Home Performance Audit
Our Home Performance Audit evaluates energy usage and identifies inefficiencies through detailed assessments. Technicians use advanced tools to measure heat loss, air leaks, and insulation gaps, providing personalized recommendations. This service helps homeowners prioritize upgrades like insulation or air sealing to reduce bills and improve comfort. Results include actionable steps for achieving long-term energy savings.
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation creates an airtight barrier by expanding to fill cracks and gaps. This method reduces drafts, moisture infiltration, and energy loss in attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists. Closed-cell foam also acts as a pest deterrent while improving HVAC efficiency. Ideal for Wisconsin's climate, it offers superior R-value and long-term durability.
Blown-In Insulation
Blown-in cellulose insulation delivers high R-value and fire resistance for attics and hard-to-reach areas. This eco-friendly material reduces energy costs by minimizing heat transfer. Installed quickly with minimal disruption, it adapts to irregular spaces and complements existing insulation for optimal thermal performance.
Air Sealing
Air sealing targets gaps around windows, doors, and ductwork to eliminate energy leaks. By reducing drafts and improving indoor air quality, this service enhances HVAC efficiency and lowers utility bills. Techniques include caulk, spray foam, and weatherstripping to create a tighter building envelope.
Crawl Space Insulation
Crawl space insulation blocks cold air and moisture intrusion, preventing mold growth and frozen pipes. We use spray foam or rigid insulation to seal these areas, improving floor comfort and reducing heating costs. Proper insulation also contributes to better indoor air quality by minimizing dampness.
Questions
What is a home energy audit?
A home energy audit assesses energy usage and identifies inefficiencies through thermal imaging, blower door tests, and visual inspections. Results guide upgrades to improve comfort and reduce utility costs.
How can insulation lower energy bills?
Proper insulation reduces heat transfer, keeping homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This decreases HVAC workload, lowering energy consumption and utility bills by up to 20%.
What insulation types do you install?
We install spray foam, blown-in cellulose, fiberglass batts, and rigid foam board. Each type offers unique benefits for attics, walls, crawl spaces, and rim joists.
Are energy rebates available?
Yes! We help customers qualify for Focus on Energy rebates, 25C tax credits, and HOMES Act incentives to reduce upfront costs for insulation and efficiency upgrades.
How long does insulation installation take?
Most projects complete in 1-2 days. Attic or crawl space work may take a few hours. We prioritize minimal disruption and clean up after installation.
What certifications do your technicians hold?
Our team holds Building Performance Institute (BPI) certification and Pearl Certification credentials, ensuring expertise in energy-efficient home performance solutions.

Report
To be fair, I think the guys who came to do the work were very nice, prompt, and respectful of our home. What upsets me, is that when the work was quoted two things happened: 1. The man who came (who was also very nice) didnt inspect the attic. 2. We knew we just wanted a vent insulated, but because the attic wasnt inspected, we were shamed into a different repair altogether - which of course was unnecessary and didnt happen once the guys got here - but completely misrepresented the value of work we were signing on for. I wouldve definitely hired a different company that doesnt charge

I scheduled a complimentary home audit, when the day came nobody showed up. I called them the next day, and they said they had technical difficulties with their computer system. I scheduled another audit (3 weeks later because they are busy), and again, the auditor was a no-show. I understand that there is only one person who does the free audit and that he is booked weeks out. It would've been nice to have gotten a phone call to tell me that he is not coming. I've had to rearrange two of my weekdays around now only to have nothing come of it.

100% recommend this company. We have put extensive renovations into our home the past few years and have had dozens of contractors and workers in our house. These folks by FAR and away are the best choice we have ever made. Not only were they on time every day, they did an extraordinary and thorough job with insulating and rebuilding access in our complex attic and crawl spaces and cleaned up so well each of the four days they were here that it was as though nobody had been here at all. They were kind and respectful, and I could not have been more pleased with the job they did. Im honestly pretty
