RHI is a Trade Ally of Focus on Energy and all our home owners receive an immediate 33% savings on labor and material costs. In case you did not know, Focus on Energy (FOE) is a program funded through a utility tax (from your utility company - WE Energies). Simply put, FOE will pay for a lot of work as long as you agree to have the job done professionally and with the use of scientific equipment. Understandably, FOE must be able to document how much energy is saved with each home that goes through the program. The science equipment we use identifies the areas where you are losing energy AND quantifies how much energy you are losing. That is where we come in! As an experienced insulation and energy efficiency contractor, we are approved by Focus on Energy to assess your home's energy efficiency needs. We use a rigid process of scientific evaluation, including a blower door depressurization test and scan of your home using a $5,000 thermal imaging camera. Don't pay someone else who will "guess" at what your home needs. Higher a qualified professional like us and make sure you capture the 33%-75% savings. When you hire RHI you get more work done at a higher level of quality and you pay less. It's that simple! We are a small company with low overhead. We have two dedicated employees, Tim and Justin, both born and raised in Racine and Kenosha, that work along side owners Rob Chumbley and Matt Kranich. This means a company owner is ALWAYS on site during the work. You will work with Matt and Rob from start to finish. You will first meet with one of us for a free cost estimate. Rob, Tim and Justin will perform all of the required work. Matt, as a BPI Certified Building Analyst will perform the pre and post home energy assessment. Call and ask to see if you qualify for a FREE home energy assessment and greater cost savings (75%) based on income levels. We are also dedicated to safety and quality work. As a certified Lead Safe and Asbestos Abatement contractor, RHI has the training and experience to keep our customers, their homes and our employees safe.
"Awesome job! Awesome crew! Crew is respectful, caring, communication was great, cleaned up after themselves, even gave some advice on some items needing to be fixed and fixed some things and they were funny :) I enjoyed taking to each one of them :) my daughter laughed as one was singing Christmas songs while working in the attic. For being in a hot attic most of the day, don’t know how you guys do it! Thank you so much, did a perfect job! I’ll be referring friends and family!"

An energy audit costs about $420 on average, ranging from $100 to $2,250, depending on the size of your home, property, location, and the tests the auditor needs to perform. Keep in mind that the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act’s Energy Efficient Home Improvement credit covers up to $150 of home energy audit costs. Common energy audit tests include:
Blower door test: $350
Duct testing: $100
HERS test: $375
HERS certification: $200
Infrared imaging: $200
To find a reputable energy auditor, find a local company that offers energy audit services. Research the company’s reviews, methods, and certifications to find a reliable professional in your area. The most reputable energy audit companies are HEP-certified by the Building Performance Institute (BPI). Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local energy auditor guidelines to ensure you’re hiring a certified professional.
The difference between an energy auditor and a home inspector is primarily in the purpose of the inspection. The energy auditor conducts tests in your home to determine the energy efficiency levels in areas like windows, insulation, and doorways. The auditor then makes recommendations for ways to improve a home’s energy efficiency.
A home inspector examines various structures of your home to determine that everything is up to code and gauge the condition of features like the roof, foundation, HVAC, and electrical. The home inspector reports on the overall home and makes repair recommendations.
Typically, a local home energy auditor is responsible for performing energy audits. A home energy auditor will conduct one of three energy audits designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to determine the energy efficiency of your home. The auditor often provides analysis that can help guide changes and improvements to your home for better energy efficiency, giving recommendations as necessary.
The three levels of home energy audits include:
Level 1: Review of your energy bills and home for signs of energy inefficiency and areas for improvement. The average cost range is $0.08 to $0.12 per square foot.
Level 2: A level 2 ASHRAE energy audit costs $0.12 and $0.35 per square foot. In-depth analysis of your energy usage and provides a report of cost-saving changes.
Level 3: Comprehensive analysis and detailed recommendations for ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency. A level 3 audit costs about $0.36 to $0.50 per square foot.
