EP HOME ENERGY CHECKUP™
Discover Where Your Energy Dollars Go
Michigan winters are harsh—and expensive. The EP Home Energy Checkup™ identifies exactly where your home is losing energy and provides a clear, prioritized plan to improve comfort and reduce utility costs.
Comprehensive assessment. Detailed report. No-pressure recommendations.
What We Assess
A comprehensive evaluation of every system affecting your home’s energy efficiency
Insulation Levels
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.
When accessible and safe, yes—attics often reveal the biggest efficiency opportunities.
Yes—ventilation affects roof performance, moisture control, and comfort.
Yes—air leaks are a common source of drafts, cold rooms, and high bills.
Yes—recommendations can be documented so you can make confident decisions.
It can—once scope is clear, we can provide tiered options and add-ons where appropriate.
Often yes—ice dams are frequently tied to heat loss and ventilation imbalance.
Many homes see improvement, especially when attic insulation and air sealing are addressed correctly.
It can—comfort imbalance often stems from insulation gaps and air leakage paths.
Yes—retrofit wall insulation options may be discussed depending on construction and access.
We can discuss humidity drivers and recommend practical corrections (ventilation, sealing, insulation strategy).
No—newer homes can still have issues like poor attic depth, bypasses, or ventilation problems.
Attic insulation upgrades, air sealing, ventilation corrections, and targeted comfort fixes.
If enabled, yes—financing may be available subject to approval.
Scheduling depends on season and materials, but many energy upgrades can be completed quickly.
To stop guessing—identify the real causes of discomfort and fix them properly.
