Their attention to detail is amazing. My daughters room was freezing in the winter and the problem was unsolvable by anyone else. Their comprehensive home energy audit lasted a good two hours and treated my entire home as an interconnected system.
I felt at home with these folks soon as they walked in the door. Shoe covers on their feet meant that I would not be cleaning up after them and that they cared.
Top to bottom, from my crawlspace to my attic. Looking into my walls with an infrared camera we discovered that the builder (who shall remain nameless) had left two of the bays in my daughters room completely bare with no insulation at all. Additionally when they insulated my attic with fiberglass bats they did not air seal all of the holes in the floor first. There were literally wires and plumbing directly next to her room in the attic with holes going through allowing cold air to enter her walls.
We learned more in that two hours then we did from a multitude of contractors over the years trying to solve that problem.
Best part is, the state of New Jersey gave us $2000 in rebates and finance the remaining $2500 with a 0% interest rate. Our monthly bill to the state is $30 and the best part is, now that the house is properly insulated, our bills went down because we weren't wasting energy anymore. Some months I'm saving over $75 in energy bills compared to last year.
Moral of the story, use an expert, not someone who is trying to shove a larger heating or cooling system down your throat. No money out of my pocket, my daughters room is comfortable and now she spends a ton of time there when she didn't before. Most months I'm saving more energy than the payment costs. Incredible. read more
