Description of Work: I would definitely recommend Advanced Home Energy. Dvir Brakha, the lead building analyst, was extremely friendly, helpful, and professional in all of my interactions with him. He explained all of the things needed and the options available to us in regards to making our home more energy efficient. The prices were a little intimidating, but given that this was the only company that looked at our energy consumption as a whole (rather than from only the insulation aspect), they might be pretty competitive. We ultimately decided to hold off on adding insulation and possibly installing a new heating system given some big life events that are coming up and the costs associated with that. However, in the future when we do go through with the work, I will definitely consider Advanced Home Energy. Thanks Dvir!

Description of Work: I purchased the deal. Email communication with the company was good. The appointment was made quickly. Later I changed my mind and called Advanced Home Energy to cancel the appointment. I did not reach a person, so I left a detailed message. That was about a week ago. Today I received an email saying I needed to contact Angie's List rather than the company. I did that, and Jon V. at Angie's List explained everything and sent a link so I could send this response. I have nothing negative to say about Advanced Home Energy--I just changed my mind.
