Home performance assessment in Metro Detroit: what to expect
A home performance assessment treats the house as one system. Beyond energy use, it looks at comfort, moisture, ventilation, indoor air and combustion safety, and how fixing one issue affects the others. It is the deeper cousin of a standard home energy audit and often includes energy modeling.
It is especially useful in older Metro Detroit homes with damp basements, ice dams, cold upstairs rooms or a mix of old and new equipment, and before major renovations. State and utility programs use assessments like this: Michigan Home Energy Rebates (MiHER) starts with a home assessment by a registered contractor. For just one test, see blower door testing.
What a proper job includes
- Interview about comfort, moisture and bill concerns
- Blower door test and air leakage mapping
- Combustion safety and carbon monoxide checks
- Insulation, moisture and ventilation review
- Duct system and HVAC equipment evaluation
- Energy modeling of recommended upgrades
- Written plan with priorities and sequencing
What drives the price
- Home size, age and complexity
- Duct and ventilation testing added
- Energy modeling for a program or rebate
- Moisture or indoor air investigation
- Program paperwork requirements
- Retest after the work is finished

Credentials and rebates in Michigan
The state MiHER program, run by EGLE, uses registered contractors whose assessors hold credentials such as BPI or RESNET certifications. New income-qualified applications have been paused in some districts, including Detroit and Warren, so check current status. DTE Energy and Consumers Energy also run assessment programs; confirm eligibility with your utility.
Michigan does not issue a state license specific to energy auditing, so ask about national credentials. The state's Home Energy Rebates program accepts auditors with credentials such as BPI Building Analyst, BPI Energy Auditor or a RESNET HERS Rater certification. Any insulation, HVAC or electrical work that follows is done by contractors holding the LARA license for that trade, with permits where required.
