1. Energy Audit & Home Assessment
We begin with a detailed energy audit to understand your home’s energy use. Using blower door tests, infrared imaging, and advanced diagnostics, we identify air leaks, insulation gaps, and inefficiencies in heating, cooling, and ventilation systems.
2. Customized Retrofit Plan
Based on the audit results and your goals, we create a tailored deep energy retrofit plan. This includes targeted upgrades such as high-performance insulation, air sealing, window replacements, heat pump systems, and solar integration; all designed to work together for optimal performance.
3. Project Coordination & Installation
Our team handles every detail of the retrofit process, including installation, sourcing of sustainable materials, and ensuring each phase meets the highest energy-efficiency standards. We prioritize minimizing disruption while maximizing results.
4. Quality Assurance & Final Testing
Once work is complete, we return to test and verify performance improvements. You’ll receive a post-retrofit energy assessment showing the measurable gains in efficiency, comfort, and indoor air quality.
5. Long-Term Support
We stand behind our work. As a local Vermont company, we offer continued support, maintenance guidance, and upgrades over time to ensure your home remains energy-efficient for decades.
What is a Deep Energy Retrofit?
A deep energy retrofit is a whole-building approach to energy efficiency that significantly reduces a home’s energy use. Unlike surface-level upgrades, deep retrofits address a building’s thermal envelope, insulation, windows, heating and cooling systems, and more. At Building Energy, we specialize in implementing customized deep energy retrofits that transform Vermont homes into high-performance, energy-efficient spaces. Our services are designed to align with your comfort goals while advancing your commitment to sustainability.
Understanding that deep energy retrofit costs can feel overwhelming, our team provides transparent guidance and phased planning to make these comprehensive upgrades accessible. Many Vermont homeowners realize long-term savings through reduced utility bills, tax credits, and increased home value. Our goal is to help you get the most out of every dollar with holistic renewable energy solutions services that work in synergy with deep retrofit strategies.

Hear From Our Customers
We had a very positive experience with Building Energy and I would recommend them to everyone! They were communicative and prompt and professional every step of the way, from the initial communications with the office manager, to the scheduling of the energy assessment and the energy upgrades project, to post-project follow-ups regarding the rebates.
Whenever I had questions or concerns at any step, they were there to answer my questions. The staff are very knowledgeable and were a wealth of information about how to improve the energy efficiency of our home, both in the short term and long term.
They completed the work within the planned time frame, and we’re very happy with the improvements that they’ve completed– the upgrades have made a big difference in the efficiency and comfort of our home, and we’re already seeing improvements with our energy bills!
