Find Out Where Your Home Is Losing Energy and How to Stop It
Many homes in our region are unknowingly leaking energy—whether it’s through drafty walls, poorly insulated attics, or hidden gaps around plumbing and wiring. This makes your home uncomfortable and drives up your energy bills.
The best way to start making your home more energy efficient and comfortable? Locate and understand where it’s losing energy!
Our expert evaluations combine advanced diagnostic tools with good old-fashioned building science to pinpoint exactly where your home is losing energy. Then, the Foam Gnomes will craft a custom plan to seal gaps, improve your insulation, and reduce your utility bills for good.
What Is a Home Energy Evaluation?
A home energy evaluation (sometimes called an energy audit) is a detailed inspection of your home’s thermal barrier, insulation levels, and air leakage points. It gives you a clear picture of how your home is performing—and where it’s falling short.
We use diagnostic testing equipment and decades of building science experience to identify the real causes of discomfort and high energy costs. Then, we help you fix them efficiently and permanently.
Areas and features we evaluate:
- Attic insulation & ventilation
- Wall insulation & thermal performance
- Basement or crawl space conditions
- Air leaks around windows, doors, and ductwork
- HVAC system interaction with insulation
- Moisture levels & potential problem spots
- Overall airflow and building envelope tightness
Why It Matters for Louisville Homes
Louisville’s climate swings from hot, humid summers to chilly winters, making it all the more important that your home can contain the air you pay to heat or cool. But most homes (especially older ones) weren’t built with today’s energy standards in mind. That leads to:
- Drafts sneaking in through walls, attics, and crawl spaces
- Heating and cooling systems that work harder than they need to
- Utility bills keep rising, even if your thermostat doesn’t change
- Moisture accumulation leads to musty smells, mold growth, and unhealthy indoor air
What’s Included in Your Evaluation?
We are a team of Louisville insulation contractors who don’t do guesswork. Our Foam Gnomes take a scientific approach to every evaluation, using proven techniques to gather real data and deliver real solutions. Here’s how the process works:
1. Comprehensive Inspection
We evaluate your home’s insulation levels from top to bottom—attics, walls, floors, and crawl spaces—checking for gaps, compression, or outdated materials.
2. Air Leakage Detection
Using tools like blower doors and infrared cameras, we locate hidden leaks where conditioned air escapes and outdoor air sneaks in.
3. Moisture & Ventilation Check
We assess ventilation pathways and look for signs of moisture buildup—two major contributors to poor air quality and energy efficiency in Louisville homes.
After your home evaluation, we’ll send you a detailed custom report with personalized recommendations based on your home’s age, layout, and condition that outlines smart steps to improve insulation, seal leaks, and boost your home’s energy efficiency from the ground up.
