Get matched with top home energy auditors in Gainesville, VA

"We found HESS through Pepco's Home Performance energy savings program. Mohammed was responsive, arrived on time for the audit, and made sure to ask about any comfort issues we were having. After the audit, he took us through everything he found and made recommendations based on both energy savings and the comfort issues we discussed. He answered all my questions (and I had a lot), and explained in detail exactly what work he was suggested. When it came time for the actual work, it turned out to be a little more involved than expected, but they still managed to get it done in a day. Again Mohammed walked me through all the work that was done and answered all my questions. We haven't had a chance to test out the new insulation in the winter, but so far our upstairs is maintaining a much more uniform temperature and the A/C has definitely not been working as hard. Prior to the insulation we had a room that was 4-5 degrees hotter or colder than the rest of the upstairs depending on the season. Mohammed has also made the Pepco rebate process easy to manage so far, and his estimate was within 3% of the final rebate we will receive. I've been incredibly impressed with his communication throughout the whole process and would recommend HESS for any energy saving or comfort issues with your home."

"We hired Edge Energy to do a full house remodel (3,000 sq. ft.,two floors, kitchen, living room, dining room, family room, breakfast space, four bedrooms, two full baths and a powder room, laundry room). This is a little outside their normal scope but we really liked the company owner, Jason Dispenza and he set up a favorable pricing schedule that didn't include some of the exorbitant management fees we have seen with other contractors. They started with an energy audit which helped to determine some of the aspects of the systems upgrades we would need. We changed the room configuration on both floors, replaced major systems (water heater, HVAC,electrical, etc.) replaced windows and put in new window openings, installed support beams, replaced the roof, insulation, electrical upgrade and lighting, replaced much of the hardwood flooring, drywall, paint and added a new front entry with a new porch. It was a major job which we lived through for months with the exception of about two weeks when the drywall work was being done. Our living there caused Edge some additional work, but they were considerate of protecting what remained in the house, and making the space as livable as possible. The result is beautiful and we probably have one of the most energy efficient homes in our area of Maryland. The Edge crew was great to work with, very considerate and careful to not disrupt our life more than necessary. Mike Hogan, the project manager was very good to work with, attentive to concerns and very responsive to suggestions. During many weeks we were talking daily. Most subs were very good as well- the HVAC, roofing and drywall guys were great. Our only concerns were with the plumber who delayed the project considerably and the final cost of the project was higher than the estimate we had originally received. I would highly recommend Edge Energy for their work and their customer responsiveness. They are technically highly competent and are very good people to work with."

"Had a great experience with Kamal. He is helpful, knowledgable and very dependable. We had a crisis with our old hvac system and were freezing. Kamal was the only one who came within 2 hours on a holiday while others were available only the next day or later. Most were closed that day. I got a great deal on the new SEER16 hvac and have been happy with it. My electric bill has cut down to almost half. Also he offers 2 years of his company’s warranty in addition to the manufacturers 10 year warranty. Highly recommend Kamal and will be using him for future."

"Very well. Technician, John, was patient and thorough as he cleaned and took readings of the systems. He took the time to walk me through the maintenance and care that I need to take care of the Heating and water heater systems of my newly acquired condo in Fairfax County Virginia."

"I had a wonderful experience with Founders Insulation. They were extremely easy to work with. It was easy to schedule an appointment, the gentleman who came out was knowledgeable and polite, and I felt that I received good information and they did not try to sell me something I did not need. Their quote was excellent. The work was scheduled and completed quickly. The installation team was courtesy, thorough, and knew their stuff. They were respectful of my home and went above and beyond. I highly recommend this company."

"Summary: The Comfy team did a great job b/c they know what they are doing however, they are not without faults. Work Completed: Full crawlspace escalation and turning a vented attic into an unvented attic by adding CC spray from on the roof deck. Time frame: July 13-17 2020 Results: We are only a month out from the work being completed, so the analysis is on-going but here are the numbers so far. My Aug electricity bill was down 26% in real dollars from July. That reduction is in spite of the fact that Aug had a 31% higher average Cooling Degree Days (base Temp 70F - https://www.degreedays.net/-). In addition, the first week of my Aug billing cycle included this work. Again, this is very early on but that is a promising start. Other benefits include less variability in house temperature. Before I would see a temperature difference of 5 degrees Fahrenheit between my bottom and top floors. Now they are no more than 1.5 degrees apart (the thermostat is on the lowest level). This creates an overall more pleasant living environment. So while Iâ m looking at a return on investment that stretches out past 10 years, during that time itâ ll be a more comfortable home to live in. Challenges: My only complaint is that there doesnâ t seem to be a solid quality control program. To be fair, I have high standards of work quality. Especially when Iâ m paying for it. Comfy clearly understands the science and best practices. Itâ s always a challenge translating that over to the real world, which is messy. With that said I felt like I was the one that had to be pointing out the areas of poor workmanship. It sure would have been nice to feel like that quality control was being done for me. Now for the good news, Comfy is correcting all the issues I have pointed out (scheduled but not all completed). Bottom Line: Comfy has a talented team of people, who know the work. They will do a good job at a fair price. But donâ t let the sleek marketing and science lull you into a false sense of security, make sure you get what you paid for."

"Excellent service from start to finish. The energy audit was very detailed, and they took the time to explain everything in simple terms. Since the improvements, my energy bills have gone down and my home feels more comfortable year-round. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to save energy and improve home comfort."

"Not inexpensive, but worth the cost for energy savings and efficiency. We had received a much higher bid from another company, and were glad we chose Comfenergy. The technician was very knowledgeable and we felt a great difference in our upstair master bed and bath which were uncomfortably warm prior to the improvements. Also nice now to have "green" home for resale."

"Excellently! Mike arrived as promised, covered the stairs and hallways with throws to make sure no dirt in the house, and exceeded my expectations with his professionalism, courtesies and efficiency. Very pleased and would recommend Mike to anyone needing hvac services. I would certainly rehire them"
