No need to worry about the difficult parts of evaluating your home before your Home Energy Assessment. HomeWorks Energy’s Home Energy Specialists (HESs) can uncover critical but often hard-to-detect issues that affect comfort and energy efficiency during their visit. For example, one of the more challenging aspects is evaluating insulation—especially in areas like attics, basements, or behind walls—where access is limited and performance isn’t always visible. Detecting air leaks and drafts can also be tricky, as they may be subtle or hidden in unexpected places such as around windows, doors, ductwork, or electrical outlets. Further, things like proper air sealing require a thorough inspection and the right tools to identify problem areas that may be costing homeowners.
These complexities are why a professional assessment from HomeWorks Energy is so valuable—it brings trained eyes, diagnostic equipment, and expert recommendations to help homeowners make informed, cost-effective improvements!

But did you know that a little preparation on your end can help your HES dive straight into deeper diagnostics, making your visit even more valuable? Here are four easy, DIY checks to tackle before your assessment.
Quick DIY Checklist
1. Track Your Last 12 Months of Utility Usage
Make sure our HESs can easily reach your attic, basement, heating system, and hot water tank. Move boxes or stored items out of the way for a smoother inspection.
2. Clear Access to Key Areas
Make sure our HESs can easily reach your attic, basement, heating system, and hot water tank. Move boxes or stored items out of the way for a smoother inspection.
3. List Comfort Concerns
Write down any rooms that feel drafty, too hot, or too cold. Mention recurring issues like condensation, ice dams, or uneven temperatures. These details help our HESs focus on your biggest comfort challenges.
4. Prepare Questions and Goals
Think about what you want to achieve: lower bills, more comfort, or specific upgrades like insulation or new windows. Jot down questions about rebates, instant savings measures, or long-term improvements.
Why Prep Matters
A little preparation ensures your HomeWorks Energy HES can spend less time on basics and more time uncovering deeper energy-saving opportunities. You’ll get tailored recommendations and maximize the benefits of your no-cost assessment.
