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.

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.
