What is the free Home Comfort Check?
On any service visit or free estimate visit, our licensed technician checks 12 critical areas of your home: equipment, airflow and ducts, filtration, indoor humidity, moisture and mold-risk areas, fresh air, attic insulation, attic ventilation and the roof deck, room-to-room comfort, controls, the water heater, and combustion and venting safety. Afterwards you get a written summary of what we found and what we would recommend. It is free and there is no obligation.
What tools do you use for the check?
The tools a good HVAC technician already carries: a humidity meter, a static-pressure gauge for your ductwork, a flashlight for the attic and basement, and the data plates on your equipment. It is a visual and measured walk-through, not a lab test.
What is the Home Comfort Assessment?
A deeper, paid evaluation for homes that need it: a room-by-room load calculation (Manual J) and a detailed plan. When your home needs it, we arrange air-leakage and duct-leakage testing. The Assessment is priced in writing before we start, and the fee is credited toward your project.
Do you handle insulation and roofing?
Insulation and air sealing are installed by Airmax or a licensed partner crew. Roof repair or replacement is coordinated through a licensed roofing contractor, so the roof, attic ventilation, insulation and your heating and cooling are planned as one job with one point of contact.
Can you help with mold?
We look for moisture conditions that can lead to mold growth, such as high indoor humidity, condensation, damp basements and roof leaks, and we fix the humidity and ventilation side. If we note visible mold-like growth, we refer you to a remediation specialist.
Do I have to buy a package?
No. The findings are yours either way. Many homeowners start with the one or two items that matter most and plan the rest over time.
Which rebates can I get?
It depends on your utility, your current heating fuel and the work. Con Ed customers in Westchester may qualify for NYS Clean Heat heat pump incentives. Eversource customers in Greenwich may qualify for Energize CT heat pump, insulation, ventilation and water heater rebates. We identify the programs your home may qualify for and what each one requires. Program rules and funding change, and each program confirms eligibility.
Is financing available?
Connecticut homeowners can ask about Smart-E financing, which is subject to lender approval. Klarna and Afterpay are offered at our secure checkout, subject to their approval.
Do you do the electrical and plumbing work too?
Airmax handles heating, cooling, ventilation, dehumidification and refrigeration under our Connecticut license. Electrical work, generators, batteries, gas piping and boiler work are done by licensed partner trades under one plan, and we coordinate them.
We are building a custom home. When should we call?
At the design stage. Equipment and duct sizing should come from a load calculation on your plans, and tight new homes need planned fresh-air ventilation. Bringing us in early avoids oversized equipment and late redesigns.
