"Dan did a great job of going through everything very thoroughly with me and pointing out a plan of remedy for the aspects of my home that seemed most significant to least significant. I would recommend him in the future for anyone looking to get an understanding of their home energy performance."

"Robert Moore was very knowledgeable and experienced when he did the home assessment. He knew exactly what our attic needed. Then when the crew arrived a week later to do the job they were fast and efficient. Best part was they were very neat and organized when they were performing the work. Would recommend Arc insulation to all my friends and family."

"Amazing job done by Building Energy Experts, Very professional, immediately introduced themselves before entering the house. Me being a woman at home alone means those details are very important. They took off their shoes on entering and they went to work efficiently installing the canisters with Retrofit lighting. What a huge difference this made in my home! Cave-like rooms became vibrantly filled with washes of bright light? They also did a little extra work for me without charging more. They were very clean, very thorough did excellent work and I would recommend this team. I remember the younger worker's name, Jason and I'm sorry I forgot the first name Of the more experienced person. Use Building Energy Experts by my recommendation to anyone any day and I will also use them again as soon as my back ordered items are in stock. Wonderful recommendation from Angie's list <br />"

"Jim came out and assessed multiple problems with the air sealing and insulation in three attics in our home. He clearly explained what Energy 360 would do to solve the problems. His crew came out and performed the work over two days. They were neat, polite and did a very thorough job- no problems. They arrived on time and completed the job on time, exactly as promised. I would use them again ....highly recommended! <br />"

"I would hire SAFE Electric again and again and again! They are prompt, responsive, fair, efficient, courteous, respectful, etc. I have the highest recommendation for this company. Their customer service is top-notch and I'm grateful to have a company I can call when stuff just stops working or if I need to upgrade my lighting fixtures. I appreciate how they explain everything that needs to be done and what they did. You will not be disappointed. It wouldn't be hyperbole to say it will be the best home repair experience you will ever have."

"Tech came out and took a look at the affected area. He began explaining to me what he would need to do to diagnose step by step. He inspected the upstairs bathroom and saw nothing out of the ordinary and he then said he would need to cut into the ceiling which I expected would have to happen. Throughout the process he explained what the next step would be, quoted prices on the different options depending on what he found. I felt through the entire experience he was looking out for the best solution and giving me the most value possible. I had questions about my water softener and he took a look at that as well, explaining all about them, did a water test, wrote a quote for a new one as he had showed me why mine is pretty well shot. The service, the professionalism, the care taken to explain the work needed and why it was necessary was extremely caring and I felt well taken care of every step of the way. Work was done with great care to not make a mess and none was made. When it is time to get the water softener I will most certainly use this company. If I ever need plumbing service for anything, this is the company I will call."

"Very well. Jeffrey came on time, did a thorough inspection (including talking us through what he was seeing and how big of a deal, or not, it was), and did some helpful education for us as first time homebuyers."

FAQs for home energy audit projects in Wheeling, IL

To prepare for a home energy audit, begin by preparing your space. Clear any obstructions around the attic, basement, ducts, crawl space, appliances, windows, and doors. Gather all your energy bills from the last year and information on home upgrades if you’ve made any changes. If you’ve previously had an audit done, include that information as well.

Finally, be prepared to discuss any questions or concerns you have. If you’ve noticed a rise in your energy bills, hot or cold areas in your home, or unusual sounds from ducts or appliances, make a list to discuss with your auditor.

How often you should get an energy audit depends on the age and condition of your home. New homes with no issues are recommended to get an audit every five years, while older homes should audit every two to three years. If you’ve noticed any changes to your energy bills or other areas of concern, you should get an audit as soon as possible. It’s also a good idea to conduct an audit if you’ve made changes or upgrades to your home, such as installing a new furnace, windows, or doors.

An energy audit takes three to four hours to complete. Your auditor sets up testing equipment, conducts an exhaustive walk‑through inspection, and performs all required evaluations to identify energy loss points. The audit follows a systematic review that includes visual assessments, mechanical tests, and detailed documentation, resulting in a precise report of improvement recommendations.

You can schedule a home energy audit any time of the year—it all depends on what's convenient for you. That said, timing it right can help you tackle issues before they impact your comfort and bills. If you live in a colder climate and want to avoid high heating costs in the winter, getting an audit in the summer allows you to make improvements before the temperature drops. On the contrary, if hot summers are your concern, a spring audit can help you stay cool and save on air conditioning.

To find a qualified home energy auditor, start by searching for local energy auditors with great reviews and recognized certifications like those from the Building Performance Institute (BPI). These credentials ensure they're qualified and can help you qualify for rebates. Don't hesitate to ask about their audit methods and schedule a consultation to see if they're a good fit for your needs. Doing some research upfront helps you get top-notch service and maximize your energy efficiency.

Once you have your energy audit report, it's time to take action. Review the recommendations and prioritize the upgrades that make the most sense for your home and budget. Reach out to experienced pros to get quotes and discuss how they can help. By making these improvements, you'll boost your home's energy efficiency, lower your utility bills, and enjoy a more comfortable living space.
