What is Home Performance?

Home performance is the idea that a house should work as one complete system and not just a collection of walls, wires, and appliances. When all the parts of your home work together, the result is a space that feels better, costs less to run, and lasts longer.

Think of it as a health checkup for your house. Instead of guessing why a room is drafty or why energy bills keep climbing, home performance looks at how air, moisture, insulation, heating, cooling, and ventilation interact. When one part is weak, it affects everything else.

What a Home Performance Upgrade Helps With

• Lower energy bills
A home that holds heat in winter and cool air in summer simply costs less to operate.

• More comfort
No more rooms that feel like a desert while others feel like a fridge. Temperatures even out.

• Better air quality
Cleaner, fresher indoor air by reducing drafts, pollutants, and moisture problems.

• Longer-lasting equipment
Your heating and cooling system doesn’t have to work as hard when the home is well-sealed and insulated.

• A safer home
Proper ventilation and air sealing help prevent issues like carbon monoxide back-drafting or mold growth.
