The work was professionally done by Steve O'Donnell who knew exactly what needed to be done and how it would help. He always showed up when he said he would and stayed late to finish the job. I would recommend Steve and his company to anyone looking for a professional job at a good price. We have already seen the difference in our electric bill. We will have Steve back to finish the insulation work in the fall.
Description of Work: Sealed accessible ductwork at connections, registers, air handlers and return air ducts. Replaced damaged flex ducts. Sealed penetrations in the ceilings at fans, lights and chimney chase. Complete energy audit before and after work was performed to see the difference in the numbers the repair work made (substantial difference). They offered to blow in insulation but as we planned to do some can lighting in the near future, we decided to do the insulation work in the fall (their prices were good for 1 year).

All went smoothly. He was punctual and very careful to explain all that he was doing the energy assessment. On the day of the retrofitting, his insulation guy's blower was broken, so he arranged for him to come the next day. His partner came after the insulation guys left to fix up our attic entrances and clean up. We also discussed whether we should put more insulation in the walls of the converted garage. We were unsure of the cost:benefit ratio. So he loaned us his temperature sensor so that we could measure the temp of the walls and ceilings in that room and compare it to the rest of the house during the hottest points of the day. In the end, the walls measured about the same, so we did not opt for more wall insulation, just the attic insulation as we had agreed. He did not pressure us at all to do that extra $450. Steve also recommended A Hybrid Home for our HVAC work (they did a great job), as well as some vendors for solar roof panels and solar water heater (which we are not ready to do yet). I would highly recommend his services, especially if you are moving in to a new house or renovating, or just sick of your high electricity bills. His recommendations allowed us to spend more on retrofits that would save energy in a significant enough fashion that we were able to spend thousands less on our AC installation. And those retrofits were covered about 50% by the APS rebates.
Description of Work: We first did a home energy assessment. They were listed as a provider of this service through APS, our electricity provider. We had just bought an older home and we needed to know where to sink our resources given that we needed new HVAC, water heaters, etc. I called a few of the vendors on the APS list and knew immediately that Steve O'Donnell was the expert we needed. He gave me valuable insight over the phone, before he had met us, to help us choose from the wide ranging HVAC estimates we received. He performed the energy assessment expeditiously ($99 - comes with 10 fluorescent bulbs, a hot water saving shower head, 2 faucet aerators). The assessment told us which areas of the house were leaking the most air. He then sent a detailed estimate of how much it would cost to add more insulation, duct/air sealing, solar screens - with the the APS rebates included so that we knew not only how much energy & money we would save from each change but also what our end cost would be after the APS rebates. When he came back a month later to do the retrofitting, he submitted the rebate forms to APS for us, even though we used a different vendor (before we had met him) for the solar shades. He then charged us the after-rebate price (ie he waits for the rebate money - not us - I thought that was quite nice of him to do that).
