Most new homes in Idaho are built without air-sealing or energy-efficiency testing, leaving homeowners vulnerable to hidden issues like air leaks, poor insulation, and reduced comfort that can increase energy bills and shorten a home’s lifespan. Although Idaho follows the 2018 IECC with amendments, builders are not required to test for airtightness—unlike in many other U.S. states. Ninedots bridges this gap with its Home Performance Test, using blower door testing and thermal imaging to independently verify how well a home is sealed and insulated. This process uncovers invisible efficiency problems early, allowing for timely corrections that improve comfort, lower energy costs, and protect against future damage. Choosing Ninedots ensures your home exceeds basic standards, performs efficiently for decades, and gives you lasting peace of mind.
