Home Energy Audit / Home Performance Audit:
An energy audit is an Unbiased, in-depth look at your home, not just an IR scan, walkthrough, or blower door test.
Unless a contractor has asked us to look at specific issues with your home, what we typically include in our energy audits as of June 2024, include:
Discuss your concerns
Air infiltration testing is commonly known as a blower door test.
Infra-red inspection of the home.
Ventilation testing measuring exhaust fan airflows such as your bath fans.
Indoor Air quality testing for health, comfort, and safety.
Combustion Safety Testing Natural gas, draft, worst-case depressurization, and carbon monoxide.
Discuss the findings with you and address your concerns
Provide a professional easy to read report
*Most Additional testing to get to the bottom of your home's issues as needed at no additional cost. **limitations apply
***When scheduling, notice that there are two audit options. One option is for an energy audit, and another is to take advantage of the IRA "HOMES" program.
Home Inspections:
A non-invasive evaluation of the home’s accessible structure, systems, and components. While a home inspection can’t reveal every concern that exists, it will provide a significant amount of knowledge about the investment you're about to make. We're also a member of the SE WI chapter of Internachi! The world's leading association for home inspectors.
Radon Gas Test Inspection:
Reducing radon levels in your home is a simple and effective way to protect your health. If you are concerned about radon, please contact us for a short 48 hour test. We can also provide longer testing times if needed and usually provide preliminary results when we pick up our test unit. We have also completed extensive training to get certified.
Mold and Air Quality Inspection:
Our inspection starts with what caused the issue(s) to begin with. Then we take indoor air quality (IAQ) and/or slide samples which are then sent in to a laboratory for expert analysis and reporting. Sampling takes less than an hour to complete so it's perfect to add to another inspection too.
This report is usually in your hands within 2 days! Mold tests only pertain to rooms/areas tested and seen at the time of testing..
Chimney Inspection:
Using the latest tech we'll not only do a visual check of the fireplace and chimney we'll use a specialized camera designed to view and record the inside of your chimney. This will find any number of issues or verify your fireplace is currently in operable condition.
Electrical Panel Mapping:
Curious as to why that breaker keeps tripping? Has there been a lot of work done to your home over the years, or are you planning on making improvement’s that include electrical circuits? Has your electrician told you that you’ll need a new sub panel? Among other things our panel mapping service could help save you some money on that sub panel and identify circuits that are overloaded, or under-utilized curcuits. Additionally, it provides you a new panel card to replace the old outdated inaccurate one.
Pre-Drywall Inspection
One way to ensure that a house is built according to its specifications is by performing a pre-drywall inspection. “Pre-drywall” refers to a phase during the homebuilding process just after the installation of certain elements – such as the doors, windows, foundation, flooring, wall and roof components, plumbing and electrical rough-in – and right before the drywall is hung. This in-progress or construction-phase inspection is useful because drywall can obscure some aspects of the interior and make identifying or fixing any problems both difficult and expensive, once the new home is completely finished.
Duct leakage testing and HVAC commisioning :
I use a state-of-the-art HVAC duct air leakage testing system to measure duct inefficiencies and find problems that aren’t always apparent to the naked eye.
Additional equipment and testing can be completed to determine inefficiencies in airflows and pressures that affect the performance of your furnace and A/C system.
You can also add-on one of our inspections to a scheduled inspection.

Radon test
Although radon is a naturally occurring gas in our environment, it's also the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the U.S., according to the Surgeon General. One out of 15 homes is estimated to have dangerously elevated radon levels. The Surgeon General and the Environmental Protection Agency recommend testing all houses. Millions of Americans have had their homes tested for radon, and you should, too. (48 hr test)
Gas leakage testing potential gas leaks:
Utilizing a professional-grade gas sniffer, we go around and "sniff" the home's exposed gas lines and gas meter. If a leak is detected, we'll apply a solution to the suspect area to verify if it is a leak and mark it for your plumber or professional contractor to come and fix it. (1/2 - 1 hour extra)
Chimney inspection:
A level-one chimney inspection includes a visual check of the fireplace and chimney without any special equipment or climbing up on the roof. The inspector will come to your house with a flashlight, look for damage, obstructions, creosote buildup, and soot, and tell you if the chimney requires sweeping. (1-2 hours extra)
IAQ (indoor air quality)/ Mold test:
We collect air quality (IAQ) and/or slide samples which are then sent into a lab for expert analysis and reporting. Your samples are read in the lab by both AI (artificial intelligence) and a certified indoor air quality/mold expert. This is an in depth report that also includes actual magnified pictures of the pollutants collected.
Expert air test analysis available:
The certified indoor air quality/mold expert who analyzed your test results from the air samples we collected at your home can be discussed in a 1/2 hour "1 on 1" phone conversation. This is an addition to the in-depth report you would typically receive from the samples we collected and an additional charge.
Energy Audit post test:
Ensure results are in line with expected results and retest the air infiltration rate and other issues necessary to measure improvement over the previous inspection.
Duct leakage test add on:
A duct leakage test is a diagnostic test designed to measure the airtightness of forced air heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) ductwork. This ensures that the air you just paid to heat or cool is put where you can enjoy it.
Electrical panel mapping:
Mapping or identifying circuit loads in your home’s electrical panel may seem simple enough, but are you sure it's correct? Our panel mapping service could help save you some money when you go to make improvements to your home by identifying circuits that are overloaded or underutilized, which also increases the safety of your family. Additionally, it provides you with a new panel card to replace the old, outdated, inaccurate one.
