Needless to say, the last several (hot summer) weeks have been miserable. After having an energy audit completed by HESS, we received a very fair quote for all of the work that needed to be completed.

The house is already so much more comfortable than before. Thank you, HESS!

Recently a company connected with Dominion contacted my husband and me to offer a home energy…read morereview and estimate on weatherizing our house in time to take advantage of the tax credits available until the end of the year. Since we did not know enough to evaluate the proposal he provided after his review, we talked with someone we knew who was volunteering with a climate advocacy group in this area. He suggested we contact Mohammed at Home Energy Solutions for an energy audit. We did so and were able to schedule it very quickly with Mohammed spending a great deal of time doing a thorough inspection of our three attics and our many windows and doors. We were surprised at just how bad the situation was in general air leakage, in the ductwork, and in the insulation over one part of our house where, from the pictures Mohammed took, it looked like a raccoon had gotten into the attic and torn up the insulation. When Mohammed sent us a contract to fully insulate our three attics, removing the insulation in parts, sealing the edges and around lights, and more, and we had a ton of questions, he promptly responded with clarifying information and willingness to adjust the work and add on caulking our windows and weatherstripping a door and more. Also, the price was most reasonable -- significantly less than the other company with more items included. He then scheduled the work at our convenience and his team of three, led by Eric, arrived promptly at 8 AM and worked hard until 5:30 pm. In the 53 years we have been in the house we have done about five major remodeling jobs/additions, and a whole bunch more of minor improvements. We have been very happy with most of the firms and workers, and a couple less so. Of all the crews that have worked in our home, Eric and his team were outstanding in every way -- so helpful, courteous, hardworking, quiet, neat, patient in answering questions, and so much more!!! They cleaned up afterwards and it was great to wake up this morning and feel the notable difference in the especially leaky part of the house. We cannot say enough good things about HESS -- Mohammed, Eric and the other technicians!!! And, we are looking forward to significantly lower energy costs. If you want a great job, at a reasonable price, HESS is the place to go!

Mohammed did a pretty thorough air & insulation review of our 5500 ft2 home. I wasn't really…read moreexpecting any large problems since the home was built in 2013 but still it was really interesting to follow him around and see where all the leaks are. He did a blower door test for overall house pressure/leaks and went around every room with an IR meter which clearly showed where air is leaking in (or out) of the house. He helpfully narrated as we went. Then we got a full written report a day later with recommendations but so far no pressure to hire him to do any of them. The $500 cost seemed about right for a large 5500 ft2 house and the 1.5-2 hrs it took. One note: Even though it's called an energy audit, there was no audit of water, electrical, gas or other energy-related items; this was just an air and ventilation audit.

In 2022, I requested an energy assessment for temperature differences. Luke the technician was…read moreprofessional, and did a thorough job. However, the evaluation mainly focused on upstairs ducts, and bathroom vents, but didn't address my primary concerns. When I received the quote, it was extremely high, so I decided to go with a different company--a decision I ultimately regretted. When I tried to return and schedule service with the company, I was told Luke doesnt work there anymore, so I was assigned to Ben. I requested to do another energy audit because the initial evaluation didnt provide CFM readings from Living Room and Dining room which is a colder area of the house. He was going to charge another $595 for another full audit, I asked for a discount and he said no. He said its not needed as he has all the information. When I agreed, he emails me back the following day to cancel because I had previously hired another provider due to Budget reasons. I find it disappointing that service would be refused based on my past decision to explore other options. This approach doesn't reflect the level of customer care I would expect.

Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this company…read more I was initially given a timeline indicating the project would be completed in time for my MEA application. In my case, that timeline was not met, and I had to request an extension, which I understand may or may not be approved. I potentially lost funding for thousands of dollars. The installation process took significantly longer than originally indicated. My project began in August of last year, and I did not receive permission to operate until mid-April of this year. in my experience, communication was inconsistent, with delays in responses and updates. In early to mid-March, I reached out multiple times and was told there were no updates. After escalating my inquiry, I was later informed that a visit had already been scheduled for the following week, which I had not previously been made aware of. This was confusing and raised concerns for me about how scheduling was communicated. Why are they making in house access appointment without ever confirming with me and telling me no appointment has been made at the same time? During one visit, I observed that the door was left open for periods of time in very cold weather (in the 20s °F), despite my requests to keep it closed. When I raised these concerns, I felt that my feedback was not fully acknowledged, as the responses I received focused more on explanations than on addressing the issues I had raised. Overall, my experience was frustrating and did not meet my expectations for professionalism.

We had an energy audit completed with Zero Draft. They did a thorough inspection of our home to…read moreidentify energy savings and recommendations to improve heating/cooling efficiency. During the inspection they also provided water flow management devices for our showers, replaced bulbs with LED, and installed a smart surge protector in our media room. The report they provided gave us recommendations for insulation, tuneup, and other installations to help improve our HVAC efficiency. The quote included prices and rebates available. We easily selected the options we wanted and scheduled the work. It was a fraction of the cost if we had engaged contractors without going through the energy audit. They managed the rebate process and we only had to pay the remaining balance. We had blown-in and spray foam insulation done in our attic. Once this was complete, Zero Draft retested and showed that the install increased our efficiency by over 20%. I can actually feel and see the difference. It's noticeably warmer inside. Our roof used to have frost on half and not on the other half because so much heat was rising up. After they installed our insulation the entire roof stays frosty and more f the heat stays in our living spaces. They even got into spaces I never thought were accessible!

Every time they showed up at my house to conduct my annual HVAC inspection/maintenance in the Spring and the Furnace inspection/maintenance in the Autumn - they were more interested in trying to sell me thousands of dollars of new equipment and systems - rather than do the work they were contracted to do per the terms of the pre-paid maintenance agreement. After checking with some friends, based on their recommendations - I decided to try out Wesley Brooks of Green Home Energy Solutions. He is a small, local HVAC business. Wesley showed up, checked everything out, found the problem and quickly addressed it. He told me whomever had been doing the previous maintenance had been doing a poor job.
