Description of Work: Mohammed performed an audit for my house back in October of 2018. He was very professional and knowledgeable. The report identified some key area’s I knew needed to be addressed, but at the time I was undecided if I wanted to have the work completed. Fast forward 6 mos. later Mohammed happen to reach out to me via email to let me know that there were additional energy savings rebates. After a few back and forth emails and realizing I would receive more than half the cost of the project back in rebates, I decided to move forward with the recommended insulation and sealing work. The Hess team arrived during the allotted time frame and began the process of setting up, making sure to cover the floor surfaces where they would be working. The workers were very professional and courteous. They completed all work agreed to in the contract and little more, they showed me all areas they had insulated and sealed. The work completed caused a 60% improvement air change rate and I can tell a difference already. I haven’t had to turn on my AC as often as I did this same time last year. I highly recommend working this company.

I had an excellent experience with Mo and his team. Extremely professional and highly skilled. Even the workers Mo used seemed to understand all the nuisances of the type of work they were doing and all the benefits it brings to a home owner. After the work we immediately noticed the difference in comfort. The house, especially in the upstairs bedrooms are much more comfortable temperature wise. The a/c also is kept at a higher temperature (71 vs 68 ) which is critical for energy savings in the summer months. I would recommend HESS to help you save money and add comfort to your home.
Description of Work: HESS conducted a home energy audit and did extensive additions of insulation in my attic and air leak reduction in my home.

As noted, the workers worked hard ,protected the house furnishings and overall did an efficient job. With the recent cold weather we have noticed that our house is much warmer than before.

In the simplest and clearest terms possible, Mo was awesome throughout the whole process. My wife and I bought a house at the end of December, and in order to incorporate funding from an Energy Efficient Mortgage into the home loan, we had to have an energy audit completed before closing. We had to find a provider on very short notice who could perform the audit within about a 2 week window. I contacted about 5 vendors, and Mo was the only one who could do it in our very short timeline. On top of that, he was able to get our audit report delivered to us over the weekend, providing it on the last Sunday evening before Christmas, two days after the audit was physically performed. I should also mention we were a little bit north of their service area, but Mo provided the service to us anyway - a huge plus. Mo was extremely responsive through all communication mediums (email, text and phone). Mo was very gracious and answered all of my many questions without ever skipping a beat and without any long response time delays. After the audit report and recommended improvements were reviewed, Mo and I discussed a few different approaches. I was debating between spray foam insulation and a more traditional, less expensive approach (caulking, fiberglass, cellulose, etc). Mo provided multiple bids to give an idea of the cost differences and discussed the pros and cons of the different approaches with me. In the end, I went with the less expensive traditional approach, and got absolutely no "hard sell" from Mo on the more expensive spray foam. He did not push one solution over another, and left the decision to me, which I appreciated. When it came to project execution, Mo was A1 again. He worked with me to get a roofer over to install and external bath fan vent on a Saturday, minimizing during-the-week disruption (wife and I both work regular hours). The day the majority of the project was completed was a full day to say the least. His crew showed up promptly at 8am, as scheduled, and started to work immediately. They covered everything in plastic and wore booties to keep the house clean as they worked. Everyone was quiet, efficient, and careful. With the exception of a lunch break, the crew worked almost a 12 hour day to get everything done in one shot. Mo was there the whole time supervising and ensuring everything that was promised was in fact accomplished, and that it was done correctly. Once the project was done, Mo showed me what was done and told me to give him a call if I felt anything was wrong or needed to be corrected after they left. In sum, the entire process absolutely exceeded my expectations by a wide margin. Mo and his crew were timely, professional, and left us with a much more comfortable house. Another big plus is that Mo understands the Energy Efficient Mortgage and BG&E rebate processes, and works with you to make sure they go smoothly. Overall, it was a great experience and I strongly recommend them.

