I'm writing this review based on an excellent experience my family had with Balance Point Home…read morePerformance. Considering that the HVAC/Home Performance space is fragmented with so many companies providing varying levels of quality, commitment, and general ethics, I feel it is important to provide information that might help others make a good decision. We recently moved into a home built in the 90's with solid construction, six inch walls, dual pane windows, and insulation throughout, so we assumed it would be energy efficient. During the winter we ended up spending over $300/month on electricity and $500/month on propane. With the heat running all day we still felt cold and the air in the house was very dry. Family members got sick multiple times over the winter. Reasons we chose Balance Point: 1. Balance Point was the only company recommended by CBCPA (Efficiency First California) and CBCPA made it clear to me that choosing the right company for this work is essential due to the complexity of home performance 2. Gavin (co-owner) took the time to talk with me on the phone and thoroughly understand our situation before agreeing to work with us. Other companies seemed desperate, but Balance Point qualified the situation to ensure their services were the right fit, before asking for my business 3. References from existing local customers were exceptional 4. Price point was nearly equivalent to other providers and we felt the service would be more thorough and higher quality with Balance Point Balance Point tested our home for Shell Leakage, Insulation, Window Glazing, Air Delivery for the HVAC System, Duct Leakage/Conduction, Ventilation/Exhaust , Hot Water , Combustion Safety, Drainage, Crawl Space Moisture, and other items that were focused on the concerns we had identified. This resulted in a 31 page document which was the basis for the opportunities to improve our home. We decided to tackle the major areas and the safety issues, including sealing interstitial cavities and installing sealed recessed lighting, replacement of the HVAC system including all duct work, and replacement of our two water heaters with a single high-efficiency unit. The benefit of this project is that our home is finally comfortable. The heating system is highly efficient and keeps our home at the right temperature all the time. We aren't losing heat (or cooling in the summer) through the duct system, or any of the holes that existed in the structure. The new system uses a two stage heat pump and also has a hydronic coil that acts as an auxiliary heat source if the temperatures get really low. It is silent when it runs, so the heater doesn't wake me up in the night, and since it is electric, we are using drastically less propane. The new water heater works amazingly well. We have found that although it utilizes a tank, it's recovery rate is such that you can take multiple showers back to back without ever running out of hot water, and we feel much better that our home doesn't have combustion gasses leaking into the living space. Dan and Gavin managed the project from start to finish, and it was completed exactly as we had discussed, and on budget. Intangibles: Every person in the crew was a good guy - always said hello to my kids, petted the dog, and just seemed to genuinely care about us as people. . In every step of the process there was the potential for dust, debris, or some kind of mess in the home, and in every step the team had a way to prevent potential damage, minimize the mess, and quickly clean up as needed. Every day the team picked up their equipment, swept/vacuumed/washed up their working areas, and the house was like they weren't even there. This impressed my wife especially compared to some other work we recently had done with a contractor who was not nearly as conscientious. The science factor can't be overlooked here either. HVAC systems have been implemented for many years based on learning passed from generation to generation, gut feel, and the thinking that these systems operate OK as is. More recently we have gained the ability to measure things that weren't being measured before and design systems based on science/mathematics rather than intuition. This was what originally made me think that Balance Point would be good to work with, and what has proven true. Additionally, Dan and Gavin were always ultra-fast to respond when I had a question or concern, even offering to come out to our house on the weekend to get something right and to ensure our comfort. These are good people who are at the top of their game, and really focus on the success of the project and satisfaction of the customer. I do not normally take the time to write up a review this thorough, however I feel like it is warranted based on how happy we are with the results of the work. Bottom Line: Balance Point is the best construction company I have ever worked with.

Steve came and did our chimney inspection when buying our house in 2017. He was here maybe 30…read moreminutes, but that's being generous. His report for 2 fireplaces was "Both fireplaces is clean and in good working order". As we later found out when we hired another person to find out the real condition of our fireplaces. One had a gas insert that turns out was disconnected and wouldn't even spark. The service person told us it's not even worth trying to fix with old parts. This was also confirmed with a different technician. It is a complete throwaway unit. In fact, we then wanted to use it as a regular old fashioned fireplace and that wasn't even possible due to the condition of the flue, etc. The second fireplace has a stove insert. We also wanted that removed and to just use the fireplace as a regular fireplace. Again, this could not be done as the flue, and whatever else inside the chimney was again chewed up by whoever installed the stove years ago. Obviously, it is not Steve's fault on the condition of the fireplaces. But for him to come under the guise of doing an inspection on 2 fireplaces, report that "both fireplaces is clean and in good working order" is a complete SCAM, AND he takes our check for $125.00 which to me is just criminal! I would never hire this person again. Buyer Beware. Maybe he is a good chimney sweep???, but unless it is something you can actually verify, I wouldn't believe it.
