Energy Efficiency Auditing

About us

We examine your Insulation, air sealing, windows, doors, heating and air conditioning, duct sealing & lighting. We don't perform ANY work ourselves (one of very few companies who do that)...But we know who the best companies are for you to work with, so we're happy to give you recommendations and coordinate all of the work on your behalf, saving you time, money and effort! Star Energy provides Independent, third-party home energy assessments for consumers to save money and be more comfortable in their homes. We're the only company in the area that gives Angie's List members instant rebates for qualifying upgrades from utilities including MGE and KCPL for energy efficiency projects. That can save you hundreds of dollars in up front costs! We are Kansas City's largest energy audit company, completing more audits since 2010 in the State of Missouri and Kansas than any other company, earning us the EPA's century award the past 6 years.

Description of Work: Star Energy evaluated the house for energy efficiency, checked the attic insulation, checked from attic to basement for places that could be caulked, checked the furnace and air. Based on the evaluation, provided document with recommendations from which we selected what we felt would provide the biggest benefit. They were always respectful, explained what they were doing, and addressed my many questions. After improvements were made, they did another air test that showed better efficiency. We look forward to no longer being one of the least efficient of the 100 homes in our area.

Description of Work: We had air leak problem in the kitchen. That section was 10 degree colder than the rest of the house during winter. We had Ben do energy audit to spot the problem and suggest improvement. He provided list of what to do and recommend an independent energy contractor to do the work for additional $745 (paid to the contractor, not to him). The result went well. The air leak problem was solved. In addition, the fix helps cool down the master bedroom and they sealed the gap that leaks hot air from the ceiling to the room during the hot days in March. This makes room more comfortable and possible saves energy in the long run. The overall experience was very good. I would recommend everyone to do hire Ben to do the energy audit first before making any other energy improvement on your house.

Ben gave very good ideas, and I implemented them. The problems I encountered where with communication. He came to my home and said he'd email the recommendations -- a week later I needed to remind him to send the report, which he did promptly. I called several months later for him to retest the home, but didn't hear from him, by phone or by email. I kept calling the office and finally received a call-back from someone else. This is when I learned that Ben needed to be out of state for an extended period of time because of a family emergency. When he returned, he contacted me to arrange the retest. I needed to reschedule because of my own family emergency. When we did meet, he retested the house and showed me other areas which I could redo because I misunderstood the original suggestions. He said he would email me with the amount I would be rebated and how I would receive it (check or credit on my electricity account). As before, I didn't hear from him -- had to email a couple of times for a response. Finally received the check, for more than he estimated I'd receive.
Description of Work: Made recommendations for things to make my home more airtight.

I hope that you were able to get everything that you needed, and if there's anything we can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to call us.

After some frustration initially with getting Energy Star to respond to my calls, everything went very well. Evidently, the person we bought the coupon from had taken leave from the company. When my repeated calls and emails finally got to someone, things proceeded smoothly. | |The inspection was much more involved than we expected. The man who did it was contracted out by Star Energy not actually employed by them. He was on time, very personable and thorough. He spent over an hour going through the house, then spent all the time I needed answering my questions. The report was emailed to me within a week. We didn't expect a second follow up inspection by the department that runs the energy rebate program for the state. They basically repeated everything the Star Energy person did. It was nice to get a second opinion, but it took another couple hours of our time and seemed redundant. |The next part of their service is to help us file the necessary paperwork to receive rebates for the work we do over the next year. Hopefully, that will go well.

Thanks [member name removed]! You guys did such a great job with the sealing and insulation you made to your home, I'm hoping you enjoy the comfort and utility bill improvements for years and years to come! Don't hesitate to call or email if there's anything at all I can help you with. I'm assuming you got all of the rebates from the utility companies that we were able to obtain for you, and hopefully that helped, too!

Star Energy Consultants were perfectly fine. They did a great job and he has given me roughly $1,500.00 worth of recommendations on things to get done, which would generate about $600.00 or more in rebates from my energy companies. The first thing was to have additional attic insulation and that's already scheduled. He did a very, very nice job. I really enjoyed talking to him. We talked about how he got into the business and how things are going. I have nothing bad to say about him. He was just wonderful. The nice thing is, it was not a bait and switch or a hard sell. It's consulting and clear information to help me manage the energy uses of my house better. I will be using him in the future. I'm actually doing so, because I am following up on some suggestions and he serves as the coordinator for it. I mean, I could go straight to the insulation company myself. He gave me their name. But he said it will be easier if he sets it up. So, it's great.

I had an energy analysis evaluation completed to find out if there was anything I could improve in my home to save energy. Ben came out and was great, I have no complaints at all about my experience. He was very nice and helpful. He even said there was a program that you can file with the city and state to get available refunds. Ben filed all the paperwork to get involved with this program and see if I qualified for the refunds. He referred me to several other people with different services to assist in things like insulation, etc. to improve on saving energy. I would use this company again.

They did a good job. They did an energy audit. They don't do the follow up service they just do the recommendation. They did all the paperwork, they just don't provide the insulation and such, they are just there to help you with the audit. They follow up to make sure that you get the services that you need. He was very friendly and helpful. I think that he is very professional.

They did a good job us. Ben was very nice, helpful, and prompt. He filed all of the necessary paperwork with our energy company, and his follow up was appreciated. The only complaint is that Ben’s referral for armor insulation missed a few areas while working, and he hasn’t been responsive to our calls for follow-up.

First, Ben arrived promptly and even contacted me the day before with a list of information I will need to provide. He explained the process he would be doing and after each process he again explain any deficencies. His audit took roughly 1 hour and because there is a program available in KC, MO. he offered to walk me through the whole process. I was very impressed and grateful for all his help and the through audit. There are other papers I will need for the program and Ben has stated he will send those papers.
