Energy Services Group was responsive to my request and scheduled the estimate and subsequent work in a timely manner. Nino and his team arrived when expected and were friendly, professional, careful with items and cleaned up so well you wouldn't have know they had sawed through walls and blown in insulation. We felt the impact immediately and I no longer need to run a space heater all day! There was a slight misunderstanding with our desire for a single access point (all entry points were left as future access points with a screw-on panel placed over them) but the issue was resolved within a week of our contacting them. Overall, a good experience.
I never leave reviews but I'll make an exception here. My bedroom above my garage gets very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. Brad came out to give me an estimate to remedy this problem, which included blowing insulation into my garage ceiling. He was my 3rd quote for advice about remedying this situation. The other two companies tried to sell me other insulation work around the house in addition to blowing insulation into the garage ceiling. I felt Brad was extremely honest with me...he said just to start with the garage ceiling and see how it works. He really seemed to care about not selling me additonal jobs that I didn't need. Moreover, when the quote came back for the garage ceiling work, it was $500-1500 less than the similar itemized work from the other two companies. Brad set up an appointment very soon after the consult and his guys did a great job. I can now close the door to the bedroom without it getting stifling hot. The AC actually seems to work really well in that room now! The true test will come this winter...but I am very hopeful given the immediate positive results experienced already this summer. I am so grateful to Brad and ESG for their honesty and hard work.
"I moved into this home on the 1st of December and contacted the energy experts at Energy Services Group when it turned cold at the beginning of the year. My house was uncomfortable and the heater ran constantly. Their EmPOWER Maryland energy audit showed me that the house was nearly twice as leaky as it should be, and insulation in the basement was ineffective. The ducts in the basement were also leaky and in effect heating the unfinished basement. Their work fixed the leaks and reduced air leakage by 35%. They also sealed the ducts in the basement and were able to deliver more air to upstairs. I feel much warmer now that they fixed these energy problems and glad I called to get the audit, and learn how to make my home more comfortable. We are expecting to see a reduction in our electric bill as well. Thanks so much for your hard work."
"The energy expert with Energy Services Group was extremely impressive and I feel much better after having him here to look around. We've had roofers, a home inspector, HVAC guy, building envelope/insulation "expert" etc., and I didn't feel any better after they left. Nobody was able to answer my questions or make me feel confident that they knew what they were talking about. My experience today was the complete opposite so I'm very grateful!"
"We definitely saw a difference in how the house 'holds' the cool air in. We turn the AC up during the day (after having it cool at night), and the house goes almost the entire day before it hits that higher temperature."
"The upstairs is no longer stifling when we go up there. It may be 3 degrees hotter but it's no longer 15 degrees hotter!"
"Your crews were amazing! Our upstairs is finally warm in the winter. We don't need space heaters anymore. To see the return on your money so fast is insane."
"There was a sizeable decrease in our bills."
"Great job! My upstairs bedrooms are much more comfortable. You guys were really cool."
"Oh my goodness, this stuff really works!"
"I'm just tickled. I know I have a 25% decrease in my electric bill."
"My house actually stays warm now."
"Your people were great."
"Audit was great, very informative."
"The house is so much tighter."
"I want to thank you and the team for the excellent job you did conducting the "draft test" and then adding sealant and insulation to fix it. After one day we can feel the difference in our house. The cold spots in corners of our house, where the temperature was as much as 5 degrees colder than the core, have disappeared. The general chill is gone, and the home feels tight, like no air is moving through it.
Thanks to you and the guys for doing such a good job."
Great customer service, pricing and time management skillset
Punctual, did the work as promised, and cleaned the area after they were through. Great job. Zachary and Andrew were very professional...Dave.
We are getting a ton of housework done and I didn't realize how hard it was to get anybody to call you back when you got a bag full of money and projects to do. This place showed up with the facts and didn't try to sell me anything i didn't need. That kind if professionalism is apparently hard to come by so i really appreciate the ease of tackling one problem without having to put too much thought into it or track people down. Brad was very professional and so were the two guys who came over and completed the job in record-breaking time. I've also done my research on the cost of doing it myself compared to how much i paid and the two prices were pretty close and it was definitely worth every dollar to have a job done correctly and it included things I wasn't even aware of doing myself. Thanks again.
I was very happy with the speed, quality and professional approach of Energy Services. I would definitely recommend them.
This was a great experience. The estimator came out first, on time, professional and friendly. He gave us a great price for what we wanted. The installers came out EARLY! when does that every happen? Were friendly, nice to work with, left NO mess (again, when does that happen?), finished up in a timely fashion, and did what the contract stated. I couldn't really ask for me. We're looking forward to substantially lowering the cost of heating and cooling our home since we went from zero insulation to 16" of insulation! Thanks, Guys!
Jon,
I think we know yesterday, and the day before, were SCORCHERS. It was horrible outside, but our house was PERFECT inside. Not once did my AC run for a full hour to keep the house at a lovely 74 degrees, even though we had gone in and out of the house many times!
I want to say 'THANK YOU' for the excellent work and job your company has done for us. The evidence couldn't be any clearer.
I'm attaching pictures of the energy usage for running my AC last weekend, before the air sealing (11th & 12th) and the picture of our energy usage for yesterday. You can see the difference you've made for us for yourself.