It went very well. I paid $4000 because there's also a opportunity to get some of those ducts from our local service provider. What stood out to me was how professional and efficient they were. They were really careful to make sure that because I knew what they were going to do, it could be a little messy. One of the basics came. It was pouring outside so they put plastic everywhere. So every time they went in and out the house, there was nothing being dragged into our house. They took care of everything to make sure that it was not a day of test in any way. They were really conscientious. They gave us a guarantee as well.
Description of Work: They went in and sealed all of our ducts so that they could be more energy-efficient. They did a whole testing on that. They came in and fixed the insulation within our attic canal so that we would be able to save on our energy use and heating & cooling. They came in first and did the auditing and then they came back to do the rest of it. A computer goes in and goes through all your duct work and looks for leaks and they sealed them up.

Purchased an Angies List deal for $100 for the home energy audit. Mohammad was extremely responsive and friendly via email. He sent a detailed list of the scope of the work to be performed prior to the audit. He showed up on time and was just as friendly and professional in person. After he completed his work, he explained what he found and what items we should be concerned about, which ones weren't that important and which ones weren't cost effective to complete. He also sent over a very detailed report after. We ended up contracting with him to complete some of the major work around insulation deficiencies we had in the home and they did a great job. They were on time, clean, polite and worked quickly and respectfully around myself and my kids who were at home for spring break. Mohammad came through a couple of times during the day to check in and did a final blower test at the end of the work. He also walked me through the work they completed. He even completes all of the PEPCO paperwork for the $2000 energy rebate we are entitled to (which I was previously unaware of). I've already recommended him and his crew to other folks and would highly recommend working with them.

Mohammed did an inspection of my home but his report was stolen, here is his email to me: Hello John, Sorry for the delay on the report, my car was broken into and my briefcase and laptop were stolen Tuesday morning while I was doing an audit in NW- I've been very busy with that. The notes I had taken during your audit was there as well. I had already written the report and had started on the modeling and quotes, but that is gone. I will re-do your report based on the images I have, memory (especially since I already wrote it), as well as the info on the T&C sheet that we signed. Due to the report possibly not being as detailed as I usually do it, and the lateness of it since I had told you by yesterday, I will go ahead and refund your portion of the payment.

Hello [removed member name], I take customer service very seriously, and strive to provide only A quality service. I have just double checked, I did send you a 15-page report with nearly 20 images, as well as an energy model of your home. Due to my not having the notes, there may have been the possibility of something being left off the reports. That, and the fact that I sent your reports 1 day after I told I would, is the reason I unilaterally contacted Angie's List to fully refund your purchase. I have resent you the e-mail with the reports, and will call on Monday to confirm the receipt. Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience. Thanks, Mo Thank youe-mail, and will

Mohammed conducted an energy audit of our 1950's rambler. He had some very insights about the design of the house, its advantages and disadvantages for energy efficiency, and possible improvements. He identified several sources of air leakage and subpar insulation and suggested improvements.

We are very, very pleased. Mo is a professional who knows his stuff. He is also very congenial. The workers obviously knew what they were doing and didn’t skimp corners while crawling around my attic (I know, because I was around to watch them!). And, the earthquake that occurred during their lunch break didn’t faze them in the least!
Description of Work: Home Energy Solutions performed a professional energy audit that included pressurizing the house and determining where air leakage was occurring using a thermal imaging device. HES prepared a report and included recommendations. We contracted with HES to seal the penetrations in and through the attic to prevent warm air from escaping from the living area into the attic during the winter and hot air in the attic from escaping into the living area during the summer. HES also blew in an additional 12-15” of fiberglass insulation in the attic, and took extra care to ensure that the blown in insulation did not come in contact with the underside of the roof. Finally, they used expanding foam to seal the sill plate that was exposed in the basement. Following the completion of the remedial work, HES returned and performed a follow-up study to confirm that the house was now much tighter and better insulated; it was. The energy audit also revealed some smaller energy efficiency projects that I hope to undertake myself. In the 1 ½ years since the work, we have noticed that the house is much more comfortable than before and our utility bills are noticeably lower, especially during the torrid summer in 2012.

He took the time to look at every corner of my house and provided valuable suggestions to help improve my house's efficiency. I was most impressed when he mailed two boxes of light bulbs that he had forgotten to gave me on the day of inspection. I didn't even know I was supposed to receive any additional products.
