Milwaukie has its share of older housing stock along the Willamette, the kind of home that looks solid from the street but might be losing more heat through the attic and crawlspace than the walls ever show. A home performance assessment is how you find out what’s actually happening behind the drywall before you spend money guessing.
What we test. A blower door test measures exactly how much air your home is losing and where. Infrared imaging shows us where insulation is missing, thin, or has settled since it was installed. We also check airflow and humidity levels, and screen for combustion safety issues like backdrafting appliances, since older homes with newer, tighter windows sometimes develop ventilation problems that didn’t exist when the house was built.
Jumping straight to “I need a new furnace” without an assessment is how homeowners end up with equipment that’s oversized, undersized, or fighting a leaky building envelope it was never going to fix on its own. An assessment tells you what to prioritize, whether that’s air sealing first, insulation first, or the HVAC system itself, based on where your home is actually losing energy and money, not a generic checklist.
A written report identifying air leaks, insulation gaps, HVAC inefficiencies, and any indoor air quality concerns, along with a prioritized list of next steps. That report also documents what you’ll need to qualify for Energy Trust of Oregon incentives, tax documentation, or financing on future upgrades.
Assessments range from $450 to $600 depending on your home’s size and scope. If you move forward with HVAC upgrades through Resilient Retrofits afterward, we credit 50% of the assessment cost back toward that project.
We’re a licensed Oregon contractor (CCB #245539), and our founder’s background is in construction policy and housing programs, which shapes how we approach a house: as a system, not a collection of separate appliances. For a city with a median home built around 1967, that whole-house read is usually more useful than a quote for a single piece of equipment.
