At Eco Performance Builders, we’re taking the Coronavirus situation seriously. We don’t want you or our people getting sick. If you are sick or think you may have been infected, please tell us about it immediately so we can keep our people safe. As for us, here are the actions we’re taking to make sure you feel safe with us working on your home.
- We’re having daily talk with our team to make sure everyone is feeling well and hasn’t been exposed to any infected person.
- All personnel have been trained on best practices for transmission prevention CDC guidelines.
- We have strict rules in place for coming to work sick. If anyone has a fever, is showing signs of illness, or have had contact with someone who has the Coronavirus, they are not allowed at work.
- Extra paid sick leave. Each employee has 9 days paid sick leave, which is 3 times the amount the state requires. They can also use their general PTO if the sick leave is gone. If any employee goes over that amount and is still sick, we offer light duty, stay at home, online training for the HVAC and insulation trades.
- Staying out of the house unless necessary
- 99% of our work is done in your attic and crawlspace. We can further minimize our presence inside the house by discussing options for cutting attic and crawlspace access points in garage ceilings and on the outside of the home. This brings foot traffic down to a minimum into your home. The only times we would really need to be in your home is to tape grilles, commission the HVAC system, perform some final testing near the end of the project, and in some cases do dust containment for new boot cut ins. When we do need to come in your home, we are all equipped with booties, gloves, and respirators.
- We also use HEPA vacuums and dust management strategies to keep all particulates to a minimum.
- We always give the option to have a porta-potty brought to your house which will also reduce unnecessary foot traffic in your home.
- All personnel have been trained on sanitary processes to minimize the spread of germs and viruses.
- The work we are doing is only going to improve the air quality in your home with these basic principles:
- After the project, less particulates will enter your home from the attic and crawlspace, because we will be air sealing these spaces. This will be eliminating any interaction between the house itself and these spaces.
- The new duct system that we install will have a zero measurable leakage rate (the state average is 30% and code allows 5%). This will greatly reduce the risk of contaminants and particulates coming into the duct system and into your home.
- High MERV and HEPA filtration options. Our systems are designed to be able to use high filtration filters while still having great system performance.
- Ventilation systems that continually clear the stale and unhealthy air from your home, and introduce fresh air from the outside at the same time. Our air quality & ventilation systems will ensure that your home always has fresh, filtered, clean air.
I believe that our commitment to health, cleanliness and ability to minimize the work being performed on the inside of your home will lead to a safe project for everyone. We are continually monitoring the situation and if changes, we will adjust our approach accordingly.
If you don’t feel safe with us working on your home, we completely understand and can reschedule your project. Please reach out to us as soon as possible so we can arrange our schedule accordingly.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at 925-363-4498
