Infrared inspection

Infrared inspection helps to identify exact spot where your house is loosing temperature. Using this tool helps to make a specific list of weak point to improve.

We will also conduct a blower door test to measure the rate of air infiltration in the home, and a duct blaster test to determine whether your ducts are well-sealed, among other tools.

Improvements can be made

Jordan Air focuses on making your home more comfortable and more energy efficient. We have always had a passion for conserving energy, and we’ve recently spent extensive time training our technicians on home performance measures. With this training, we’ve realized the huge impact that can be made on power consumption. We’re here to help you decide what improvements can be made to make your home more comfortable and more energy efficient.

 

HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM

You’re heading out of town for the week for a family vacation. The car is packed, and you’re an hour down the road before you realize, that in the rush of leaving, you left your air conditioning on full blast and your kids left on every light in the house.Your next power bill is going to be through the roof, and there’s nothing you can do about it. With NexiaTM Smart Home Automation, all these problems can be solved anywhere at anytime. Controlling your heating and air conditioning has never been easier. With NexiaTM, you’re able to adjust your home’s temperature from the tips of your fingers via your phone.

INSULATION ANALYSIS

We take great care to ensure that the insulation products we use are of the highest quality, and are the best fit for our clients for any given project. Whether you're looking for the most environmentally friendly solution -- cellulose insulation made from recycled newspaper, for example -- or the highest R-value, highest performance insulation products on the market like open and closed cell spray foam, we have the products to meet your needs.

DUCT BLASTER TESTING

Leaky ducts can be the source of high heating and cooling bills, poor indoor air quality, and reduced equipment performance. These leaks are a major source of energy waste, and it’s on your dime. If your ducts aren’t functioning properly, your air conditioning could be getting sent to spaces such as the attic or garage instead of the house, causing an uncomfortable temperature. Basically, duct leaks lead to a plethora of problems.

GEOTHERMAL

If you’re looking to lower your energy costs immediately while being environmentally friendly, you should consider a geothermal system. A geothermal system heats and cools your home without burning fossil fuels; it, instead, generates electricity by pulling from the constant temperature deep in the earth. During the colder season, your home is warmed through heat in the earth. When it’s hot outside, your home is cooled by the movement of heat back into the earth.

APPLIANCE REVIEW

Have you ever wondered how much energy your oven, computer or coffee maker uses? Some of the biggest energy hogs are washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, and water pumps (source). Determining how much energy your appliances use sheds light on the amount of money you’re paying to use them. Jordan Air is able to come in with a variety of state-of-the-art tools to identify which appliances in your home are energy suckers. We’re then able to recommend the most cost-effective way to improve your energy efficiency. Call Jordan Air today for an efficiency review of your appliances.

BLOWER DOOR TESTING

A blower door test locates air leaks by using a special fan to depressurize a house. Blower tests are conducted before and after air sealing to measure effectiveness of the work.
