With over 30 years of experience serving the San Francisco Bay Area, we are dedicated to providing top-tier heat loss inspection services to help you optimize your property’s performance.
WHAT IS HEAT LOSS?
Heat loss refers to the unwanted transfer of heat from the inside of your building to the outside environment. This occurs when your property’s insulation and envelope are not performing optimally, allowing warmth to escape and cold air to infiltrate. Factors such as insufficient insulation, air leaks, and poorly sealed windows and doors contribute to this problem. Heat loss can significantly impact your building’s energy efficiency, leading to higher heating costs and decreased comfort. Addressing heat loss not only improves your property’s thermal performance but also enhances overall energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

COMMON CAUSES OF HEAT LOSS
Insufficient Insulation: Areas with inadequate or degraded insulation fail to effectively retain heat.
Air Leaks: Gaps and cracks around windows, doors, and other openings allow warm air to escape and cold air to enter.
Poorly Sealed Windows and Doors: Ineffective seals and weatherstripping can contribute to heat loss.
Ductwork Issues: Leaky or poorly insulated ducts can lose heat before it reaches your living spaces.
Uninsulated or Poorly Insulated Walls: Walls without proper insulation can be a major source of heat loss.
DO I NEED A HEAT LOSS INSPECTION?
Determining whether you need a heat loss inspection involves evaluating several key factors. A heat loss inspection can be particularly beneficial if you are experiencing any of the following issues:
If you’ve noticed a significant increase in your heating costs, it may indicate that your building is losing heat more rapidly than it should.
Persistent cold spots or drafts in certain areas of your property can signal poor insulation or air leaks.
Difficulty maintaining a consistent temperature throughout your building suggests potential issues with heat distribution or insulation.
If your building is older and hasn’t had an insulation update or inspection recently, it may be time to evaluate its effectiveness.
After significant renovations or upgrades, a heat loss inspection can help ensure that new windows, doors, or other additions are properly sealed and insulated.
If you or your occupants are consistently uncomfortable despite setting the thermostat, it might be a sign of underlying heat loss problems.
