Stellar Energy Audits

It went really well. I am happy I got in on this deal. I would like to thank Michael for making sure everything went smoothly by scheduling everything in a timely manner. The audit was done by Andy Wildenberg, from The E3POWER Economic Energy Efficiency Co. He couldn't have been more patience or nicer. He provided me with a number to resources I didn't realize I was eligible for, such as, The Home Energy Squads Team. I paid $179.00 for the deal, and $75.00 to the Squad Team. An energy tech. came out replaced my thermostat, changed light bulbs to CFLs/LEDs bulbs, and replaced the weather stripping on my door. At the end of my audit I received a proposal from Stellar for other things I need to have done.

We went with an Angies List Deal for the energy audit, which turned out to be a very good deal! The energy audit was subcontracted by Stellar to E3 Power, who were excellent! They took infrared photos, blower tests, got into the crawl space and attic, checked the furnace and air conditioner, the whole nine yards. It was a very thorough check of the entire house and all its systems! The main recommendations for our situation were for more insulation in the attic, and for sealing the crawl space to make it part of the house interior. After the audit, we got estimates from several companies in addition to Stellar for the insulation and sealing work, and ended up going with one of the other companies for the work. But now that it has been several years since the audit and insulation work, I am considering paying for another audit to see just how much improvement we got from implementing the recommendations (plus, we recently replaced our 30-year-old windows, which was one of their longer term recommendations). I would not hesitate to contact Stellar and E3 to do an energy audit!

Fine. Still waiting for the report to see what needs to be done.

We had a small issue at the start of our experience with Stellar Energy in getting a time for them to come out and do the actual audit, but from that point on their service was what you expect from any business. Robi who performed the audit was a complete profession and showed us exactly where we were losing the heat from our home. Their pricing was within our budget, and the work performed was great. For the first time in the 5 years we have owned our home the temperature is the same in every room in the house. We are even eligible for a rebate from Xcel energy because of the work Stellar did for us.

The audit went well. They worked with me and my tenant to perform an energy audit and provided a detailed report with their recommendations. I could not be there in person because I now live out of state, but the staff set up a phone appointment to review the report. They also provided an estimate for some of the work that I said I was interesting in having done. They were easy to work with, thorough, and punctual.

It turned out just fine. The engineer was thorough and scheduling was excellent. I have not called them for the follow up conversation. They have been contacting me wanting to go over this.

Went well. Initial visit was educational and clear as to options to improve household insulation. Pricing was fair, and they helped to file for rebates with Xcel. Work was completed as scheduled, along with nice explanation of how things went and what was actually done to the house.

They did a good job. I have no problems with them whatsoever. They were here around the end of December and we spent the value of the deal with them. I got valuable service and it was well done.

Without my prior knowledge, a sub-contractor showed up instead of someone from Stellar Energy Audits. I was not too happy especially since I chose this company from Angies List. They could have let me known prior. The subcontractor seemed to do a good job though. The day of the review, I had an appt at 10 am to go over the results and was called 2 hours before the appt saying they had to reschedule because they didnt have the paperwork yet. I was furious and let them know it was unacceptable to call 2 hours first thing in the morning to cancel appt instead of the night before. That is unprofessional on both levels. I then got a call back 10 min later saying they could still come??? I would have rated a C for having to deal with all that crap, but the review was extremely thorough and we really appreciated how they spent time explaining everything and answered all our questions.

Received a full 40 page report with all of the places where energy efficiency could be improved. Very thorough, I would recommend everyone get an energy audit. One of the best $100 I've ever spent.

This company performed the audit and collected/submitted the proper information to receive rebates (I didn't have to do it). They provided a nice succinct report regarding the air leaks, insulation, venting, and energy analysis for the home. On the follow up visit they provided a quote to for solutions and did not push that we buy any services. It was a great way to get a plan and idea of what to do going forward. We decided not to buy any service at this time but will likely use this company in the future when we decide to do the work.

There were some initial issues with implementation and methodology, but they made everything good in the end.

They did a very good job all around. The energy audit was performed in an efficient manner and then the follow on work was performed to spec and on time.

Great team.

I had been wanting to do an energy audit for some time and used Angie's list to find a provider. Stellar Energy Audit was one of the few companines who not only had an A rating, but also helped my avoid the hassle of filling out the paperwork to get the rebate from Xcel Energy. By signing over the rebate to Stellar, they charge you the discounted rate up front and take care of getting the rebate themselves. When they came to my house for the audit, they were very knowlegeable, thorough, and were very respectful of my home. I felt that they took sufficient time and interest in getting to know my specific home (it was built in 1898 and remodeled in 2005) and it showed in the report they shared in the follow-up visit. Great service!

While this cost a fair amount of money, we believe the cost savings will be amortized in a very few years. The staff and contractors with Stellar were some of the best I ever seen. Very professional and explained everything. No surprises or unknowns with costs. We recommend them for working the entire house envelop.

They were very professional, extremely thorough, the most comprehensive in there estimate, the gentleman were punctual, very careful as far as cleanliness, extremely courteous, the work was excellent.
