Energy Assessment Services for Skagit, Whatcom & Snohomish County Homes

PNW Construction & Energy Services specializes in Energy Assessment.

In the Pacific Northwest, where moisture, cold snaps, and aging homes are common, energy efficiency isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. PNW Construction & Energy Services offers free, full-scope energy assessments to help homeowners identify hidden energy inefficiencies, improve indoor comfort, and reduce utility bills. Whether you're battling drafts, uneven temperatures, or high energy costs, our home energy assessment can uncover the real cause and point you toward rebate-eligible improvements.

What Is a Home Energy Assessment?

A home energy assessment is a comprehensive, on-site evaluation of your home’s overall energy performance. Unlike a basic inspection, it examines the systems that impact how your home uses and loses energy. Our certified team evaluates everything from insulation levels and air leakage to ventilation and combustion safety.

This isn’t just about saving money, though it does that too. It’s about protecting your home from moisture damage, improving indoor air quality, and ensuring your living space is as efficient and comfortable as possible.

What Happens During the Assessment?

When we arrive at your home, our goal is to uncover every opportunity to make your home healthier, safer, and more efficient. The process begins with a full walkthrough and includes optional blower door testing (if safe to perform). We use thermal imaging cameras to locate cold spots, drafts, and hidden insulation failures, especially in attics, crawl spaces, and walls.

We’ll also check for outdated or hazardous materials such as vermiculite insulation or knob-and-tube wiring, which can prevent safe upgrades. Our team ensures every inspection is both educational and actionable, so you fully understand the findings and your options.

About PNW Construction & Energy Services

Post-Assessment Report & Next Steps

Within 48 hours of your assessment, you’ll receive a full report that outlines the findings, includes infrared photos, and details recommended upgrades prioritized by impact and cost-effectiveness. These recommendations often include insulation upgrades, air sealing, vapor barriers, or ventilation improvements.

We’ll walk you through the report in plain English (no jargon) and help you understand what upgrades are eligible for rebates and what can be done right away for fast results. Our estimates are always free, and we never pressure you into services you don’t need.

Rebate Opportunities for Insulation & Efficiency Upgrades

Although the energy assessment itself is free and not rebate-eligible, the upgrades it identifies often qualify for thousands of dollars in rebates. Here’s what’s possible:

Insulation Upgrades: Rebates up to $2 per square foot, depending on area and current insulation

We help you navigate the rebate process and ensure all documentation is in place for fast processing and maximum savings.

Why This Matters in Skagit, Whatcom & Snohomish Counties

In older communities like Burlington, Mount Vernon, Sedro-Woolley, and surrounding areas, homes were often built before modern insulation standards were in place. As a result, many homeowners deal with issues like cold floors, moisture buildup, and high heating bills without realizing their insulation (or lack of it) is the root cause.

Modern insulation paired with air sealing can drastically improve your home’s thermal performance and reduce your carbon footprint. Our assessments are especially helpful in these counties, where seasonal temperature shifts, high humidity, and outdated materials combine to create costly inefficiencies.
