Spring is finally here and temperatures are continuing to rise with each passing day. Winter is finally behind us, which has many Illinois homeowners looking towards spring cleaning and getting ready for the warmer days that are currently on the way. While this often gets equated with wiping down baseboards and paying a little extra attention to vacuuming the home, there’s far more to spring cleaning that tends to get overlooked.
Looking for a truly fresh start this spring? There’s no better way to get there than with a home energy audit.
What is a Home Energy Audit?
A home energy audit is a complete overview and analysis of how the home is functioning. The home is a complex system made up of a variety of different elements that work in tandem with one another to create a comfortable, efficient environment. When things go wrong, however, the home often stops performing up to par. Home performance issues can result from a lack of insulation or air sealing, as well as problems with your heating and cooling systems.
Once we’ve thoroughly inspected your home, we’ll come up with a report detailing our recommendations for work that can help to enhance home energy efficiency and create a more comfortable home for you and your family.
Indoor Air Quality & Air Loss
Many people don’t realize just how important it is to focus on promoting good indoor air quality within the home. The quality of the air you breathe can easily affect your health, and it’s an especially large problem for anyone who suffers from asthma or allergies. Your home is loaded with tiny cracks and gaps, which allow air to flow in and out of the home at will. Since you can’t control the quality of the air outside, you can never really have control over indoor air quality unless the home is properly insulated and air sealed.
Ventilation comes into play as well, as the home must be properly ventilated in order to ensure a safe environment for you and your family. A home energy assessment from Assured Insulation Solutions will address all of these issues and more, ensuring that home performance doesn’t suffer and that you and your family can enjoy a comfortable home environment.
