Attic, walls, and crawlspace insulation depth and condition. We check R-values against current Michigan code requirements.
Air Sealing
Identify air leaks around windows, doors, outlets, and penetrations that let conditioned air escape.
Windows & Doors
Assess window and door efficiency, weatherstripping condition, and identify candidates for upgrade.
Attic Ventilation
Check soffit, ridge, and gable vents to ensure proper airflow that prevents ice dams and moisture issues.
Ductwork
Inspect visible ductwork for leaks, insulation, and routing issues that waste energy.
Utility Analysis
Review your energy bills to understand usage patterns and identify seasonal spikes.

Not necessarily. Utility programs vary; our checkup focuses on practical, home-improvement solutions you can act on.
Most visits take 30–90 minutes, depending on home size and access.
Basic access to attic/crawl areas (if applicable) and any notes about drafty rooms or comfort problems helps.
Yes—ventilation affects roof performance, moisture control, and comfort.
Yes—recommendations can be documented so you can make confident decisions.
Often yes—ice dams are frequently tied to heat loss and ventilation imbalance.
