Did you know that there are a number of energy efficiency incentives available in our state -- whether through utilities, municipalities or state agencies? Buying

your home was one of the largest investments you have made. Improving the "envelope" or "shell" of your home by adding air sealing and insulation is often the most cost-effective way to make your home more efficient and comfortable. Through the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Program, and Inspect It Right Home Inspections homeowners receive a comprehensive, whole house energy assessment and recommendations on energy-saving improvements, from an independent consultant, that are smart for you and your family. Inspect It Right Home Inspections uses a variety of high-tech, state-of-th-art tools to identify the key areas where your home is wasting energy, and recommend cost-effective improvements for maximum comfort, minimize energy bills, and optimal indoor air quality and building health and safety.

Testimonials

  • K. Platteter

    Mike was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and just an overall really nice guy! What could easily be one of the most stressful processes in buying a home was done with ease and left us with complete peace-of-mind. As newer homeowners with limited knowledge it was important that we found a credible inspector to make up for what we lacked - and we found that and much more in Mike! You can be sure "no stone will be left unturned" and not only are you left feeling as though you have a firm grasp on your future investment, he really makes your inspection enjoyable and an educational process that allows you to get to know your future home, beneficial improvements and energy efficient changes that could be made, things to watch, consider and budget for in the future and so much more! He not only covered us to get through the purchase of our home, but for many many years to come! Mike would be my top recommendation to anyone looking!
