What is Home Performance Contracting? It’s a “whole house” approach to home improvement: We use the latest technology to assess your home from top to bottom to determine how well it’s performing We test your home before AND after work is done to ensure that all your home’s systems are working together safely and efficiently. And, yes, we focus on reducing your energy bills, but we ALWAYS put your health and safety first! BPI Certified Professionals are specialists who make homes more comfortable and durable, improve indoor air quality, reduce moisture damage, lower utility bills, and save energy.

Benefits of the Whole House Approach You and your family will: Enjoy a healthier, safer home Be more comfortable Lower your energy costs Help the environment Increase the resale value of your home For every dollar you save on your annual energy bill, the market value of your home increases by up to $25 From www.energysavers.com: A recent study published in The Appraisal Journal shows that the market value of a home increases by $10 - $25 for every $1 decrease in annual fuel bills. The study confirms what many have believed for years: Energy efficiency substantially increases the market value of owner-occupied homes. The study was conducted by ICF Consulting with funding from the Environmental Protection Agency. It involved extensive statistical analysis of American Housing Survey data collected by the Department of Housing and Urban Development between 1991 and 1996. The research was based on detailed interviews (including a review of energy bills) that are conducted every other year at a sample of over 16,000 housing units all across the nation. Even taking many other correlated home features into account, the study confirmed energy efficiency improvements do result in higher home values: "With after-tax interest rates between 4% -10% and stable fuel price expectations, home buyers should pay $10 – $25 more for every dollar reduction in annual fuel bills resulting from energy efficiency“
