Twenty years in the field. Multiple BPI certifications. A Project Management Professional credential. And a single commitment: working entirely for the homeowner, with zero financial ties to any contractor or equipment brand.
Jason Dion grew up around construction and developed an early instinct for how buildings work — not just the systems inside them, but the whole picture. That perspective carried him through two decades working across the HVAC industry, from installation crews at Apollo Heating to geothermal project management at Dandelion, and eventually into home inspection and building performance testing under InSite Home Inspections LLC.
Along the way, Jason accumulated something rare: a credential combination that crosses the lines most professionals stay behind. He's a BPI-certified Building Analyst and HVAC professional, a Project Management Professional, and a former licensed home inspector with documented blower door testing experience. He's worked the contractor side, the inspection side, and the customer side. He knows how each of them thinks.
That perspective is exactly what InSite Advantage is built on. Jason saw the same pattern repeat itself in home after home — contractors sizing equipment for margin, not performance; rebates left unclaimed because the paperwork was confusing; homeowners signing contracts without anyone in their corner who understood what the numbers actually meant.
He decided to be that person.
Jason's background doesn't stop at HVAC. He's a former residential construction contractor, handyman, and landscaper who knows what quality installation looks like — and what cutting corners looks like. When he walks a jobsite during installation oversight, he's not reading from a checklist. He knows what he's looking at.
His comfort diagnostics go beyond the obvious. Using blower door tests to measure air infiltration and building tightness, duct assessment tools, and Manual J load calculation software, Jason finds the reasons a room runs hot or cold, why one zone never reaches setpoint, and why your system cycles on and off every few minutes. Problems that have gone undiagnosed for years often have straightforward solutions — if you know where to look.
Jason is a Schenectady native who is deeply invested in the Capital Region community. When he's not diagnosing duct work or reviewing contractor proposals, you'll find him with his family somewhere in the 518 — likely somewhere Lacey has already decided is her spot on the couch.
Every dollar Jason earns comes directly from homeowners — not from contractor referrals, equipment brands, or installation commissions. That structure isn't an accident. It's the foundation everything else is built on.
Jason accepts no referral fees, equipment commissions, or contractor incentives — ever. His recommendations are always based on what's right for your home and your budget.
Every sizing decision, every equipment recommendation, and every rebate strategy is grounded in building science and verified data — not gut feeling, not brand loyalty.
Jason explains every recommendation in plain language. You'll always know what's being proposed, why it's being proposed, and what alternatives exist — no jargon, no pressure.
Jason doesn't hand off a design and disappear. He verifies that what was installed matches what was specified — and that it performs the way it was designed to perform.
Jason's monthly and annual plans exist because HVAC decisions don't end at installation. He's available when your system needs attention, when you get a second proposal, and when rebate windows open.
Let's talk about your home, your system, and what it actually takes to get it right.
