AES Indiana inspection finds air leaks, disconnected ducts and insulation shortfalls in 126-year-old home

WISH-TV reported that AES Indiana conducted an energy-efficiency assessment on Sept. 30 of a 126-year-old, 1,700-square-foot house. AES identified a gap leading into the attic that leaks air, observed disconnected ductwork in the basement and said attic storage was preventing proper insulation. Mold in the basement prevented AES from performing a blower door test.

AES told WISH-TV it found high usage but no metering or billing errors, offered the family a 36-month payment plan and referred the resident to the Indiana Community Action Association for the health and safety issues. AES said it will return to perform weatherization work (air sealing, duct sealing and attic insulation) after the home’s health and safety problems are addressed.
