Why choose us
Why choose us? People don’t hire us to make surface level updates like new windows or kitchen renovations. Rather, people hire us because they want to know the root causes of issues in their home. We use objective testing to diagnose the home. With us, you get clear answers backed by data. We prioritize educating you with factual information so you can make informed decisions. Home renovation money won’t be better spent.

Educational
Remember sitting in a college math lecture staring at the professor’s back while he did a complex proof on the board for the entire class? No thanks. We teach our clients the “why” behind the “what.” You’ll learn principles that apply not only to your current home but to every home you’ll ever occupy. This process is about both resolving issues and educating homeowners for the long term.
Reports
With our service, you won’t receive a confusing report full of numbers and acronyms weeks later and then be left to decipher its meaning. The results of our testing and analysis are not shrouded in cryptography. Our reports use analogies, comparisons, images, graphs, tables, charts, or explanations to illustrate key points we want to get across. Our reports are a teaching tools, not just a stack of papers that fulfills our obligation to the client. It’s not just about the numbers. We want you to get it and use creative means to deliver the results.
Thorough
For a special occasion, would you prefer to eat at McDonalds or dine at the Edgewater? With us, you are not a number. We’re all about the details. Unlike a quick in-and-out service, our services are thorough and meticulous, lasting at least four hours. We’re committed to thoughtful, detailed, and careful testing and data collection. We treat your home as if it were our own.
Personal (DIY) Experience
Been there, done that. Stephen, the owner of Madison Home Performance, lives in an all electric house right here in Madison. He had his gas service turned off in July 2022 and the meter physically removed in February 2023. He did nearly all the work himself. From air sealing and insulating to installing heat pumps and duct design, he did it. This is a real possibility for many Madison residents and he has the experience to tell you how. Find out more about his story here.

Hands On
We’re not just book smart. We’ve done the work ourselves when we electrified our own home in 2022. Goodbye gas meter, hello heat pumps!

“Without Stephen’s evaluation and analysis I would have wasted so much time and money by guessing at how to improve my living environment. Instead, thanks to Stephen, I KNOW what to do. Every penny I invested in Stephen’s detailed study—which he carefully customized to address my specific needs—was money well spent.”
Ann / janesville, wi
