homes offers very little and is an altogether conceit to their products. Think of the efficiencies of government in general . . . if ambitious builders were limited by federally-backed programs, is it really sound logic to believe that their homes would be the most energy-efficient example?

    For example, the current NC building codes (to which every single new construction house must conform) is already 95% congruent with the Energy Star for homes program.

    Our position is that if the D-code built house can already nearly qualify for Energy Star, where is the real value to your customers? We believe the US housing market still needs real solutions to issues that have been plaguing houses for decades – not just participation ribbons.
