Pre-retrofit Evaluation Services
Deep Energy Retrofit and Building Retrofitting Services
At Earthrise, we specialize in deep energy retrofits that enhance the energy efficiency of homes. Our retrofitting services go beyond surface-level improvements, addressing the entire building as a system. By examining insulation, HVAC systems, and structural energy weaknesses, we provide tailored solutions that result in a more comfortable, high-performing home. Whether you’re looking to reduce energy costs, improve indoor air quality, or contribute to a more sustainable future, our deep energy retrofit services offer long-term benefits.​
Each retrofit project we undertake follows a clear and structured process designed to ensure success:
Pre-Retrofit Evaluation
This initial phase involves a comprehensive assessment of your home’s current energy performance. We identify inefficiencies, potential areas for improvement, and assess energy usage patterns.
Planning and Design
Using insights from the pre-retrofit evaluation, we develop a customized plan that addresses the specific energy needs of your home. This phase includes a clear roadmap for the retrofit, covering materials, timelines, and project scope.
Retrofit Implementation
Our team supports you to find qualified contractors to execute the retrofit according to the plan, and helps to ensure the work gets done as specified.
Post-Retrofit Evaluation
Once the retrofit is complete, we conduct a detailed assessment to measure the success of the improvements and ensure the project has met its goals.
Cost and Return on Investment
Investing in a deep energy retrofit is not only about reducing your current energy costs but also about increasing the overall value, comfort, and livability of your home. The initial costs of a retrofit can vary depending on the scope of the project, but the return on investment (ROI) is substantial over time. With improved energy efficiency, homeowners often see:
To help offset the initial costs, we assist homeowners in identifying applicable grants and funding options, making these projects more accessible and affordable.
A successful retrofit doesn’t end with implementation. At Earthrise, our post-retrofit evaluation services ensure that energy efficiency improvements meet the project’s objectives. This evaluation involves detailed testing and analysis to verify that the home’s energy performance has been optimized and that all systems are functioning as intended.​

Measuring Retrofit Success
We use several key metrics to measure the success of a retrofit, ensuring that it delivers tangible benefits:
Energy Savings
We compare energy consumption before and after the retrofit to quantify savings.
Comfort and Air Quality
We can assess indoor temperature consistency and air quality improvements to ensure enhanced living conditions.
System Performance
HVAC systems are tested to confirm they’re operating efficiently and as designed.
Environmental Impact
Reduced carbon emissions and energy usage contribute to a more sustainable, eco-friendly home.
