What Is a Home Energy Audit?
A home energy audit is a building-science assessment of where your home loses heat and conditioned air. Spray Foam Insulation Plus performs BPI-certified energy audits across the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro using a blower door test, thermal infrared imaging, and a systematic walkthrough of your attic, walls, basement, and rim joist. The result is a written report with a prioritized list of insulation and air-sealing improvements, along with the rebate programs your home qualifies for.
Minnesota homes are put to the test all year long, requiring massive amounts of energy to fight off the freezing winter cold below 0° days and the sweltering summer heat. That means every air gap and under-insulated cavity drives up heating bills for six months straight. An audit tells you which fixes deliver the most impact so you spend your money where it counts.
How the Audit Works
What Happens During Your Energy Audit?
Every SFI Plus energy audit follows the same building-science process. No guesswork, no upsell pressure.
Blower Door Test
We seal and pressurize your home to measure total air leakage in ACH50. This reveals the exact size of the air-leakage problem and pinpoints where the leaks are concentrated.
Thermal Infrared Imaging
A calibrated infrared camera shows temperature differences in your walls, ceilings, and floors, revealing missing, compressed, or incorrectly installed insulation you cannot see with the naked eye.
Full Walkthrough
We inspect your attic, exterior walls, basement, rim joist, and crawl space. Each zone is assessed for current R-value, air-sealing gaps, and moisture risk.
Written Report and Prioritized Plan
You receive a written summary of findings ranked by impact. The report identifies which improvements qualify for utility rebates and provides the basis for an accurate installation quote.
Your Deliverable
What You Get After the Audit
Most energy assessments leave homeowners with a vague list. Ours gives you a clear action plan.
A Report You Can Actually Use
The written report ranks your home’s insulation and air-sealing gaps from highest to lowest impact. You see exactly where your home loses the most heat, which areas to address first, and what each improvement is expected to do for comfort and energy use. No jargon, no pressure to buy everything at once.
The report also identifies which projects qualify for Xcel Energy rebates, CenterPoint Energy rebates, and city matching funds, so you know the real out-of-pocket cost before you decide anything.
