ABOUT US
Meet The CEO
My name is Tonia "Nia" Smith
I’m the owner and certified tester behind Power House, LLC. I’m a Portsmouth, Virginia native with professional certifications through the Building Performance Institute (BPI) for blower door and duct leakage testing.
I also hold a Combination Code Inspector license through the International Code Council (ICC), allowing me to perform official building code inspections. With over 10 years of experience in construction project management, facilities management, and building inspections, I’ve supported multiple municipalities and local contractors throughout Hampton Roads.
I founded Power House in 2023 to meet the growing demand for fast, reliable testing and clear results. I serve homeowners, builders, and HVAC technicians who need accurate testing to meet Virginia building code requirements. I look forward to meeting you on site.
