Energy assessment: Save energy and prevent ice dams

An advanced home energy assessment, or audit, is your first step to preventing ice dams and making your home more energy-efficient. The assessment will use equipment such as an infrared camera to find attic air leaks and how to seal them.

A home energy audit can be arranged through your local utility, a nonprofit energy group, or an HVAC professional.

Once problem areas are detected, get bids from at least two licensed contractors to have the work done.

For more information on preventing ice dams, sealing air leaks, and adding insulation, check out the Commerce Department’s Home Energy Guide.
