Schedule a Professional Energy Audit for Your Home

Are you unsure if your home is ready for the harsh Midwest winter or the sweltering heat of summer? Are you interested in lowering your energy bills while maximizing your home’s energy efficiency? If you answered yes, it’s time to schedule an energy audit with Metro Insulation.

What is an Energy Audit?

With American households spending increasing amounts of money on energy costs each year, many homeowners don’t have a clear picture of their home’s energy consumption. The first step in determining how much energy your home consumes is through an energy audit.

An energy audit is a detailed evaluation of your home from top to bottom where a home energy expert assesses how much energy you regularly use, shows you how specific problems are costing you money, and offers solutions to help you maximize your energy savings while reducing your carbon footprint.

How is an Energy Audit Done?

A member of our experienced energy audit team will begin by meeting with you to discuss your energy concerns and questions. Several professional tests are then run to check for energy inefficiencies. We perform a thorough room-by-room examination of your home—from your attic insulation to the seal on your garage door—to check for obvious sources of energy loss and inefficiency. Our state-of-the-art technology gathers hard data on your home’s energy performance by using equipment such as blower doors, infrared cameras, gas leak and carbon monoxide detectors, moisture meters, and nontoxic smoke pens.

After conducting the energy audit, our team may suggest simple changes to your home such as switching to more efficient lighting or sealing air leaks from doors to larger recommendations such as adding insulation or replacing windows that cause drafts in your home.

The Importance of an Energy Audit

An energy audit evaluates many parts of a home including insulation, HVAC and other elements that affect the structure’s energy performance and is an integral part of maintaining your home. Having problem areas revealed now will allow you the opportunity to make improvements that will positively impact your home for many years.



Investing in energy improvements can pay off in a variety of ways:

• Reduced energy bills – With an energy efficiency audit, the reduction in your energy bills will help pay for the improvements beginning day one.
• Increased comfort – When air leaks and other problem areas are identified, they can be properly updated and sealed. This helps maintain your home’s internal temperature and increases comfort for residents.
• Better indoor air quality – Sealing air leaks helps to keep pollutants out, helping to maintain indoor air quality. A home energy audit can also identify ventilation improvements to your home to help improve fresh air exchange.
• Environmental benefit – Reducing energy consumption helps reduce your carbon footprint.
