Building Performance Services’ priority is to reduce your utility bill, improve your indoor air quality, and your comfort. The best first step in energy improvements is always conservation... saving and containing the energy you are already using.  Repairing leaking ducts, upgrading insulation, and weatherization are the three least expensive, most efficient energy improvements.  Your utility bills will go down and your home will be more comfortable.

Building Performance Services also inspects for other very serious problems that occur in Florida homes and attics. Dead rodents and their feces, formaldehyde-based insulation and altered insulation, mold, mildew and/or fungal issues should all be removed to create a safe, healthy environment for your family.  These unhealthy attic conditions filter down through ceiling penetrations and affect the indoor air quality in your home.... You are breathing this nasty stuff.
