Residential: Home Energy Efficiency, Safety and Control
| HEC Technologies evolved from its parent company Home Energy Control,
Inc., founded in 1982. HEC Technologies is a nationally recognized
authority on residential home insulation, acoustics and building envelope design.
Our competitive advantage includes:
We work directly with homeowners, building managers, architects, acoustical consultants, building inspectors, product manufacturers, and general contractors providing:

Our Home Energy Efficiency Process
HEC Technologies are experts in the understanding of Home / Building Science Principles:
The study of heat transfer, moisture migration, and pressure differentials as
they relate to building envelope design.
Understanding this concept and treating the building as a whole system allows us to analyze the sub systems and how they interact to determine the root cause of the problem and implement the appropriate treatment.
HEC Technologies uses the most proven diagnostic tools in the industry to identify and correct your home's problems. The proper combination of applications for each issue is the key to permanently solving building problems whether in thermal, acoustic, new construction or retrofit projects.
AccuAudit Whole Home Approach
Most home / residential insulation contractors respond to customers and complaints about comfort, efficiency etc. by installing more insulation. They often miss the real cause of the problem. As a result the homeowner is left with a unresolved issue, less than acceptable improvement in comfort and continuing deterioration of building components. In some cases doing the wrong thing increases the problem or causes other issues of concern. HEC Technologies starts their analysis by asking questions to determine the root cause of the home energy loss complaint and uses building science and building methodology to formulate lasting solutions.
With AccuAudit, we have the most thorough home energy audit process on the market. We inspect each component of the house and recommend the proper procedures to make your home a more comfortable environment. HEC's Whole Home Approach combines a thorough visual inspection with non-destructive Infrared Imaging Technology. Infrared Imaging is faster, non-invasive, accurate, and technologically superior in pin pointing areas of the building envelope that have been compromised.
Home Inspection Equipment and Procedures:
- Blower Door
- Moisture Meter
- Mechanical System Review
- On-Site Building Dynamics Analysis
- Review of Building Deterioration
- Thermo Camera Inspection (Infrared Camera Scans)
Home Science Diagnostics
We use Infrared Thermography and Infrared Camera Technology to diagnose a home's envelope integrity including insulation, air leakage, moisture (mold), electrical, heating and cooling problems, and construction defects within the house. Thermal Imaging is the most cost effective solution to identifying problems and structural home failures.
Eliminating Problems within the House
HEC Technologies has developed solutions that eliminate home insulation issues and are cost effective to combat:
- Home High Energy Costs
- House Design Flaws
- Mold and Moisture in Home
- Sound Control / Acoustics
- Frozen Pipes in House
- Cold Rooms Over Garages
- Poor Comfort and Drafts within the House
- Uneven Heating and Cooling within the Home
