Northern Energy Controls | Home Energy Auditors & HVAC in Ypsilanti, MI 48197

An energy audit is the most effective first step. We use specialized tools like blower door tests and thermal imaging to find the exact sources of heat loss and air leakage in your Ypsilanti home. Often, uneven heating is caused by poor insulation, leaky ductwork in attics or crawl spaces, or an imbalanced HVAC system. Our audit provides a clear roadmap to seal leaks, add insulation, and adjust your system for consistent, comfortable temperatures in every room.

Absolutely. A key part of our audit involves assessing your HVAC system's health and airflow. Restricted airflow from dirty filters, blocked vents, or leaky ducts forces the blower motor to work much harder, leading to overheating and premature failure—a common issue we see. Our audit identifies these airflow restrictions and electrical issues, allowing us to recommend corrections before you're faced with an unexpected and costly breakdown in the middle of a Michigan winter.

Our audit is a thorough, room-by-room inspection that typically takes 2-3 hours. We'll interview you about comfort issues, perform a safety check on combustion appliances, conduct a blower door test to measure air leakage, and use an infrared camera to visualize hidden drafts and insulation gaps. We focus on the specific issues Ypsilanti homes face. You'll receive a detailed report with prioritized recommendations for repairs and upgrades, giving you a clear plan to improve comfort and efficiency.
