Improve home comfort, health, and efficiency with confidence.
Your home might have that PDX charm on the outside—but what’s happening behind the walls, under the floors, and through the ducts can have a big impact on your comfort, health, and energy bills. At Resilient Retrofits, our Home Performance Assessments uncover what’s working, what’s not, and how to make your home perform better, season after season.
Why Schedule a Home Performance Assessment?
If you’re feeling drafts, battling high utility bills, or are concerned about the quality of the air in your home, a Home Performance Assessment is the smartest starting point. We’ll help you understand how your home uses—and loses—energy, so you can prioritize improvements that actually make your home more energy efficient. The best part is, it also makes your home significantly more comfortable!
With every assessment, you get a clearer picture of your home’s strengths and weaknesses, along with expert guidance on cost-effective next steps. It’s also the key to unlocking rebates, tax credits, and financing programs that can dramatically reduce the cost of upgrades.
Home Performance Assessment Cost
Our comprehensive home assessments range from $450–$600, depending on the scope and size of your home. If you move forward with upgrade work through Resilient Retrofits, we credit back 50% of your assessment cost—making it an investment that pays off from the start.
What You’ll Learn
Our assessments use tools like blower door tests and infrared cameras to reveal where your home is underperforming. We check for air leaks, missing insulation, inefficient heating and cooling systems, and indoor air quality issues—then we compile our findings into a detailed, easy-to-understand report.
But we don’t stop at data. We’ll sit down with you to explain what it means, what your options are, and how to move forward based on your goals, budget, and eligibility for incentives.
Designed for Portland Homes
Without a baseline assessment of indoor air quality and moisture conditions, weatherization can unintentionally trap pollutants—like combustion gases, mold spores, or VOCs—and create new issues like condensation buildup or poor ventilation. At Resilient Retrofits, our energy assessments go beyond efficiency. We test for airflow, humidity, and potential contaminant sources to ensure your home is ready to be tightened up safely. That way, your upgrades improve comfort and indoor health, not just your energy bill.
Most Portland homes were built before modern energy codes, which means they often lack adequate insulation, air sealing, and efficient equipment. Our assessments are designed specifically for this older housing stock, helping homeowners and rental property-owners bring their properties up to 21st-century standards—comfortably and affordably.
The First Step Toward Smarter Upgrades
A Home Performance Assessment isn’t just a checklist—it’s a roadmap. Whether you’re prepping for insulation, exploring heat pumps, or thinking about switching to all electric in prep for solar, we make sure your upgrades are sequenced smartly and supported by every available incentive.
