Improvements
By Johnson’s Insulation
Understand Your Home's
Energy Usage
• A home energy audit offers an evaluation of your
household's energy consumption patterns. It identifies
areas of inefficiency and pinpoint possibilities for
improvement.
• By considering aspects such as insulation levels, air
leakage, and appliance efficiency, the assessment
provides a detailed view of your home's energy
dynamics.
Tailored Solutions for Efficiency
• Following the audit, you receive a personalized
roadmap outlining specific actions to enhance
energy efficiency and comfort.
• Recommendations are prioritized based on their
potential impact, guiding homeowners toward the
most effective measures for maximizing savings and
comfort.
Minimize Drafts and Air Leakage

Enhance Thermal
Performance
• Insulation plays a crucial role in preventing
heat loss and maintaining consistent indoor
temperatures.
• The auditor may suggest adding insulation to
key areas such as the attic, foundation, or walls
to optimize thermal resistance and reduce
heating and cooling demands.
