Find out exactly where your home is losing energy — and fix it before the next utility bill proves the point.

High energy bills in Albuquerque are rarely random. There's almost always a specific reason — a poorly insulated attic, windows with failing seals, gaps around doors and penetrations, or floors losing heat directly into a crawl space. The problem is that most of these issues are invisible to the naked eye. You can't see heat escaping through a wall. You can't pinpoint an attic bypass without the right equipment. At Rio Grande Building and Storage, we use thermal inspection to make the invisible visible — giving you a clear picture of exactly where your home is losing conditioned air and what it's costing you every month.

We perform energy audits and thermal inspections for residential properties across Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Los Lunas, North Valley, North East Heights, and surrounding communities. Our inspection process covers the full envelope of your home — windows, doors, attics, floors, walls, and any penetrations where air or heat transfer is occurring. After the inspection, you receive a full written report detailing every problem area we found, ranked by impact and with a clear estimate to address each one. You're not left with a vague list of suggestions — you get specific, actionable findings with real numbers attached.

New Mexico's climate makes this service particularly valuable. The temperature swings between summer highs and winter nights put constant pressure on your home's thermal envelope. Every gap and weak point costs you year-round — in cooling bills in the summer and heating bills in the winter. Rio Grande Building and Storage gives you the inspection, the report, and the construction expertise to fix what we find. We offer free estimates on all repair and remediation work that follows an inspection. Reach out today and let's find out what your home is actually doing with the energy you're paying for.

What We Offer:

Full Home Energy Audit — Comprehensive thermal inspection of your home's entire envelope — attic, walls, floors, windows, doors, and penetrations — to identify all heat loss and air infiltration points.
Thermal Imaging Inspection — Thermal detection of temperature differentials that reveal insulation gaps, air leaks, moisture intrusion, and HVAC inefficiencies invisible to the naked eye.
Written Inspection Report — Detailed written report of all findings following the inspection — organized by location, severity, and estimated impact on your energy costs.
Attic Insulation Assessment — Specific inspection of attic insulation coverage, depth, and condition — one of the highest-impact areas for heat loss in New Mexico homes.
Window & Door Seal Assessment — Evaluation of window and door seals, weatherstripping, and frame conditions for air infiltration and thermal bridging.
Repair & Remediation Estimates — Following the inspection, we provide clear written estimates to fix every problem we identify — so the audit leads directly to a solution.
