Home Inspections and why they are important…

Let me introduce my self, my name is Brook Beierle and I am a certified Building Performance Specialist at EarthsaversO2. I have several thoughts on why people should have inspections done on new and existing homes. You see as a third party inspection company, EarthsaversO2 does not sale any products only a service. You see a window company’s will inspect your home and sale you windows. A heating & air conditioning contractor inspects your home and they will suggest you upgrade your furnace or air conditioner. Is this what your home or building really needs to improve the energy efficiency and occupants indoor air quality? That is where are services come to your benefit! Our company will only consult you with cost effective home/ building improvement suggestions.

Why hire a Building Performance Specialist for New Homes?

I have inspected new homes that have and not had third party inspections services while being built. You see its not the people that make homes fail, it is the process! Most contractors spend efforts producing quantity not quality homes. A home that is Energy Star or built Green does not have to cost more. The first step to having a green energy efficient home is having the builder hire a third party verification company. By eliminating guesswork and applying building science many issues are prevented. Several homes that I went into for homeowners after they were built had serious energy robbing air leaks and potential health issues. These issues all can be dramatically prevented with prevention during building process. You see a builder does not always no everything about each trade they hire. That’s why they hire sub contractors. Sometimes the sub contractors are not up to date with standards…. Inspections & performance testing during construction and at completion is the only way to really control quality control.

Why have a Home Inspection for existing home?

Everyone works very hard to earn the money that pays the bills. What people do not realize how much money is being wasted in leaks out of the home year after year. Problems consist in many different areas in existing homes. With the right test such as a duct leakage test, infrared imaging and detailed inspections we then can evaluate and recommend cost effective improvements. Also it is important to understand that your homes indoor air quality is often worse then outside!

Don’t wait any longer! Contact EarthsavesO2 today for your new or existing home/building needs.
