Is yours a pre
1980 home?

   A typical Northwest home has to little insulation in the floors, ceilings and walls.  Homes built before 1970 may not have any wall insulation.

   These homes are currently wasting energy dollars unless of course they have been weatherized and insulated to current recommended levels.  The pre 1980 home, will probably not have adequate ceiling insulation and may not have any floor insulation.

   Adding ceiling insulation if needed, can be the easiest and least expensive improvement to your home.  Under floor insulation will save just as much energy as ceiling insulation so make sure your floors are insulated and don't forget to insulate the water pipes, it will save water heating costs as well as protect them from freezing.

Adequate wall insulation is often missing in older homes.  Heating ducts is another area that is often over looked.  Proper insulation  will reduce the amount of energy needed for space heating and help eliminate comfort robbing drafts.

If you had a hole in an outside wall the size of a basketball, wouldn't you fix it?

   Of course you would, espec-ially in winter.  But surprisingly many people's homes have the equivalent of a basketball size hole or bigger with various drafts, heat leaks, unsealed windows and doors and the like.

   RichArt can find and eliminate these wasteful heat leaks and uncomfortable cold drafts effectively and at relatively low cost.

   We are an established leader in home air leak testing.  Finding air leaks is as easy as pressurizing an area of your home with a "blower door".  The pressurized air tries to escape the interior of your home through the cracks, holes, around doors, windows electrical and plumbing fittings, attic access and other areas.

   We carefully test each potential leak area.  Leaks are detected using a small, highly visible stream of white chemical smoke from a special leak detection tool.
