Get matched with top home energy auditors in Cleveland, OH

"My wife and I attended a presentation by James Manfield, the owner of GreenForce.  We were impressed with company product and Jame's punctuality, professionalism and honesty.  We decided to hire his company to add insulation to attic of my in-laws house.  The installers came on time and over 9 hours managed to complete 95% of the job.  The installers were polite, professional and clean.  The subsequent installers came next day and completed the job.  We are very pleased with James and the service provided by his company. As FYI, we had similar radiant barrier installed by another company in our own house in 2012 and we were pleased with the reduction in heating and cooling cost."

"It took 4 visits over a 2 week period. The last visit was necessary because the wiring was done incorrectly on the third visit and another technician had to come and fix the work. The first technician didn't tell me there was a problem; I had to find that out myself. The price quoted by the first technician was not honored by the company, even though customer service reps said the company would go by the technician's cost estimate. Multiple calls to the company's customer service reps were unsuccessful. The best they'd say is they'll use this for future training, to ensure it doesn't happen again. I was unable to speak with someone in charge about the manner. CS staff acted bored by my concerns about the quality of work and the overcharging and declined to address either issue. The poor quality of work and poor attitude have me reconsidering using this company in the future and am looking at other heating and cooling companies. The second technician was terrific; just not sure it's enough to counteract the hours and hours the first technician spent here (and didn't fix the problem/left it not working) and lousy customer service reps (I spoke with several different ones; they were all pleasant but equally indifferent)."

"I participated in Dominion's Energy Efficiency Rebate program, which NRG Masters (dba Northcoast Energy Masters) is a participating contractor. Of the three quotes received, NRG Masters and one other contractor were competitively priced. However that other contractor do not spray foam gaps in basement. NRG Master crew arrived on time on scheduled date, they properly sealed the attic entrance so the cellulose does not blow throughout the house and to keep my pets from going upstairs. Wall insulation was performed outside, where they removed the siding, blew in cellulose into the wall and ,closed the opening and reinstalled the removed siding. They spray foamed rim joists all around the basement perimeter and a big gap where the kitchen bumped out, such that one of my cats tend to climb into and where she cannot be reached. They insulated it and closed it with dry wall so my cat can no longer go in. The crew cleaned up the work areas, They vacuum the attic, and cleaned up the basement area, though they missed some of the small spray foam drippings, which were easily removed on the concrete ground, which I believed to be not an issue. A week later I opened the attic storage area, some of the cellulose blew in. I had to followed up multiple times with e-mails and phone calls to get a return call and schedule a follow up to fix the problem. Ray said the cellulose blowing in is from the gable vent, which may have been overstuffed with cellulose. A month later, the crew came back to clean up the cellulose. Months later, I followed up with another energy audit from Dominion's program. I learned the home energy efficiency for my house improved from 2800 (before the insulation work) CFM50 (blow door test) to 2100 as proposed by NRG Master. I, also, followed up with Dominion regarding the status of my rebate, and I learned that Ray did not submit the paper work required for the rebate. I followed up with multiple calls and e-mails. At the same time Dominion representatives also reached out to him. A few weeks later, I learned that Dominion did speak with Ray and he submitted the necessary paper work, and a month later, I did get my rebate check. The slow responsiveness received from NRG Master may be attributed to their busy schedule, I had to wait about one month and half before they could perform the work at my house, so it is understandable that arising issues and filing paper work can fall to the side, though not acceptable from a customer perspective."

"Very professional. They explained what they were going to do and then did it. I can already feel the difference in my home. So glad I had the work done."

"I had an Energy audit performed on my house. The equipment used during the audit and the knowledge of the auditor was good. However, the report was useless. I was employed as a Quality Manager / Quality Engineer for over 35 years and I have performed numerous audits. And without a doubt, the auditors should used a recorder to propely document the results of the audit. Some of the things that should be in th report are, the significant areas of heat loss in each room, (including loacation of the heat losses), potential savings for reducing the major area of heat loss, the temperature difference incoming outside air and room temperature."

"We had been
looking for a state of the art solar power system, using the latest technology in
solar and battery backup.

It was hard
finding a company that could stabiles power in our home and give us what we
wanted.  The power from the local power
company was always over high voltage or very low shorting the life of my electronics
and motors in my home and workshop.    It
was hard finding a company that knew what they was doing and giving a good
price for what we wanted. The Company Renewable Engineered Systems RESllc  was the only one that was able to do this.           Only 1 volt flux of voltage  There system acts like a cpasator in my home
and give us very clean power this will extend the life of all my electronics
and motors that i have in my freezers and fringes and well pump.

This works day to day plus if the grid goes
down, my house will still be running with solar power"

"New Image has serviced my furnace and central air conditioning unit for two years. Very reliable. 


The technician Nick, was on time and very polite and professional.  He asked me if I had any problems with my furnace.  I told him about a problem with the humidifier.  He told me of a simple fix for the problem. I was very grateful. He did not try and sell me something I really did not need. I appreciate his honesty. 


Nick checked my central air unit and told me everything was fine. 


I will continue to use New Image because of the great customer service I have experienced from those I talk to in the office and the technicians that come to my home."

"Project still open. He recommended I contact Gas company to have energy audit. Findings of audit could lead to rebates making the job cost more cost effective"

"An attic inspection was performed by Jim M.  He explained what the inspection would entail before beginning the inspection.  After the inspection, he showed us some pictures he took during the inspection of the attic insulation and bathroom fan venting (two areas that he recommend we address). 
We had a flying squirrel take up residence in our attic about a year ago and the pics showed evidence of how the squirrel entered our home and where she nested.  He looked for wiring damage from the "visitor" and said he did not see evidence of wire chewing. He explained the difference in insulation r-ratings between when our home was built (mid-80s) and what it is today and recommended we have  more insulation blown-in.  We followed-up our attic inspection by North Coast Insulation  with a complete home energy audit by GoodCents, a contractor with Dominion East Ohio Gas.
The subsequent GoodCents inspection confirmed that our attic insulation was deficient by current r-rating standards; however, the overall efficiency rating of our home was within the "good" range.  As the GoodCents inspection was an overall home energy audit, the GoodCents inspector also assessed our basement and found that a crawl space under a newer addition to our home or did not have any wall insulation.  He  recommended that we have the crawl space insulated as that would improve our overall home energy efficiency.
