Professional Services
SystemIQ works with homeowners, builders, architects and project professionals on custom homes, major rebuilds, substantial renovations, and existing homes with a problem nobody has been able to solve.
We evaluate the property, the plans, the building conditions and how the home is used before recommending what should be designed, changed or corrected.
Measure first. Then fix.
Based in Tennessee. Regional and select travel projects considered by scope.
For the house problem nobody has been able to solve.
Humidity, condensation, rooms out of step with the rest of the house, a new system and the same old complaint. Other contractors have usually been out already. The workup is an independent evaluation and a written account of what it found.
The report is the product.
Building, rebuilding or substantially renovating?
SystemIQ helps owners and their project teams make the critical mechanical decisions while there is still time to influence the outcome: mechanical space, air distribution, humidity, ventilation, filtration, future needs and serviceability.
The equipment is the result of the plan, not the beginning of it.
Independent verification across the life of the home.
Pre-drywall review, commissioning before turnover, warranty investigation after closing, and a clean handoff to the homeowner when the warranty ends. Findings go to the builder in full, including the ones showing the system is performing correctly.
We measure. We do not bid against your mechanical contractor.
We don't start with equipment.We start with the home.
A load calculation, a humidity reading, a static pressure measurement, an equipment model number and an architectural drawing are all useful information. No single one of them tells the whole story.
SystemIQ looks at how the building, the mechanical system, the site, the plans and the intended use fit together before deciding on a direction.
SystemIQ is paid for the evaluation, not for what it finds. Findings are reported in full, and the report says which statements were measured, which are reasoned from the measurements, and which are still open.
Repairs have been made, sometimes more than once, and the condition returns. Nobody has measured anything.
The structure is open and the important mechanical decisions can still be made before construction limits the options.
The mechanical system needs to fit the architecture, the building and how the home will be lived in.
A builder, architect, environmental professional, inspector, attorney or other specialist needs the mechanical side evaluated as part of a larger matter.
Start here
Start with a Diagnostic Workup, followed by written findings.
About the Diagnostic WorkupStart with a Project Review: a paid conversation and a review of the plans and reports available, done remotely when that is enough. A Site Assessment may follow.
How Custom Projects beginEach step is defined and priced before it starts. The scope stops where the project needs it to stop.
Establish what the home and the project require mechanically.
Develop the mechanical strategy and the project requirements.
Keep field decisions aligned with the design as the project is built.
Measure the completed work against the intended outcome.
SystemIQ is based in Tennessee.
For regional and select travel projects, our role is defined according to the project scope, the location, the applicable requirements, and the involvement of appropriately licensed local professionals where required.
Installation, repair and service work is performed in the Chattanooga area.
Remote when that's enough. On site when the building matters.
If you are building, rebuilding, substantially renovating, or dealing with a residential mechanical problem deserving more than a routine HVAC approach, start by telling us about it.
