Our Comfort Solutions

Attic Retrofit

The most important feature of an attic retrofit project is to prevent the escape of indoor air through the attic floor.
Fresh Air Systems

Build Tight and Ventilate Right is our Home Performance mantra.
Lighting

Comfort by Kodiak is uniquely experienced and qualified to provide effective conservation measures for your electrical consumption.
Indoor Air Quality

With the assistance of the blower door, pressure gauge, and infrared imaging, we inspect and evaluate your building's current insulation levels and the effectiveness of the installations.
HVAC Equipment

We determine the condition and performance of your existing HVAC and hot water heating systems, calculate a simple payback, and you decide if it makes sense to replace them.
Duct Sealing

Our technicians will permanently seal holes, cracks and gaps in your ducts with non-toxic mastics and caulks.
Crawlspace

Crawlspaces are critical air-leakage points and conditioning this space will increase the overall comfort of your home, making the floors above warmer and help lower energy costs!
Solar Energy

We will work with you to make your home "solar ready" before installing any renewable energy systems as clean sources of hot water, heating, and electricity.
Home Performance

Remodeling projects present a terrific opportunity to upgrade a home as a system and increase durability and energy efficiency.

"At Comfort by Kodiak, our mission is to save you money through reduced energy consumption, while simultaneously making your indoor environment more comfortable, durable and healthy.“

Welcome to Comfort by Kodiak, your full-service building efficiency company, serving the central mountain region of Colorado. Our mission is to save you money through reduced energy consumption, while simultaneously making your indoor environment more comfortable, durable and healthy.

Building science is catching-up with the building industry, and the science has revealed a unique fact of home performance and building efficiency: when energy consumption is decreased through air-sealing, insulation, proper equipment sizing and maintenance, and the proper use of materials for your climate, a myriad of other benefits present, primarily increased comfort, but also increased durability of your building systems. You can save energy and money without having to wear your sweater indoors, and so long as your contractor understands building science as we do, tightening your home means less energy flowing through your shelter, therefore increased durability.

And with rising energy costs, saving energy through home performance and building efficiency saves you more money every year. So, protect your investment in a way that pays you back, more each year, and keeps you comfortable in your indoor environment.

But the science isn’t simple. What about indoor air quality in a tight building? How do you know the priority of improvements in a multi-step approach? Why wasn’t my new home built to the highest levels of energy performance? With over 25 years construction experience, and a strong focus on building science since 2006, Comfort by Kodiak has the answers to these questions and many others. Through energy auditing and computerized energy modeling, and utilizing an array of diagnostic equipment, we offer prioritized recommendations for home performance and building efficiency improvements.

We hope you’ll take some time to learn about our approach to building science by reviewing the information presented at this website. Thank you!

Customer Testimonials

T. Michael & Anita D., Breckenridge, CO

After 40 years living in the swamps and deserts of the world, we decided we wanted to build our dream home in the mountains of Colorado. After narrowing our choice down to Summit County, we looked for a builder that would work with us from "concept to completion," work on a fee basis wherein the objectives of builder and owner were aligned, help us during site selection, due diligence soil testing and constructability evaluation, and help us with architect selection.

John G. Warner, DDS - Breckenridge

I had the pleasure of working with Comfort by Kodiak this past fall. They successfully bid and executed an Energy Recovery System at my dental office. The crews began the work on time, cleaned up after themselves and completed the project on time and on budget. The ERV system works well and I feel good knowing that my staff and patients are breathing better and fresher air in my office. Thank you for the great work!

Quentin Danziger, Q Consulting, Inc., Aspen, CO

As a Home Energy Consultant, I work with builders while the house is under construction. I inspect the framing, insulation and other components, to meet the certification requirements of Energy Star, LEED for Homes and BuiltGreen Colorado.

Jim D., Silverthorne CO.

I am extremely satisfied with the work that Comfort by Kodiak did on my house. The sealing and insulation in the crawl space noticeably improves the comfort level in the lower bedroom area. The thing I'm most pleased about is that the sealing in the crawl space reduced the radon level from unacceptable to below the acceptable level. The total cost of the work on my home was less than a bid to do radon remediation alone.

I also had sealing done on an attic space on the upper bedroom level which also noticeably improved the comfort level. The additional air leak sealing also cut the air exchange rate substantially. While not enough time has passed to evaluate fuel savings, the comfort improvement alone was worth the cost.

I was very impressed with the care and craftsmanship the crew demonstrated. It was a pleasure to have them do the work. Thank you to the Kodiak organization for this service.

Mike & Kathy B., West Palm, FL

Mike and I send the entire Kodiak team, particularly David, a huge congratulations for their build for us in the Ruby Ranch. For anyone who visits the Kodiak web site, with the pictures of our home, you will see why Kodiak was awarded “Best Exterior Design and Elevation” for our entry in the 2006 Parade of Homes. The photos of the interior reveal that our magnificent home was completed with care for every detail.

During a combustion appliance zone test, Comfort by Kodiak identified that our furnace had been "back-drafting" poisonous gasses, including carbon monoxide, into the supply ductwork from our furnace and throughout our home since the original installation. They replaced it with a new 93% efficient model, sealed the ductwork leaks, and added a fresh air ventilation system. It was a first-class installation, including the mechanical room remodeling. I have confidently recommended them to business associates, family and friends.

I want to thank you for the opportunity to help you recently with financial planning for your retirement. In addition, I'd like to comment on the home you recently completed up on Indian Brush Trail. I'm very impressed with the way the home turned out – it is absolutely gorgeous! Coming from a family with extensive background in construction, I noticed your attention to detail is unparalleled, especially for construction in Summit County. You do excellent work and I will most definitely consider Kodiak for my new home when I am ready to build. Just thought you’d appreciate the feedback.

George and Peggy K.

Comfort is indeed what they deliver. These fine folks performed a thorough home energy audit for us, including infra-red photography, which graphically shows where we were losing heat, and where the air leaks were. The house is a relatively new one, having been built seven years ago, but we could feel drafts in many areas, felt chilly in many areas of the house, and could see money flying out with the heat leaks.

Lisa L. & Wayne G., Breckenridge, CO

Just wanted to thank you for the beautiful work on the various additions to our house on Moonstone Road in Breckenridge, Colorado. We had heard horror stories about construction projects in Summit County, but you and your crew were the greatest. We know that our early 70's house and its topography presented some challenges, but the results of your work are just beautiful. The new kitchen, the enlarged living room, a big bedroom with closet space and all that deck have really improved the livability of our house - and the boxers all agree that they have the coolest dog house in Summit County. Thanks again for the beautiful job - all the more impressive as it was all done through the winter. We feel so lucky that you did the work on our house.

If you are considering trying to increase the energy efficiency and comfort of your home, you should definitely go with Comfort by Kodiak. Dave and his crew were very knowledgeable in their assessment of our house and were very thorough in finding the major issues and correcting them. It was amazing some of the places they found that were causing major heat loss. Dave and the crew were very conscious of keeping the house as clean as possible during the process and their impact on our daily home life was minimal.

It was a pleasure meeting you at the Burman home. Your company's attention to detail and craftsmanship is a tribute to your hard work, skills and background. Kathy's home is amazing.

Both June and I are proud to work for such a vital service that serves the wonderful people of Summit County. Good Luck with your many projects.

We were exceptionally pleased with the work done by Comfort by Kodiak on our home in Breckenridge. Not only have we seen our monthly winter heating bills reduced by over fifty percent (50%), but the overall comfort of our home has increased dramatically. We no longer have “cold spots” or cold rooms and the overall “tightness” of the house is exceptional. Even our guests are commenting on the changes in comfort in the house.
