Warranties & Guarantees Guaranteed results, backed in writing, from Phoenix duct & attic specialists
You choose the targets. We build the plan from your home's measurements. We put our name on the result.
Four guarantees, one warranty
Guarantees That Prove It, Not Just Promises.
Every number we quote is taken in your home before any work is proposed, and the plan is built from it. That is what lets us guarantee results instead of effort. Which guarantees go into your plan, and how big each target is, is decided with you.
- Each guarantee has a target you choose, written into your plan
- Each one is built from the measurements we take in your home
- If a result falls short, what we do about it is written down too
Free Duct & Attic Assessment, about 2 hours, with you present. We do not sell or service HVAC equipment.
Why we can do this and most can’t
A guarantee is only as good as the measurement behind it.
We measure every room, every vent, every door and the attic before anything is proposed. The guarantees are built from those measurements, with our name and your targets on them.

Your Assessment Report
The Plan Isn’t Guessed. It’s Built From Your Numbers.
This is what an assessment report looks like. Watch the Target column land, one line at a time, and the guarantee each target feeds light up. Plans that include the written report carry your rooms and your readings.
A · Room by room
How much air reaches each room, against what the room needs.
Measured at every vent before anything is proposed. The master bedroom was getting about half of what it needed. That is the room that never cooled. The plan’s target is nearly all of it.
B · The system
How much cooling the ducts lose on the way, and whether a closed door starves the room.
Leakage is tested on the whole duct system, the air temperature is read at the vent, and room pressure is tested with the door closed. The plan’s targets: air 8° colder at the vent, and a bedroom that no longer pushes its air into the attic.
C · The attic
How much heat the attic pushes into the house, and how much of it the ducts have to fight.
Insulation depth at twelve points, the wall tops where attic air gets in, and every duct rated by condition. The plan: the attic sealed and covered, and the ducts protected or replaced.
D · Written in
Every guarantee in the plan, sized from the readings, with you in the room.
The guarantees themselves are written into your plan: each target you chose, the reading it was sized from, and your signature next to ours. If a result falls short, tell us and we make it right, and the 100% Money-Back Guarantee stands behind the rest.
Every as-found line is a measurement you watched us take. Sample values are illustrative; when your plan includes the written report, it carries your rooms, your readings and your photos.
The Four Guarantees
Each Guarantee Has a Target You Choose, Built From Your Home’s Numbers.
Pick one, several or all four. Each one is written into your plan with its target, built from your assessment, and backed by the full terms below. Tap a target to see how the guarantee reads for you.

Resolution
Refund the full purchase price back to you.
Duration
This guarantee is effective for 1 year from the date of completion of your project.
Prerequisites
- All prerequisites of the guarantees included with your purchase have been met.

Honest limits
The guarantee is the target in your plan, measured the way the terms describe.
Typical results we quote elsewhere, such as leakage cut by 80 to 90 percent or air 6 to 9 degrees colder at the vent, are typical results from our jobs, not promises for yours. Your promise is the target written into your plan. We don’t sell or service HVAC equipment, so the equipment itself is not covered, and each guarantee’s terms say what has to be in place for it to apply.
What you keep
Your targets in writing, the photos, and a phone number that answers.
Your assessment report with every reading, the photos and thermal images, your targets and their terms in writing, the 20-year labor workmanship warranty on file. If a number drifts years from now, the assessment report is the baseline we come back to.
