Complete Home Analysis

Buying your North Carolina home was probably the largest investment you ever made. Now, it's up to you to care for that investment and enhance its performance by making home improvements that are smart for you, your family, and the environment. Affordable Comfort can show you how.

By performing a comprehensive assessment of your air ducts and combustion equipment (furnace, boiler, hot water tank, and stove), we can give you an overall efficiency and safety picture of your indoor air. Blower door testing allows us to find the precise location of air leaks, and then measure them. Gas detectors help "read" the safety of your appliances. We also use duct blasters to test leakage points in your ductwork.

We at Affordable Comfort can also perform a top to bottom energy efficiency inspection of your home. The inspection will determine the cause of any problems you may be experiencing (cold rooms, ice dams, damp basement, moisture on windows, etc.), and help you gauge your home's energy efficiency and durability. As part of the inspection, we will also make sure your gas or oil appliances are venting properly.

Following the inspection, our Performance-Based Contractors™ will recommend improvements. These may include measures such as air-sealing, duct-sealing, installing additional insulation, installation of energy efficient lighting, and new HVAC equipment or windows if needed. The best solution for most homes often includes a combination of several improvements.

We will develop a detailed analysis of recommended energy efficiency improvements, including a cost and energy savings estimate, with options for low-interest financing and other financial incentives.

Training

National Comfort Institute (NCI) is one of the country’s top training and certification organizations. NCI started in 1992 as National Balancing Institute, a training organization aimed at helping heating and air conditioning contractors provide even comfort throughout homes and businesses using a technique called Air Balancing. This technique, previously only available for large commercial and industrial facilities, was refined to work in smaller buildings and homes.  At Affordable Comfort, we are one of few HVAC companies in Western North Carolina trained by NCI.
