Home Energy Inspections

Before you spend money on insulation or energy upgrades, find out exactly where your home is losing energy — and why.

High energy bills are a symptom. The problem is usually somewhere inside your home's envelope — the attic, walls, crawl space, or gaps around penetrations that let conditioned air escape constantly. Most homeowners in Athens and across East Texas try to fix the symptom by adjusting their thermostat or replacing their HVAC equipment, without ever identifying the actual source of the problem. A home energy inspection changes that. At Milo Insulation of East Texas, we go through your home methodically and identify exactly where energy is being lost, where air is moving when it should not be, and where insulation is failing or missing entirely.

The inspection covers every area of your home that affects thermal performance and air quality. That includes your attic, wall cavities, crawl space, and the areas around doors, windows, and mechanical penetrations. We look at what insulation is currently in place, how well it is performing, and whether moisture or pest activity has compromised it over time. Kevin Jackson conducts every inspection personally, which means the person walking through your home is the same person who understands insulation performance at a detailed level — not a general contractor checking boxes on a form.

What you get at the end of a home energy inspection is clarity. You will know which areas of your home need attention, what the most cost-effective fixes are, and what the expected impact of those improvements will be. There is no pressure to commit to any work on the spot. The inspection is designed to give you honest, useful information so you can make a confident decision. Call Milo Insulation of East Texas at (214) 673-8636 to schedule your inspection and get a clear picture of where your home stands.

What We Offer:

Attic Inspection – We assess your attic's current insulation level, air sealing, and ventilation to identify where the most significant energy loss is occurring in your home.
Wall Cavity Assessment – We evaluate whether your walls are properly insulated and identify areas where heat transfer or air infiltration is affecting your home's comfort and efficiency.
Crawl Space Evaluation – Your crawl space is checked for insulation condition, moisture presence, and vapor barrier performance — all of which directly affect your home's energy use and air quality.
Air Leak Identification – We locate gaps, penetrations, and unsealed areas throughout your home where conditioned air is escaping and outside air is getting in.
Insulation Condition Review – Existing insulation is assessed for settling, compression, moisture damage, or pest contamination that may be reducing its effectiveness.
Clear Written Findings – After the inspection, you receive a straightforward summary of what was found, what needs attention, and what your recommended next steps are.
No-Pressure Recommendations – Every finding comes with an honest recommendation. If something does not need to be fixed, we will tell you that directly.
