A professional energy assessment (audit) provides an analysis of the safety and efficiency of your home’s airflow and heating/cooling systems. Undiagnosed air leaks, inadequate insulation, improper ventilation, faulty combustion appliances and leaky gas pipes not only waste energy and money, but can also cause health and safety problems. Therefore, a professional energy assessment should be part of every homeowner’s building maintenance and should be repeated whenever major improvements are made (such as room additions, attic/basement remodeling, multiple new windows) to ensure the house maintains proper ventilation and air sealing.

Assessments
Chicago area Green Energy Improvement
offers two levels of energy
evaluations/assessments to meet your
home’s needs, as well as zonal testing
and duct leakage testing. For most
homes, a home performance evaluation
provides ample information to determine
recommendations for improving your
home’s comfort, safety and energy
efficiency. An energy assessment
(including a blower door test-in/test-out
and diagnostic safety testing of all
combustion appliances) will be done at no
additional charge when the air sealing and
insulation work is performed. If the cause
of uneven heat distribution cannot be
determined through these tests, zonal and
duct leakage tests may be suggested.
Though customers are under no obligation
to proceed with the recommended work,
those who do save an average 20% of
heating and cooling costs according to
EPA estimates.
