Home performance testing with a blower door, duct blaster and infrared camera is a process used to evaluate the airtightness and overall energy efficiency of a residential home. These specialized devices help identify air leaks and assess the quality of a building’s thermal envelope.

In a perfect world HVAC contractors would be air sealing the air moving and conditioning systems they were installing. Unfortunately its not a perfect world. Sealing your ducts, return air, and hvac system will help create a more efficient and comfortable home.

Attic insulation removal is something that should not be taken lightly. Insulation removal is a difficult but sometimes necessary process that can increase the comfort, efficiency and indoor living conditions of your home. An attic that is full of old, dusty, dust-mite contaminated, animal infested insulation is not only a potential health risk to the home’s occupants but it is also inefficient. Perkins Inc. specializes in removing old, dusty, animal feces contaminated attic insulation through out the Dallas metroplex.

Attic floor air sealing is considered one of the most important energy saving and comfort increasing upgrades. The most wasteful and overlooked air leaks can actually be located in your attic. Air leaking between your home and your attic tend to bring in the most dust and unwanted temperatures year round. Insulation materials alone have a high air permeability and are not considered air barriers. Air leaking through an insulation material is much like air moving through an air filter which reduces the insulations thermal resistance.
