Home Energy Audits for Kankakee County including Bourbonnais, Bradley and other surrounding communities.

Our home energy audits are designed to do two things for the home owner.

• One is to provide you with the information needed to improve your homes performance when it comes to energy consumption and associated costs.
  
  
• The other is to help you improve the overall performance of your home to provide a more comfortable, healthier and more affordable home.

A HERO Home Energy Audit by Carlile Home & Property Services Inc. will identify problems directly rated to energy loss; such as inadequate or missing insulation, air infiltration, inefficient heating and cooling systems, windows, solar gain. Other areas such as improper ventilation will be identified which is a safety and health issue because of the potential for mold growth and moisture damage to building materials. These areas are often identified in homes as excessive humidity and condensation present. Our Building Performance Specialist has extensive training and experience in identifying these conditions, evaluating and providing you with a comprehensive report and suggested prioritized list of repairs.

Your performance specialist will utilize state of the art equipment to pinpoint problems. Blower doors will be used to depressurize your home and then the interior and exterior will be scanned with a thermal imaging camera. You will be able to visually see the air infiltration around windows, doors, cantilevered areas and many other places throughout the home. The thermal camera will also detect improper or inadequate insulation. Thermal images will be places within the report alongside digital pictures to depict the exact location of noted issues.

Many issues identified as problem areas can be corrected by simple sealing/caulking and can be completed by the home owner. Other repairs may require upgrading of building components and professional installation, but all repairs will deliver a cost savings year after year for as long as you own the house.

The cost of a Home Energy Audit runs from $350 to $500 depending on the age and size of the house. This is a small investment compared to the potential savings energy repairs can deliver.
