Ann and I recently had the pleasure of working with Ben Meyer from Star Energy Consultants, and we couldn't be happier with the service he provided. Ben conducted a comprehensive assessment of our home, covering everything from insulation, air sealing, attic, ceiling fan, windows, doors, heating and air conditioning, duct sealing, to our lighting. His attention to detail and thoroughness were truly impressive. Ben's knowledge and expertise in energy conservation and efficiency were immediately evident. After the assessment, he took the time to explain his findings and provided us with a range of practical recommendations on how to save energy and reduce our utility costs. What truly set Ben apart was his ability to connect us with skilled professionals who could carry out the necessary work. This made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Not only did Ben Meyer identify areas where we could improve our energy efficiency, but he also helped us find trusted contractors to carry out the recommended upgrades. As a result of his guidance, we've already noticed a reduction in our electric bill, and I believe we're well on our way to a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective home. Ben's professionalism, friendly demeanor, and dedication to his work made the experience enjoyable. He genuinely cares about his clients and their well-being. Thanks to his expertise and recommendations, we feel like we've saved a substantial amount of money, both in getting reliable contractors and with energy savings in the long run. I wholeheartedly recommend Ben Meyer and Star Energy Consultants to anyone looking to improve their home's energy efficiency. If you want to save money while making your home more environmentally friendly, Ben is the person to call. Thank you, Ben, for your outstanding service and for helping us make our home more energy-efficient and comfortable.

We couldn't be more pleased with Star Energy Consultants work. Mr. Meyer performed the assessment in a professional and friendly manner. He pointed out many simple fixes for problem areas. We have a very high level of confidence in Mr. Meyer and his company. The best part of Star Energy's service is that they can help provide estimates from competent tradespeople to perform the recommended work. They also follow-up on the the rebates for us. We are going to implement all of Star Energy's recommendations, which were not as expensive as we were dreading. We look forward to achieving a higher level of temperature comfort in our home. We wish we had done this several years ago. Why did we wait so long?

The air sealing guy did great and even gave me some tips on mud jacking vs. foam on our driveway area. Everyone was very professional, friendly, and did a fantastic job! I couldn't be happier with the level of service we received at such a fair price! Energy Star Consultants were a fraction of the price quoted by other companies and they took care of all the rebates!
Description of Work: Star Energy Consultants came out and did an Energy Audit and scheduled all services preformed on our home. We have used them twice now, the first time was on our last house and we saw immediate results after the insulation. Our first house was a small raised ranch and didn't need nearly the amount of our current home and the Air Sealing wasn't offered back then. I am very excited to see how the comfort level improves in our current home and how much we save on the utilities. This house is a two story and it is always hot in the summer and cold in the winter upstairs. The garage had no insulation over the 3rd car area and you could seriously see your breath in there during the winter months!

We ended up adding attic insulation and sealing the area between the floor joists in the basement. Ben went above and beyond to help with rebates. He even got us a rebate that went into effect after our completion and got it approved. We would never have known that we missed the rebate. Plus, he had great recommendations for companies to add the insulation and sealer. I highly recommend him.

Ben was very professional and informative in his services. He identified several areas where my older home could be beefed up in the energy savings department. No only did he identify areas of need but also had suggestions of how to fix the items. I also appreciated that it was not a vessel for him to up sell me on his own services. Ben showed me the areas that needed work and then simply suggested ways I could fix them to include using other contractors' services. The report I got was detailed and rivaled most home inspection reports. Overall I was very satisfied.
Description of Work: Energy audit was done of my whole home to find areas where I could save money and reduce energy usage.

Ben Meyer was really a pleasure to work with! He was very courteous, professional, prompt, and helpful. He performed the energy audit and provided a report as agreed, and made suggestions. I chose which steps to take now based on the report -- air sealing and additional insulation in the attic -- and he provided contact information for the service providers. All the work was done promptly and satisfactorily, and I paid Ben for it. He then did the paperwork required for the rebate, which arrived in the mail today. I had to schedule the appointments for the work myself, but there wasn't much else for me to do.
Description of Work: I purchased a $299 energy audit package off Angie's List, had the audit done, and followed up with some of the suggestions, using the recommended contractors.

Ben was very prompt. He was very thorough, yet very expeditious. He was more than willing to answer any questions we had, relevant or not. He was very friendly, yet professional and informative. His services were well worth the cost ($299). One of the best things about Ben was the fact that Energy Auditing is his exclusive profession. What I mean by that is he doesn't own a Heating & Air Conditioning or an Insulating business and do the Energy Auditing on the side, which in my opinion, is a conflict of interest. He did not try to upsell me to any other services or unnecessary equipment. As a matter of fact, he told me I could make all the improvements myself, at a very lost cost. I highly recommend Ben and his services! I will definitely refer him to all my friends, co-workers, and even strangers whom I know who owns a home. 100% A+ work! Thanks Ben!
Description of Work: Ben performed a whole home energy audit on the property we are about to purchase. He checked the furnace, a/c, attic insulation, seals around all windows and doors, etc...things that you would expect. He also checked in our tray ceiling in the Master Bedroom, around recessed lighting, piping coming through the wall under the sinks, the attic fan vent, and even the crawl space behind the closet under the stairwell...which are places I didn't automatically think about. Following the inspection, Ben pointed out things that could be improved upon by actually showing me, as well as explaining it to me and answering any questions I had. This work was done on a late Wednesday afternoon. He had my invoice emailed to me the next morning, and Friday morning the full 27 page report which included his findings, recommendations, and even resources to help with the solutions, not to mention available rebates!

Ben provided a comprehensive audit, very detailed with all the areas that had opportunities for improvement as well as what was fine with no action required. He also provided estimates with some suggestions for vendors which worked out great as it saved me time searching for them, and the ones I used did a great job with no issues. One important finding was the fact that one of our hot water heaters was producing high levels of carbon monoxide. ( Luckily it was contained within the flue and we have 2 40 gallon heaters so could just turn it off.) We since replaced both heaters since they were 15 years old. He came back in March and performed the post audit and showed me the results. I was more than satisfied with Ben?s work and professionalism.
Description of Work: A pre and post energy audit and safety check on my home which resulted in a list of recommendations for insulation and weatherization, as well as identifying water heater concerns.

Description of Work: I had called another energy auditor and had an audit performed. I was very confused by the audit results and called Star Energy consultants.

Ben was super nice and always 100% professional. He always had the necessary equipment with him to do the job. He even referred me to a very affordable company to add the insulation to the attic at a reduced price. As a senior citizen, I appreciated even more that he kept in touch by email and followed up to make sure that I was completely satisfied with every aspect of the job, from start to finish. He worked with both the window company and the insulation folks. I felt that Ben really cared about getting me the best service from everyone along the line, and he certainly did so! I would highly recommend him!
Description of Work: Both before and after the installation of new windows, Ben checked the air efficiency. He even checked the old windows that were not replaced and was able to make recommendations for additional insulation in the attic.

This Energy Audit was done in conjunction with our decision to replace our 85 year old leaky iron casement windows with Energy Star rated double pane windows that we purchased from Morning Star Windows and Siding in Raytown. Several days after the examination, we received a written Home Energy Audit Report indicating any problems and offering suggestions as to fixing them. Also included was a list of Incentives, Rebates & Credits from energy companies and suggestions as to local contractors that could perform any attic insulation that may need to be done.We were very happy with this service
Description of Work: The consultant "Ben" examined our house from attic to basement including a pressure test to determine how much leakage existed. He indicated those areas where we could improve insulation and save on energy costs.
