The Balanced Home Badge can increase home value
Certified HVAC and plumbing systems cut utility costs and boost comfort. Buyers pay more for homes that save them money every month.
Balanced Comfort’s certification proves the home is well-maintained. Buyers see less risk, so they make stronger offers with fewer objections.
Badge-certified homes stand out in MLS listings and at showings, helping agents reduce negotiations and close quicker.
In California, energy-efficient homes sell for up to 9% more, that’s often $10,000+ above market price in Fresno.
The Balanced Home Program is simple. Our team inspects the HVAC and plumbing systems in your listing to confirm they meet energy efficiency, safety, and comfort standards. If the home qualifies, it earns the Balanced Home Certified Badge. We then provide you with MLS-ready language, marketing collateral, and flyers so you can showcase the badge in your listing and at open houses. This turns routine maintenance into a powerful selling point.
To earn the Balanced Home Certified Badge, a home must meet key standards: a properly fitted HVAC system under 8 years old, recent HVAC and plumbing inspections (within 6 months), a maintenance plan, a smart thermostat, high-efficiency filtration (MERV 13+), healthy ductwork, Aeroseal in Ductwork, and high-capacity registers.
These requirements prove to buyers that the home is energy efficient, safe, and well cared for, giving them the confidence to pay more.
There’s no cost to agents or sellers for joining the Balanced Home Program. Our inspections, certification, and marketing support are completely free.
If the home needs services to qualify, like maintenance, duct sealing, or filtration upgrades, those costs are the seller’s responsibility.
The good news: even when sellers invest in these services, they typically net more on the sale because certified homes sell faster and often for $10,000+ above market price.

"Ricardo came out to service my tankless hot water system. He did an awesome job showing me how everything works and explaining the need for servicing it every year. Not only did he service the hot water, but he showed me how to move the cover off my shower drain to clean it. I had been trying to take care of the drain issue for a few months now and he sis it with such ease. Ricardo knows his trade and is willing to share his knowledge with his customers."

If a home needs services to qualify, such as maintenance or upgrades, the seller does pay for those. But sellers will never overspend with us, and in nearly every case, the cost of improvements is more than covered by the higher sale price.
It's an investment: spend a little to qualify, and net thousands more when the home sells.
