Know What to Improve Before You Improve

Most homeowners call contractors to treat symptoms only. If there is a draft, you call a window contractor. If the house is too cold in the winter, you call an HVAC contractor to put in a bigger furnace. While most contractors can provide a quick fix and temporary relief, they are not looking at the big picture and addressing the true cause of the issue.

At IES, a certified HERS home energy rater will use the most advanced tools and techniques available to perform a comprehensive, whole-house energy audit. This systems approach and attention to detail allows us to go beyond the guesswork and symptomatic spot repairs. The results of the testing will identify the root source of your home's problems from which we will recommend solutions that will
provide dramatic and immediate results.

Heating and cooling your home uses more energy and drains more energy dollars than any other system in your home.

Typically, 46% of your utility bill goes for heating and cooling. What's more, heating and cooling systems in the United States together emit 150 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year, adding to the potential for global climate change.
