We were very pleased with services provided by Rick Hunt/American Home Performance. The energy audit was interesting to watch. They set up a blower to pull outside air into the house and Rick showed us on an infrared measuring tool where we had greater air infiltration. He prepared a comprehensive report recommending changes to improve energy efficiency and decrease energy bills. His report laid out a menu of recommended improvements, why the change is recommended, how much it is expected to save in future energy costs if the improvement is made, and available rebates for each improvement (from SMECO utility company). Some of the changes required follow on work for additional cost (e.g., increasing attic insulation to R-49). However, some of the recommended changes were quick no-cost changes (e.g., re-laying insulation that had been displaced when we replaced light fixtures, and adding caulk to a seam in the basement where basement wall meets floor). We subsequently contracted with American Home Performance to add insulation to our attic, weatherstrip/seal around openings/penetrations between attic and living space; and correct the venting of two bathroom exhaust fans. The workers were prompt, quick, and neat.

They did a fantastic job!! They were professional, quick and did everything exactly as described. There were no surprises and Rick talked us through the entire process step by step and explained what the benefits would be in the short term and long term. We were very pleased with Rick and his company as well as the efficiency of his process in getting a refund from the power company. The entire work was estimated at about $11k and we received $7,500 back in refunds.
Description of Work: Rick worked with us on Delmarva Power’s Home Performance Program in assessing our needs, reviewing our options and working with Delmarva to get us the maximum allowable refund and ensure that our home was well insulated and energy efficient. We had our entire house insulated, including attics, cantilever, and outside walls. They re insulated our crawl space and sealed all open air spaces in electrical, plumbing, light fixtures, etc. I am certain there are items I am missing in that list as well.

American Home Performance provided excellent energy efficiency report, installation and service. Rick performed a home energy review and suggested work to be done. He provided a detailed report with information and pricing for each item and did not push me to contract for all services recommended. The pricing was fair and Rick credited my BGE rebate to the cost Ii needed to pay. The insulation and attic sealing work I had performed by his crew in February was accomplished in one, very long day for them, but they were determined to finish and cleaned up everything before they left. Rick came back to do testing to ensure everything was installed properly. I would recommend this company. Fair pricing and professional service.

I would recommend an energy audit by Mr.Hunt to any homeowner who wants to know ways to reduce utility bills and have a safer and healthier home environment. Thanks to him I now know far more than I thought I knew about what my house needs. Mr. Hunt's service was well worth his modest fee.

I Hired Rick from AHP to do a BGE contracted home energy audit. He was efficient and professional during both the audit and the resulting repairs. When a mold issue was discovered he communicated with the mold guy I hired to come up with the best solution for me, even if it meant that he would have had to give me a rebate from our original contract. I would definitely recommend AHP.

I could not have been happier with the service provided and the success of the insulation. The workmen were professional and conscientious of being in our home. They cleaned up behind themselves and I did not know they had ever been in my home when they were finished. The owner, Rick, was in constant contact to answer any questions or concerns. His staff pointed out a leaking pipe underneath the house that we were not aware of, so this was a great help to us! I highly recommend this company. You will not be disappointed. The insulation has made a significant decrease in our oil usage during the cold winter months. The insulation has also made a positive impact on the A/C.
Description of Work: We contracted with American Home to provide insulation for our home through a BGE program. American Home is a certified contractor for this program. The attic had outdated insulation and there was zero under the house. American Home provided us with an accurate estimate and informative energy audit. All paperwork for submitting for an energy rebate from BGE was performed by American Home. Each phase was thoroughly explained in layman's terms.

I felt total confidence in his professionalism, knowledge and skills. He provided low energy use light bulbs and low flow shower heads for free as part of his service at no additional cost. I received my home energy audit in less than the week promised and it detailed all I needed to do to lower my energy bills. I would hire him again without hesitation.

Rick arrived before the day of installation to examine what needed to be done, and to speak with us about our options. This entire home energy audit/home energy performance package was due to BGE, as that is where we first found American Home Performance. After discussing our options with Rick, we determined to use loose cellulose, rather than loose fiberglass, and to air-seal the basement as well as the attic. Rick helped us to understand all of the options and what the various tradeoffs were. On the day of installation, Rick arrived with his crew and helped them get set up. His two workers did all of the insulating, that I could see, and were very thorough. I was not able to stay for the entire work process, but I did see the end result when they were finished. Knowing where they started from, they did a great job. After everything was done, a blower-door test was performed to gauge how successful everything was. We had cut the air changes per hour (how drafty the house is) by more than half (and we were quite drafty to begin with). Overall, we were very pleased with the results, and will certainly consider using American Home Performance for additional insulation work in the future.
Description of Work: Blew in loose cellulose insulation in attic; sealed all attic penetrations with expanding foam; properly vented two bathroom fans; sealed all basement penetrations; installed fiberglass batt insulation along mudsill in basement.

Recommendations include replacing one deteriorating glass entry door and weatherstripping another one, Insulation recommendations include re-sealing some batt insulation which is pulling away and adding additional loose fill, light fixtures in the second floor ceiling and attic entry hatch from the second floor need insulation. Recommendations were made to seal some leaks in the conditioned air ductwork as it meets the ceiling register of the 2nd floor. Appliances that are old are less efficient and it was recommended to upgrade these with energy star appliances.
Description of Work: spent 3 hours going through house measuring carbon monoxide, air leakage through windows and doors with blower, evaluating energy efficiency of current insulation, heating/air conditioning system, duct system that carries conditioned air, appliances, lighting, water heater, identified sources of moisture/mildew formation . Provider sent detailed report with photos and recommendations for work that would improve efficiency, cost of work and how much would be saved. ,

Response from American Home Performance LLC
Just a clarification: The minor damage referred to in the review was a small chip in the drywall around a bathroom ceiling fan. We patched and repainted the drywall and the repair was completed within a few days of the project completion.

I was looking for an energy audit. I looked on the BGE website to look for a good company and then compared that list to Angie's list of companys, and found that both companies had American Home Performance on their list. Was able to get a Sat appt, and Rick came and showed us things about our home that we didn't even know about. After the survey was done, we received a very lengthly written evaluation of recommendations. I was very impressed with the American Home Performance Company!
Description of Work: We have a cold house and wanted an energy audit done. Rick came to our house on a Saturday and spent 4 hours going all over our house inside and out. Rick spent a lot of time explaining things to my husband and he was very knowledgable. Rick brought equipment with him that could read wall temperatures and showed us how and where cold air was getting in. I was impressed that Rick did not try to "sell us" anything that was not needed, and he was very professional. I would highly recommmend this company!
