Services
Solar Installation
We design and install custom solar power systems tailored to your home's energy needs. Our certified technicians use premium panels from SunPower, Panasonic, and LG to maximize energy production. By combining solar arrays with optional battery storage, we create resilient energy solutions that reduce utility bills and provide backup power during outages.
Energy Audits
Our comprehensive energy audits identify hidden inefficiencies through thermal imaging and diagnostic testing. We analyze insulation quality, air leakage, and HVAC performance to create prioritized upgrade plans. These assessments help homeowners qualify for federal tax credits and utility rebates while improving overall home comfort.
CALGREEN Compliance
We ensure construction projects meet California's strict environmental standards through mandatory field inspections. Our certified inspectors verify proper stormwater management, waste recycling, and indoor air quality measures. We maintain compliance documentation and prepare operations manuals required for final building permits.
Blower Door Testing
This diagnostic test measures home air tightness by depressurizing the building envelope. We use smoke sticks to visualize air leaks and quantify energy losses. Identifying these gaps allows targeted sealing improvements that can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 30% while improving indoor air quality.
Duct Testing
Our duct leakage tests verify HVAC system efficiency by measuring airflow and pressure differentials. We ensure new installations meet California's 5% leakage standard using calibrated equipment. Properly sealed ducts improve energy efficiency, indoor comfort, and system longevity while reducing monthly utility expenses.
