A Division of Home Energy Control, Inc. Founded in 1982

Residential

Residential InsulationHEC Technologies evolved from its parent company Home Energy Control, Inc., founded in 1982. HEC Technologies is a nationally recognized authority on insulation, acoustics and building envelope design.

Our competitive advantage includes:

  • Industry Knowledge
  • Professional Training
  • Industry Updates
  • Diagnostic Equipment
  • 28 Years of Experience
  • Highly-Trained Technicians

We work directly with homeowners, building managers, architects, acoustical consultants, building inspectors, product manufacturers, and general contractors providing:

  • Spray-Applied Cellulose for Walls
  • Blown Cellulose for Attics
  • Spray-Applied Polyurethane Foam
  • Air Sealing
  • K-13 Thermal Acoustical Finishes
  • Sound Transmission Control
  • Foam Roofs
  • Fireproofing
  • Pre-Construction Consulting

Our Process

HEC Technologies are experts in the understanding of 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 building’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 Building Approach

Most 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 complaint and uses building science and building methodology to formulate lasting solutions.

With AccuAudit, we have the most thorough 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 Building Approach combines a thorough visual inspection with non-destructive Infrared Imaging Technology. Infr ared Imaging is faster, non-invasive, accurate, and technologically superior in pin pointing areas of the building envelope that have been compromised.

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)

Building Science Diagnostics

We use Infrared Thermography and Infrared Camera Technology to diagnose a building’s envelope integrity including insulation, air leakage, moisture (mold), electrical, heating and cooling problems, and construction defects. Thermal Imaging is the most cost effective solution to identifying problems and building failures.

Eliminating Problems

HEC Technologies has developed solutions that eliminate home insulation issues and are cost effective to combat:

  • High Energy Costs
  • Building Design Flaws
  • Mold and Moisture
  • Sound Control
  • Frozen Pipes
  • Cold Rooms Over Garages
  • Poor Comfort and Drafts
  • Uneven Heating and Cooling
