Comfort and energy efficiency are not the same but are closely related.

“Home Comfort Diagnostics” is the science of identifying the causes of comfort related problems and suggesting solutions to resolve them. These problems most often are rooms or areas in a house that are uncomfortably warmer or cooler than the rest of the house. They can also be noticed as drafts, noises, excessively long equipment run times, excessive humidity, and sometimes high energy bills.

Homes built in the last 10 years are much more energy efficient than homes built before that, but for some reason they are more prone to comfort issues.

If you have to overheat or overcool part of the house just to make another part comfortable, substantial energy is wasted. Very often improving comfort results in improved energy efficiency.

Fixing it is often much easier than you would believe!

Rarely does the fix require major changes to the existing equipment. Often you only need to make the existing system work to its fullest capability. Many homeowners have taken the advice of a contractor selling them a bigger system just to find that not only has the real comfort problem not been addressed but their energy bills have gone up.
