It All Starts with an Expert Assessment
Let’s face it, there’s A LOT to think about when it comes to the projects you have going on in your home. They seem never-ending. Where to start? What’s the priority? What’s going to be the best return on investment? Well, Allied will take the guesswork out of the equation. Having one of Allied’s Certified Building Analysts come in and assess your specific situation is the best way to begin the journey to a more comfortable, energy-efficient home.
What is an Expert Assessment?
Commonly referred to as an “Energy Audit” or “Energy Assessment”, an Expert Assessment takes a whole-house approach to view the way your home is experiencing comfort and energy loss. Allied’s Building Analyst will map and gather data about your home and it’s efficiency while also running a series of diagnostic tests to address any health and safety concerns. This information will make its way back to Allied’s Engineering and Design department to build a comprehensive report that will be used to prioritize your home upgrades.
What’s included with your assessment:
- Health and Safety Inspection
- Equipment Diagnostic Testing
- Attic/Crawlspace Inspection
- Air Infiltration Tests
- Map and Model of Home
- Mold and Moisture Inspection
- And Much More!

So you’ve just had your Expert Assessment down. Now what? From here, your Building Analyst will return with a detailed report of your home and the findings from the assessment. Here’s a list of the most common upgrades that are found to have the biggest impact on comfort and energy efficiency throughout all the homes Allied visits:
