"Do NOT recommend ? caused furnace damage and refused responsibility Edge Energy performed an energy audit at our home in January 2025 that resulted in serious damage to our furnace. The auditor failed to turn off the pilot light during testing?something our HVAC technician described as basic ?Furnace 101.? As a result, internal components burned and the furnace became inoperable. We had to pay out of pocket for the replacement part and hire a separate technician to repair the furnace. This left our family without heat for 1.5?2 weeks in January, while we were sick with the flu. During that time, we relied on borrowed space heaters, burned a full cord of firewood, and absorbed significantly higher electricity costs just to keep the house livable. Our total out-of-pocket costs were $3,000. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this directly, Edge Energy has not responded meaningfully and refuses to take responsibility. We are now filing a BBB complaint and pursuing recovery in Small"

"Home Energy Medics were efficient and professional. They took time to listen to and address our concerns. The work was scheduled to meet our schedule. They took care of everything from start to finish and left our house clean at the end of each day. The entire process was virtually seamless. The personnel were all great."

"Energy Efficiency Experts was very responsive and easy to work with, and both Pascale Maslin and Nick Chang took time to listen to my concerns about comfort and high energy bills. Nick’s attic to basement inspection was thorough, and he explained issues like air leaks, insulation gaps, and attic and kneewall problems in clear, down to earth language. The report that Pascale and Nick provided was detailed but easy to follow, showing how deficiencies in previous work were driving my high utility costs and giving me a prioritized list of fixes to improve efficiency. I left the process feeling informed and confident about next steps, and I would strongly recommend Pascale, Nick, and Energy Efficiency Experts to any homeowner facing high energy bills. "

"The company deserves 1000 stars l. Chris came and gave a well thorough inspection and estimate of my actic. Had my concerns and expectations, I had several other companies come and give quotes for double the price. Especially ORKIN. Orkin tried to use care tactics to sign contract without any explanation. Chris gave the quote and the crew arrived a week later as scheduled. Chris has a great work crew who were professional , caring, and did high quality work. Every step of the way, I was communicated and was filled in. I was shown before , during and after photos. And end results were UNBELIEVABLE Chris is fair and honest, he gives reasonable prices and will not take advantage of his customers."

"The process last year from the start to finish was long and tiring but completed. They installed heat pump , air handler , insulation and exhaust fan . After one year I have a complaint . They installed two bathroom exhaust fans. I notice they are exhausted in the attic which is a residential violation code. I called them last week and they send a tech to take pictures. Will update on progress"

"In 2017, I contracted with them via Pepco because the 2nd floor rooms were hotter than the rest of the house, costing me greater A/C expenses. I worked with them on an energy audit to the upstairs bedrooms, removal of the acoustic ceiling tile in one room, addition/improvement of insulation, sealing in kneewalls, installation of new ceiling, insulation in the basement, and a follow-up energy audit. The auditor was very prompt and friendly but the workers didn't do an good job. The contractor was flaky. The HVAC crew were sloppy. The drywall installer/carpenter did a low-grade job by using low grade wood for the knee wall doors, and he set the ceiling inappropriately for house settling (now there are cracks between ceiling and walls). The energy audit following the work showed improvement but I'll need additional solutions to get the house to a more efficient state. I shared my disappointment with them and in 2018 they refinished cracking drywall ceiling without charge and replaced the doors - still not quality. They were bought by Minnick's, with whom in 2019 I scheduled an estimate for additional HVAC solutions for the upstairs. Minnick's jerked me around, never gave a complete estimate (I had to keep asking if it included what we discussed) and the estimate was exponentially more pricey than others and they proposed a solution that wouldn't solve the problem. I wouldn't recommend them at all."

"I used this company to perform a home inspection before I bought my house. Due to its negligence and breach of contract, 9 months after I moved in, I had to replace the roof on the house. The company will do nothing to rectify the situation. They are cheats and liars that hide behind their contracts. Their inspectors take every shortcut, and they will not protect you during the home buying process. Just don’t use them."

FAQs for home energy audit projects in Washington DC, DC

To prepare for a home energy audit, begin by preparing your space. Clear any obstructions around the attic, basement, ducts, crawl space, appliances, windows, and doors. Gather all your energy bills from the last year and information on home upgrades if you’ve made any changes. If you’ve previously had an audit done, include that information as well.

Finally, be prepared to discuss any questions or concerns you have. If you’ve noticed a rise in your energy bills, hot or cold areas in your home, or unusual sounds from ducts or appliances, make a list to discuss with your auditor.

How often you should get an energy audit depends on the age and condition of your home. New homes with no issues are recommended to get an audit every five years, while older homes should audit every two to three years. If you’ve noticed any changes to your energy bills or other areas of concern, you should get an audit as soon as possible. It’s also a good idea to conduct an audit if you’ve made changes or upgrades to your home, such as installing a new furnace, windows, or doors.

An energy audit takes three to four hours to complete. Your auditor sets up testing equipment, conducts an exhaustive walk‑through inspection, and performs all required evaluations to identify energy loss points. The audit follows a systematic review that includes visual assessments, mechanical tests, and detailed documentation, resulting in a precise report of improvement recommendations.

You can schedule a home energy audit any time of the year—it all depends on what's convenient for you. That said, timing it right can help you tackle issues before they impact your comfort and bills. If you live in a colder climate and want to avoid high heating costs in the winter, getting an audit in the summer allows you to make improvements before the temperature drops. On the contrary, if hot summers are your concern, a spring audit can help you stay cool and save on air conditioning.

To find a qualified home energy auditor, start by searching for local energy auditors with great reviews and recognized certifications like those from the Building Performance Institute (BPI). These credentials ensure they're qualified and can help you qualify for rebates. Don't hesitate to ask about their audit methods and schedule a consultation to see if they're a good fit for your needs. Doing some research upfront helps you get top-notch service and maximize your energy efficiency.

Once you have your energy audit report, it's time to take action. Review the recommendations and prioritize the upgrades that make the most sense for your home and budget. Reach out to experienced pros to get quotes and discuss how they can help. By making these improvements, you'll boost your home's energy efficiency, lower your utility bills, and enjoy a more comfortable living space.
