About Home Energy Diagnostics

When you book an audit with Home Energy Diagnostics, owner Tom Testa will be the man on the scene. He is the founder and green heart behind Home Energy Diagnostics, and he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience with him to his audits and home retrofit plans that he designs and installs. His deep understanding of architecture and green building principles started quite awhile back, while studying architecture in Vermont. Tom became active in the energy sector, performing energy audits for the state as a part of their HEAT (Home Energy Audit Team) program.  With Tom’s passion for conservation and his background as a designer and builder in the private sector, and many corporate years logged in as Vice President of Facilities and Planning for Morgan Stanley in NYC, Tom’s experience is nicely rounded. Tom was one of the first 100 contractors to start working with the Home Performance program, and the advances in building sciences continue to make this area of expertise interesting and rewarding for him, even after all these years!

Back in the office, you will find Gail Testa running the show, her focus is on service and communication. Gail’s background as the Director of Service and Operations for Ralph Lauren and as the manager and owner of the well respected New Jersey restaurant the Cavalier Cafe have given her years of organizational experience that enables her to get things done efficiently and stress free for the homeowners.

Tom and Gail Testa are thrilled to be a Building Performance Goldstar Contractor participating with the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® program, making homes in their community more safe, comfortable and energy efficient never gets old, they love their work!
