The Healthy Home

Your home is more than the sum of its individual components. It’s a combination of comfort, safety, energy and other environmental systems, all of which need to work together as a system. When a part of that system doesn't work, the whole system can under-perform.

For the most part, contractors fix the obvious problems: replacing an air conditioning unit, for example. But if air ducts leak or registers are improperly sized, a new AC unit won’t solve the problem.

Or a contractor could install a new furnace. But without examining whether the attic insulation is adequate or air circulation is proper, your home could still be uncomfortable.

Home Performance with ENERGY STAR works with contractors to ensure they have the training and skills to properly assess your home as a whole system and prescribe upgrades and enhancements that will give you better indoor air quality, comfort and lower energy bills.
