What is a Home Energy Audit?
A home energy audit is a comprehensive series of tests that inspect and measure your home’s efficiency from top to bottom to diagnose and solve problems at their root cause. It’s the first step toward lower energy bills and a more comfortable home.
What Does a Wisconsin Home Energy Assessment Include?
Here’s what you can expect when you schedule a free WHI energy assessment:
- Initial Consultation – We start by listening to your concerns, from cold drafts to humidity problems, so we know what you’re experiencing in your home.
- Whole-Home Inspection – Our team examines your attic, basement, exterior walls, and key systems to identify areas where energy is being lost.
- Infrared Thermal Imaging – Specialized cameras reveal hidden gaps in insulation and areas where heat is escaping.
- Blower Door Test – By adjusting air pressure inside your home, we pinpoint air leaks that waste energy and impact comfort.
- Combustion Safety Testing – We test your furnaces, water heaters, and gas appliances to ensure they’re venting safely.
- Moisture & Mold Assessment – We look for problem spots that can lead to condensation, mold, or ice dams in Wisconsin’s harsh climate.
- Results & Recommendations – Finally, we review your audit results in plain language, explain what they mean, and outline your best next steps.
You’ll walk away with a clear action plan, not a sales pitch, so you can feel confident about improving your home’s efficiency and comfort.
What Are the Benefits of Home Energy Audits for Wisconsin Homeowners?
Home energy audits can result in major financial savings for homeowners. After implementing our recommended remedies, many homeowners save as much as 20% on their monthly energy bills. By ensuring your HVAC system can run efficiently, you’ll extend its life expectancy as it won’t be working as hard to maintain your home’s temperature. Ensuring proper insulation and airflow can prevent issues like ice dams, mold, or condensation, extending the life of your home’s roof.
Additionally, by addressing the issues identified during your audit, you can enhance your home’s comfort (bye-bye to cold drafts and humid rooms) and improve air quality.
A home energy assessment will also provide you with invaluable peace of mind. Our combustion safety testing gives you insight into potential gas ventilation problems before they become dangerous. We also identify moisture and mold issues, which can lead to long-term health concerns.
