They came on time. They did what they promised they would do. They did an excellent job. They cleaned up before they left.

They were honest by explaining to me why I shouldn't blow insulation into my walls because the siding is wood and would cause mold issue. Other companies would do the work even though they shouldn't.

it is 100 degrees outside today and our second floor is 73 degrees! Before we had this wonderful company add insulation it was 85 degrees outside and 80 degrees inside. Mike and his crew knew what we needed and fixed the problem quickly and efficiently. Absolutely would hire them again!

Amazing response and amazing job done, in a short amount of time. I have known for awhile that I needed more insulation in the attic. I started to search for insulation companies in the area. I quickly started seeing a pattern with reviews on other companies. All of them were, "called 15 times, never called back", "agreed on a start date but never showed up", "showed up but didn't know what was needed"... I was dreading making any decision on who to call. But then finally a company stood out above all the rest, Energy Nerds. I called Mike and left a message. He called back within an hour and even apologized for not calling back sooner! What?!? I called him on a Friday afternoon, he said he would be out Sunday afternoon and the job was completed by that evening! Truly amazing work done in a short amount of time. Mike and Dustin are great friendly people. Very knowledge in cutting edge technology to help you save money with energy costs. Mike is well informed so if you have any other energy saving needs, please talk with him. I would not hesitate to hire them again. Truly a pleasure to work with.
