Find out where your home is losing energy, and where it’s costing you.
Not sure where your energy is going, or if your insulation is even doing its job? A home energy assessment is the no-obligation, expert-led starting point for homeowners who want clarity before they commit to a big insulation project.
Whether you’re comparing fiberglass vs spray foam insulation, worried about off-gassing smells, or eyeing a DIY spray foam kit, our energy assessments help you avoid costly missteps and make informed, confident decisions.
What Is a Home Energy Assessment?
Think of a home energy assessment (also called an energy audit) like a check-up for your house. It’s a walk-and-talk-style visit where one of our local, building-science-trained Foam Gnomes inspects your home’s insulation and airflow performance, and flags where you’re losing comfort, money, or both.
This is different from a formal diagnostic audit (that’s our Home Energy Evaluation), but it’s the perfect first step if you’re:
- Concerned about comfort, drafts, or insulation quality
- Wondering whether you should install insulation yourself
- Curious about energy efficiency
What’s Included in an Energy Assessment?
Our home energy assessments typically include:
A visual inspection of your attic, walls, crawl space, and HVAC-affected zones
Conversation-driven insights into drafty spots, cold floors, or hot rooms
A breakdown of fiberglass vs spray foam and the pros and cons for your home
Honest, local insight on spray foam insulation costs in Louisville, KY
A clear, prioritized summary of your home’s energy weak spots
Why Start with an Energy Assessment?
The facts are, online advice is conflicting, DIY insulation kits overpromise, and not all insulation is created equal. With an energy assessment, we break it all down so you understand what actually matters for your specific home. A quick, professional assessment can save you from costly trial-and-error.
We’re not here to upsell, we’re here to educate. Our assessments include open, honest conversations about what works, what’s overhyped, and what makes the most sense for your home’s layout and Louisville’s unique climate.
Assessments are ideal if:
- You’re new to homeownership and not sure where to start
- You’ve had sticker shock looking at insulation quotes or foam kits
- You want to compare insulation types and installation methods
- You suspect your home is underperforming, but don’t know why
- You’re considering a full Home Energy Evaluation, but want a first look
