Home Energy Audits
Whether you have high bills, comfort issues, or just want to be more energy efficient, a certified Home Energy Audit is the place the start. We pinpoint energy problems at the source with advanced tools, eliminating the guesswork, and allowing us to recommend the most affordable cost-cutting solutions. Better yet, our home energy audit qualifies you for huge rebates from your local utility (Consumers Energy or DTE/Michcon)!

Thermal imaging
A thermal image will show exactly where energy escapes through gaps in insulation and windows. Images are taken of the attic, exterior walls of a home, and throughout the home. In the winter, we can identify heat escaping from the home, while in the summer, we can see heat penetrating the home. Thermal imaging is used in conjunction with the Blower Door test to identify heat leaking in or out of the home. We include notable thermal images in our Home Energy Report.
Blower door testing
This test helps to identify air leakage, moisture condensation problems, and contamination caused by indoor air pollution. The Blower Door is a powerful fan that mounts into the frame of an exterior door. The fan pulls air out of the house, lowering the air pressure inside, exaggerating any leaks in the home.
Once the leaks are identified, the areas should be caulked or resealed to help maintain proper insulation in your home.__
Health & Safety Testing:
Your family’s safety is our #1 concern. That is why we include Health & Safety Testing as part of our standard home energy audit. (See the Safety Testing page for more details.) These tests do not directly relate to energy efficiency, but we want to ensure that your home is safe before recommending that you seal it up. We perform these tests free of charge.
Rebate/Tax Credit Assistance:
There are many ways to receive money back from the government for making energy improvements to your home. These programs can be a bit confusing if you have never encountered them before. Don’t fret! After analyzing your home, we will identify exactly which government rebates and tax credits you qualify for. Then, we even fill out the paperwork for you and ensure everything is submitted properly.
Visit the Government Incentives page to learn more about what types of rebates and tax credits are currently available.
