The Citadel method

Diagnose first. Recommend second.

Every Citadel project follows the same five steps, so the recommendation always comes from what the house is actually doing.

Five steps

Assess. Diagnose. Design. Install. Verify.

No guessing, no pressure — a documented path from symptom to solution.
  1. Advisor walking a homeowner through their home during the initial assessment01

    Assess

    Evaluate the home, the problem and the systems involved.

  2. Thermal imaging and airflow testing used to diagnose the cause of a comfort problem02

    Diagnose

    Determine what is actually driving the issue — not what is easiest to sell.

  3. Load analysis and improvement plan being reviewed on drawings and a laptop03

    Design

    Develop the appropriate improvement strategy for the house.

  4. Crew installing HVAC equipment and envelope improvements in a home04

    Install

    Qualified professionals complete the improvements you select.

  5. Final performance test verifying airflow, temperatures and system output05

    Verify

    Confirm completion and review the next steps with you.

What we're looking at

The whole house, as one connected system

Equipment, ductwork, insulation and the air barrier all share the same load. We map where conditioned air is going and where heat is getting in before we recommend anything.
