Home Audit

Greater Comfort, More Energy Savings, Healthier Home

A home audit, also known as a home assessment, is the first step to making your home more comfortable, energy efficient and healthier. A whole home audit should be conducted before starting any home improvement or remodeling project.

An audit identifies why your home is drafty and cold, wasting energy or causing your family to be sick and unhealthy. We identify the reason, recommend the solution and then fix the problem for good.

Ask us for details on financial incentives available through our partner, Focus on Energy.

Plan Ahead

In preparation for your home’s audit, we recommend you do the following:

Have at least one homeowner available to accompany the energy auditor throughout your home. We encourage you to ask questions and take notes.
Expect the audit to take 2 – 4 hours depending on the size, age and condition of your home.
Allow access to all rooms. Make sure there is clear access to heating and cooling equipment, appliances and other mechanical systems. Remove ashes from fireplaces and/or wood-burning stoves prior to the appointment.
For the safety and well-being of your pets, temporarily relocate or restrain them. The diagnostic tests are harmless but can be scary and stressful for your pets.
Plan to provide access to one or more years worth of utility bills or energy usage.

What to Expect

During the audit, your Home Energy Solutions energy auditor will perform the following services:

Visual inspection of the interior and external of your home including attic, basement or crawlspace, insulation level and condition, windows and doors, existing HVAC and mechanical equipment, plus much more.
Perform diagnostic tests to understand the current condition of your home. The data collected is entered into proprietary software to help diagnosis, make recommendations and solve home issues.
- Blower door test to measure air tightness.
- Combustion safety and ventilation test to ensure mechanicals, such as your furnace and water heater, are operating correctly and sufficient air circulation is present.
- Infrared camera scan (optional) to identify air leaks and lack of wall insulation.
Provide energy efficiency tips, answer your questions and address your concerns.

After The Audit

Your energy auditor will provide a customized energy report highlighting the improvements and upgrades that are the best investments for your home.

They will also go over the incentives available through our partner, Focus on Energy, and help you prioritize efficiency improvements before pricing out the project costs, presenting a contracting, and completing the improvements.

I Can’t Say Enough About Home Energy Solutions of Wisconsin

My upstairs was unbearable during the summer and freezing in the winter.

Home Energy Solutions of Wisconsin thoroughly assessed the house top to bottom and explained the findings clearly and thoroughly and recommended sensible enhancements. The crew was very professional and careful. They finished on time and below budget

My upstairs is very comfortable now and my air conditioner runs a lot less. I am confident I will notice a big difference this winter.
