I am so glad that I called Halcyon. They found things that the pest didn't and things I wouldn't have looked for, more importantly, they found the root of many of the pest report items and had pictures, descriptions and the answer to what needed to be done to correct those issues; so that I had a solid understanding of the scope of work required and as a result (after a few phone calls) cost estimates.. all of this saved me over $100k at closing.. and more, gave me a plan for what needed to be done so I'd have no surprises down the road Suffice it to say, I am recommending you call them!

UPDATE: After seeing this review Roy followed up with me. The exclusion I mentioned is part of the…read more2022 energy code, and Roy did my certificate just before this went into effect under the 2019 code. In other words, the exclusion didn't apply at the time and he chose not to mention it as some cities would require me to resubmit everything under all 2022 code, potentially causing other problems. I can appreciate that. That said, when contacting a consultant that I'm working with about a major, very stressful problem I expect to receive support. I'd much rather be presented with possible solutions to explore that may not pan out. Roy tells me that this has given him something to think about for future clients. I now feel comfortable upgrading my rating a bit. _____ ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'd really like to give two stars but I can't think of a single reason to justify it. I'm building an ADU and the architect works with Delta T. The certificate came back saying I need a 1.46 kW solar system. This meant I was going to lose NEM 2 for my 2-year-old system and everything would get bumped to NEM 3 costing me many thousands of dollars. When I emailed to ask for guidance, no response. Second email got a very short response that showed no interest in helping me figure out the problem. I talked to a solar company for a bid, who tells me the ADU needs 1/3-1-2 of Delta T's recommended 1.46 MAX. I got frustrated and went to the energy code myself which I've never looked at before. Within 20 minutes I found a very clear exclusion clause that plainly states that if the otherwise required system is less than 1.8 kW then no system is required. City instantly agreed that this applied and that no system is required. I can understand being busy and not responding right away. Likewise, I get that maybe the solar company was wrong about how much is required. Not helping a client when a related issue arises, however, and not knowing your own trade as a consultant, are inexcusable. This exclusion is going to apply to many ADUs, and is essential knowledge for an energy consultant who works with them.

I was initially impressed with what seemed like a thorough and well-considered estimate. It felt…read morelike the team really evaluated my attic and cooling needs. The addition of two QuietCool fans also seemed like a major plus, as I was already familiar with the product and expected it would significantly help with cooling. When it came to the insulation work, I was very pleased. The crew did an excellent job removing the old insulation and installing the new. They worked efficiently, protected my floors well, and ensured that no insulation debris entered the living areas. That part of the job was handled professionally. However, I was less impressed with the radiant barrier installation. This may partly be due to a misunderstanding on my end, as I expected a different type of material, but the end result did not meet my expectations. The biggest issue, unfortunately, was the installation of the fans. At best, it was very poorly executed. The fans are 16" units with 12" duct openings, yet they were installed directly against the gables, which severely restricts airflow. Proper installation should have included a box or shroud to help direct airflow effectively through the fans. Because of this poor airflow, the fans do not cool the attic--in fact, they appear to make things worse. I can actually watch the temperature on the thermostat increase when the fans are turned on. I reached out to my representative multiple times, but the response was disappointing. I was told they could not take the fans back, and when I asked why the attic temperature increases when they are running, I was told there was no explanation and nothing further could be done. As temperatures continue to rise, I'm left frustrated that I spent $1,200 on two fans that perform the opposite of what was promised, with no meaningful support or resolution offered. UPDATE: After posting my initial review, I was contacted by both the project manager and the owner. I reiterated the reasons for my frustration, explaining that my review reflected my honest impression of what I saw as a lack of clear communication and effective management of the project and customer expectations. The project manager apologized for the communication breakdown and asked if I would be open to giving them an opportunity to make things right. A technician was then sent out, and he took the time to fully understand the issue, carefully examine the installation, and make several adjustments to the original work. He believes these changes will help improve airflow in the attic. Since my attic has some unique characteristics, he also provided helpful suggestions for additional ways to improve cooling and airflow--something I feel should have been addressed during the initial planning stage of the project. Whether these changes will result in significant improvement remains to be seen; I'll have a better sense once the weather warms up. I do appreciate the follow-up and the willingness of the project manager to reach out and try to make things right, and I have updated my review accordingly. That said, I want to be clear that the increase in my rating is largely due to the technician and the time he invested in evaluating the full situation, as well as both implementing and proposing thoughtful solutions.
