We did a few inspection in Santa Barbara yesterday and IAQ fans are just kicking everyones ass....lol. Remember to have a fan for exhaust wired for as a constantly running air exchanger. If it is not it's a hard fail. We are not allowed to make any changes nor repairs so it is a re inspection. Also on the plans they had 1 split Heat and AC system and in the home they had 2 Air handlers and 2 condensers. So to get the full PASS they need have the plan re done to the install a...nd I do not believe they will make it....a 590k build in jeopardy due to a builder making field changes and not getting it approved prior to install. Moral is call us in advance or with any questions, we can assist in determining timelines, requirements and help build a path to passing all #cec inspections. 805.806.0088 [email protected]

The BLOWER DOOR test is the #1 test in my opinion to determine what an existing homes ability is to use all components of an energy plan due to the homes ability to be sealed fully. For this test we test we de- pressure the entier home and we can then measure how much leakage there is. In areas that use the heater in winter and AC in the summer this test is very valuable.

If you are buying a home in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo or Monterey county you should be requesting a Duct Test / HERS test to determine the efficiency of your heating and cooling system. We can determine many detailed factors about your system to help you make an informed decision on the longevity of the equipment, the how much energy the system is wasting and what components can no longer be repaired.
