Brent Foster of Northwest Infrared will be at the Bergford house Sunday, May 5, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Bergford house is one of four homes featured on the Scott Homes and Northwest Energy Team Spring 2013 Tour of Homes.

HEATChatBrent is a local building science expert. He is the guy who can tell you why your home behaves the way it does (mold, drafts, high energy bills) and how you can fix it.

The Bergford house, owned by Scott and Pat Bergford is a 1925 kit built Craftsman farmhouse that has been undergoing some long-delayed energy efficiency upgrades this past year. Brent has been on hand to test the home and advise the Bergfords on what steps they can take to get the best return on their time and money.

So it seems proper to have Brent on hand for your visit.

Brent takes the line that buying all sorts of ductless heat pumps and motion sensor activated vents with humidistats and whatever other pricey doo-dad is never going to save you money. UNLESS! you do some basic work sealing up air leaks in your walls, roof and floors. And make sure your roof and floor insulation is adequate. Trust me on this, Brent is very happy to tell you how you can take care of these basic upgrades.

I really recommend stopping by if you are thinking of doing any sort of home improvement project in the coming year. Brent can give you some basic tips that, for little-to-no extra money, will make your home more energy efficient. He also can point you toward rebates from Puget Sound Energy. Sometimes just doing one or two extra things will qualify you for some extra cash.

If you are interested in more details on the Bergford house and the others on the tour, sign up for an email with all the details. (This email list will go away after the tour and no one will bug you any more. Promise.)
