Questions, answered.

Usually, yes. Most efficiency rebate programs require a registered Energy Advisor evaluation before the work and another one after. The evaluation sets your baseline and produces the documentation the program needs. See our rebates & incentives page.

An Energy Advisor visits for a room-by-room assessment, runs a blower-door test to measure air-tightness, and inventories your insulation, windows, heating, cooling and hot water. That data produces your EnerGuide rating and a homeowner report with prioritised upgrades.

For a typical home, on-site work is usually one to two hours, and the written report follows within a few business days.

It depressurises the building and measures exactly how much air leaks through the envelope. It is required for EnerGuide, ENERGY STAR and Net Zero, and it is the fastest way to find and fix draughts. More on the blower-door testing page.

Yes. We do commercial energy audits and MURB assessments, plus smart systems and cabling for offices and multi-unit buildings.

No. Komado is an engineer-led energy advisory and smart-systems firm. We assess building performance and design and install low-voltage systems (automation, security, cameras, cabling, networking). Line-voltage electrical work is done by licensed electricians we coordinate with.

That is the goal. At handover you get training, documentation and admin access, so you can change a schedule or add a device without a service call.
