Why Oldham County property owners choose HECS for Blower Door Testing

Local code officials, builders, developers, and program administrators across Kentucky trust HECS for third-party Blower Door Testing because we deliver:

  • NCI-certified field technicians — every HECS tech holds current RESNET Certified HERS Rater credentials. The person who takes the readings is the person who signs your report.
  • Fixed-fee proposals in 24 hours — not estimates, not time-and-materials. We quote travel cost up front, so the invoice matches the proposal.
  • Reports that pass program review — ENERGY STAR Multifamily, RESNET, NGBS, code-official review. We deliver in the format your reviewer needs.
  • Local code expertise — Louisville projects typically reference the 2018 Kentucky Building Code (based on 2015 IBC) with locally adopted amendments. Jefferson County enforces IECC 2015; new construction in the Louisville Metro must meet ENERGY STAR v3.1 for LIHTC-funded multifamily.
  • One project manager for the whole job — TAB, blower door, energy cert, FORTIFIED: we coordinate scheduling so you make one phone call, not five.

What does HECS do if the building does not pass Blower Door Testing testing in Oldham County?

If a measured value is outside the prescribed tolerance (e.g., ACH50 over the ENERGY STAR 3 ACH target, or duct leakage to outside above RESNET 380 thresholds), HECS documents the failure with photos and identify-codes for the offending building assemblies. We then work with your GC to schedule a targeted re-test of the failed assemblies after sealing. Re-tests are quoted at a fixed fee per visit (most projects pass after one targeted re-seal). Call (859) 983-7382 to discuss a specific failure-mode case.
