In order to increase the energy efficiency of your Kentwood, MI, home, it's important to understand how your home's systems function on their own and how they work together. Your courteous and patient WellHome Advisor will first look at all of your home's different components and then discuss with you in detail the results of your home energy audit. Having a home assessment done by the WellHome team puts your Byron, Gaines, Cutlerville or Caledonia home at an advantage because our comprehensive energy audit may determine any and all causes of your home's energy-draining issue.

One of the first steps to determining your home's insulation levels is by looking in the attic. If there is little or no insulation in your Cutlerville home's attic, your home is losing energy. Once additional insulation is installed or added to your attic, your home's energy savings will increase.

Conditioned air shouldn't escape through the space around where a water pipe leaves your home, through a gap in a door frame, or through a drafty window. Air should leave the rooms of your home the same way it came in, through a system of ducts. The answer to better home performance can be basic, like applying caulk to areas where conditioned air is escaping from your home. All parts of a house should work together for maximum home performance.

When ducts are tight, air pressure is consistent and an even amount of conditioned air enters all rooms of your house. So, duct tightening can help address room-to-room variations in temperature. WellHome service providers know where and how to tighten duct work, update duct work, and make other simple fixes. Sometimes the smart solution is not necessarily expensive nor high-tech.
