A Home Energy Audit Company That Understands an Older County Seat
Statesville’s housing stock skews older than most of the towns we serve, and that shows up on a lot of monthly bills. Homes in the Mitchell College District, South Race Street, and Academy Hill were built between the 1870s and the 1930s, long before attic insulation was standard and decades before central air was common. Homeowners in these neighborhoods are often paying for a house that has never had its energy performance actually measured.
Our certified auditors spend three to four hours in your home with thermal imaging and diagnostic testing, working through the attic, the crawl space or foundation, the ductwork, and every mechanical system in between. On an older Statesville home, that usually means finding retrofit ductwork routed through spaces it was never designed for, insulation that was never brought up to a real standard, and additions that leak air where they meet the original structure.
You leave with a written report that ranks every finding by what it costs to fix against what it is costing you every month. On homes this age, insulation and air sealing are usually near the top, simply because there is more room to correct than in a newer build. But we do not assume, we measure, and the report reflects your specific house.
“Our mission is to help every homeowner understand how their whole home uses energy, so the money they spend on upgrades goes exactly where it will do the most good.”

FAQs
Yes. Homes in districts like Mitchell College, South Race Street, and Academy Hill often face limits on exterior changes, so our recommendations tend to concentrate on attic insulation, air sealing, and mechanical systems, which deliver most of the savings without touching the home’s exterior character.
There is no firm cutoff, but homes built before the 1960s in Statesville very often show meaningful gaps in attic insulation and air sealing, simply because those standards did not exist yet. Newer homes can still show real findings, just usually in different areas like ductwork and equipment sizing.
Often, yes. Newer homes are built to code, which is a minimum rather than a target, and production construction commonly oversizes equipment and routes ductwork through vented attics. The audit tells you whether either applies to your specific home.
It usually makes the audit more useful. Every addition creates a new seam where old construction meets new, and those transitions are common places for air leaks. We assess your home as it exists today, including every addition.
Yes. Statesville has a mix of both, along with some slab-on-grade newer construction. We adapt the assessment to whatever foundation type your home actually has.
No. A home inspection evaluates the condition and safety of a house, typically at the time of sale. An energy audit measures how much energy your home wastes, where it goes, and what it costs you every month. They answer different questions.
Cost depends on the size and complexity of the home, since a larger historic property with additions takes longer to assess thoroughly than a smaller, single-era house. We quote before scheduling so you know the number up front.
Often, yes. Musty odors and persistent humidity frequently trace back to crawl space moisture, insufficient vapor barriers, or air leakage pulling in outside humidity. The audit measures those conditions directly rather than guessing at the source.
