Available Services

Homeowners can request a single test or service, or the complete Penquis Home Performance Audit.  A single test is best if you have a specific problem or issue.   Call today to discuss your needs and available services. Single tests include:

• Ventilation and Air Flow — A blower door test measures the building tightness and shows how much air infiltrates into a building and helps pinpoint the location.
• Infrared Thermal —Thermal imaging can locate insulation deficiencies in walls and other inaccessible locations, heat leaking into an attic or wall, or even locate where radiant piping is located in a concrete floor.
• Combustion Gas Leak Detection—Using an analyzer, Penquis can pinpoint gas leaks.
• Lead Testing - The presence of lead can be detected through an XRay.

Penquis Home Audit

Penquis offers a variety of services -  to fit every household’s budget and information needs.  For some, a simple infrared image of a cold wall or attic may be sufficient to identify the presence or absence of insulation.  Others may want a complete analysis and use of the TREAT (Target Residential Energy Analysis Tool) to identify payback priorities.

To assist homeowners in selecting the best service, we encourage completion of a short questionnaire.  This questionnaire is designed to give us an understanding of your needs, the construction of your home, and any specific home performance challenges you are facing.  Upon review of the questionnaire we’ll work with you to make a recommendation for the best service to meet your needs.  A testing regiment will be developed and the right combination of visual inspection, testing to measure and locate drafts, and analysis will be recommended to fit your needs.
