Most homeowners know that drafty windows, thin insulation, and aging doors can raise energy bills. But finding the exact source of wasted energy isn’t always simple. That’s where a professional home energy audit comes in. At Progressive Insulation & Windows, we use advanced diagnostic tools to uncover hidden air leaks, inefficiencies, and insulation gaps that quietly drive up your utility costs.
What Is a Home Energy Audit?
A home energy audit is a comprehensive assessment designed to measure how efficiently your home uses energy. Rather than relying on guesswork, a professional audit pinpoints problem areas using tools like blower door tests, infrared cameras, and duct leakage testing.
The result is a clear picture of where your home is losing energy—whether it’s through drafty window frames, poorly insulated walls, or leaks in your ductwork.
Why Air Leaks Are So Costly
Even small gaps around windows, doors, and walls can have a major impact on comfort and efficiency. In Southern California, where summer heat and winter cool nights often clash, uncontrolled air leaks can force your HVAC system to work harder year-round.
Common signs you may have air leaks include:
- Rooms that are consistently hotter or colder than the rest of the house
- Drafts near windows and doors
- Rising heating and cooling bills without increased usage
- Excessive indoor dust or poor air quality
Sealing these leaks not only reduces utility bills but also makes your home more comfortable.
