Get matched with top home energy auditors in Romulus, MI

"Having the energy audit was a really great experience. We knew we had issues with air leakage but seeing them really lets you know what s happening. More surprising is the areas that are found to be leaking. We have a closet that causing major issues and we would have never known. We have improper insulation over a soffit area for a built in shelf area and that is causing a lot of cold in the upstairs too. We would have never known without the audit. We are excited to get the report so we can see exactly what is recommended to remedy all of our problem areas for a more efficient home."

"I started with an energy audit from Consumers Energy.  I was then referred to a list of companies to have a followup comprehensive energy audit and depending on the work that was done and the results proved by an additional comprehensive energy audit out to document improvements, I could earn rebates for the work I had done.  I had the misfortune of picking "Company X" to have the comprehensive audit in (the one done before the work)  Their prices were quite high and I felt extreme pressure to make a snap decision or they wouldn't give me their "best" price. I obtained better offers and went with one company for the furnace and another for the insulation. To qualify for the Consumers Energy rebates, I now needed an additional audit (audit out) to document the changes after the work was performed. "Company X" refused to perform the tests since I didn't use their company for the work. <br /> I was extremely fortunate to be referred to CDC Energy Consultants, Carl Clark, who performs independent energy analysis without being a salesman trying to sell you products.  He was also on Consumers Energy list of participating contractors. <br /> From the start, I knew I had chosen the right man.  He was courteous, professional, accomodating, and a great communicator.We corresponded several times prior to and after my appt. and every question I had was promptly answered and I was provided with information that was extremely valuable to me since I had no prior experience in these matters. He made me feel free to contact him at any time if I had questions or problems and he was very helpful.  On the day of my appt., he was prompt and had me accompany him through the house as he explained what he was doing and the test results and their ramifications.  This was particularly important since the insulation work had several problem areas.  He wrote a thorough report, well documented with photographs and all I had to do was contact the insulation co. I used, email their service manager the report, and I was contacted by them and had the service manager out to my home and arrange for another appt. to have all the problem areas corrected at no charge to me.  They even agreed to pay for repeat energy audit once the work was done.  Had I not had CDC Energy Consultants here, I would have been blind to these problems and would not have known what to tell the insulation company. <br /> I am now anticipating $1450.00  in rebates that CDC Energy Consultants applied for to Consumers Energy in my behalf. <br /> I feel like Carl Clark will be a lifelong friend after this experience. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"John and his team were very professional and did a great job. They added insulation to my attic and air sealed the entire home. They worked quickly and left the home as clean as it was before they arrived. I would strongly recommend John and his team for an energy audit and installing the recommended updates."

"Doug was awesome and probably saved our lives. As he entered our home his carbon monoxide detector went off. He went directly to our furnace and found a blocked exhaust duct. Next he found a small natural gas leak. Then he gave us 7 low cost items to improve the energy efficiency of our home. Having a professional inspect your home will pay you back in many ways. Thank you Doug!!"

"Kevin Scanlan was very professional and VERY informative. He walked us through his entire process. It was so thorough it felt as I was being trained on how to inspect a home!!"

"They gave me a good price on that. Their service was excellent. The kids were young, but they were very professional and knew what they were doing. The owner would follow-up right afterwards, call and check with me if I had any problems and he would show up at the house to make sure there were no problems. He still calls me on the system."

"Couldn't have gone any better.  He was so thorough and patient.  He obviously knows his stuff."

"<br /> <br />The sales rep called at our appointment time and said he was on his way.  It was a morning appointment so I don?t believe that there would have been any prior appointments that day, so that was mildly frustrating, but would not directly influence our decision.   <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> During presentation there were not samples available to gauge the quality and appearance up close instead of pictures.  That being said, the salesman seemed very knowledgeable and friendly.  Being an older house we were informed that the doors would have to be cut down to size which was extra costs.  Also, given the craftsman style we had wanted a fir grain to the fiberglass door, but that was an up-charge and was significant.  It is worth noting that their craftsman style door offered is a bit non-traditional <br /> <br />and has three panels instead of two.  The quote was written with an oak grain instead given the cost difference for upgrade to fir grain. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />We ended up selecting a different company to go with based on their price and also the aesthetics and differences in quality. When I spoke to the salesperson and let him know our decision he asked if it was because of the price, because he could work with us on that.  Personally, that tactic is a turn-off.  I dont like to haggle and it implies that what was quoted was higher than it needed to be.  When I explained it was partially about price, but it also was the different door brand and aesthetics he asked that we decided on.  When I told him he immediately went into the ?I really don?t like to talk bad about others ? but??.  Another very big red flag for us, confirming that it was not a good match and that we had made the right choice to go with a competitor. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"It went great. The representative scrubbed the igniter clean (something the other company never did). It seemed to have done the trick."

"It went very smoothly. Jamie came out to make sure they had all the measurement specifics for what needed to be made up ahead of time. Brad and Tom came to do the install 2 days later. They were clean cut, polite, respectful of my home, cleaned up after themselves, programmed my thermostat and even helped my get the energy credit paperwork completed!"
