Thanks [member name removed] for another great review- Yea that was a tight crawlspace but we are becoming well known for accomplishing the seemingly impossible tasks we are called in to. Glad I could use the thermal camera as a freebie to you great folks for tightening up the rest of the air leaks around the home- Try to keep my secrets fully fixing the various leak zones I typically find! Thank You for your business in Alpha, New Jersey- Gotta like our ECODRIVE VEHICLES that have enlarged our service area- we can now help more people achieve REAL INDOOR COMFORT!

John is very knowledgeable about insulation techniques. He is genuinely enthusiastic about fixing problems and making the house warmer. He went above and beyond what we had agreed on in the estimate and fixed a few additional problems we found later for no extra charge. He does a quality job and takes pride in his work. His goal seems to be for his customers to notice a perceptible difference in how warm the house is and how much the heating costs have been lowered. He is very focussed on customer satisfaction since most of his work is through word of mouth or good reviews on Angie's list. After I paid the deposit, he was quick to schedule and do the work which was completed under a week after. His estimates were substantially lower than the others and he did everything he could to reduce the cost of the project by recommending only necessary and impactful work and not being wasteful. I would recommend Doctor Energy Smart if you have a cold house and want it insulated without breaking the bank.

I must say thanks for this well rounded review, or reflection of how I see my unusual position in this old industry. I am on every job, and do what my infrared camera says to do- create change by prioritizing the loss areas. anyone can stuff fiberglass or blow cellulose , but we install permanent insulation in all the right places. Sealing windows(25) in your home the way we do is fully unnoticeable but extremely helpful in cutting down on the convected cold. Your attack bird was a gas, we all got great pictures of you 4 foot long colorful creature, it was a pleasure to align and attack that old home. It was also a pleasure to hear we were 40-50% less costly than your other potential contractor! LOL

thanks folks! I do like to leave all jobs cleaner than upon our arrival- great little spot you have in the woods- I will likely stop by but call first to view results with my infrared camera to check results when in the area maybe during the holidays if you like! We found many baseboard leaks which is typical on slab foundations. Our recommendation to repair is easy and we know homeowners like to do these repairs themselves, all they need is our discovery and area focus! Your receptacles showed very leaky but we showed you a easy and thorough seal for those! Please close that big gable vent up asap and enjoy the change! Thanks again for your review! john

I am very impressed with John and his crew. I am a first time home-buyer and have really researched a lot of different companies for various services- including insulation when I noticed that my closet during the first real cold snap was colder than my freezer! I phoned Doctor Energy Smart and John (the President) was very responsive to my questions and came out to my home to inspect the area and make recommendations. John is very helpful and knowledgeable- and doesn't try and oversell. He focused on the problem area(s) of my home and the insulation has made a huge difference. John also goes out of the way to make sure the customer is happy not only with the services of his company but with the end product. I pointed out an area in my front hall closet to John- and he immediately fixed the area. He also was able to spray foam my hollow wood door leading to my attic and re-seal the inside of the door- which made an immediate impact. In conclusion- there is a lot of competition for insulation services- who doesn't want to be more comfortable in the winter- but I do recommend John- because of his knowledge and his customer focus. I would not hesitate to contact him again for any questions or additional services.

John Weinssen was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable about the insulation process. He and his workers were professional, curtious, and polite. I live in a twin home and had a problem with the smell of cigarette smoke coming into my half to the twin. Even though John had never heard of this happening before, he was able to diagnose the problem and fix it. Awesome for me because I have asthma. Thanks so much John!!

John and team did exactly what they set out to do. Insulated our crawlspace with Tiger Foam foam insulation and then added a foil seal over the floor joists to provide a better R-Value. They made a long trek to get here and when the first attempt didn't work due to equipment issues and cold temperatures, John and team made a promise to come back the following weekend to do the job property. John ensured the job was done right which was important to us.

Yes Chris have foam will travel! Our gas miser Eco-Drive Vehicles have expanded our service area exponentially and now folks living 80+ miles away can now get the Real-Deal on high-performance home insulation. We are proud to be almost sole installers of our R-16 radiant barrier foil. We tested most all of them and none match up with our "insulation competency" and durability! The wind tunnel we originally felt in your 17x25 crawlspace is gone and your beautiful house will have a warmer family kitchen and TV room. Be sure to open up that duct blockage, and take our advice on your sliding door issue and those great kids will love the living space you chose to insulate, great call! Our thermal camera test afterwards showed a warmer floor area. We use this infrared camera to be sure our work was thorough enough to create a real feel change. Thank you for your review, Happy Holidays! John

Doctor Energy Smart, led by the owner, John Weinssen, came and insulated our attic and soffits. He used a reflective foil radiant barrier that actually redirects the heat generated in our attic back out our attic vents. Our home has become much cooler and drier since we had this done in July. His installation has completely changed the comfort inside our home. It has actually substantially lowered our AC usage and lowered our electric bill! If you are looking for comfort and reduced cost, Doctor Energy Smart is your company. John is moving his business down from New Jersey and we recommend everyone insulate their house with his revolutionary insulation system.

Hey folks, great to hear from my favorite place in the USA! We (I) am so excited to be bringing my technology to your area, and folks there are in for a BIG surprise in how I change the weather IN their homes.! My soffit to peak turbocharged roofline air movement doesn't allow the roof heat to saturate the home because the heat is removed before it gets the chance! I will be traveling and installing my advanced product and technique to your area every 2 months or so (patience will be needed temporarily) until I personally move and (ha ha) retire there in a couple of years. Your homeowners are in for a big surprise relating to indoor air quality and comfort! This also quiets down the house (sound attenuation) so client's in high traffic (planes,trains, trucks) areas will love the sound attenuation it creates also. It has been awhile since your change so I would just like to thank-you for your review! John

It went very smooth. We cleared a 4 ft perimeter around the house as John specified and they came right in and laid out coverings for the floor and furniture. The whole process only took about 4-5 hours. They cleaned up and patched up the holes in the walls with one coat of Spackle as described in the quote. John was very punctual and thoroughly followed up with us prior to the job taking place. Looking forward to a warmer and quieter house moving forward. It's just day one and I can definitely tell the house is quieter. We're half a block away from Rt 17 and the sound of the highway has significantly been reduced. We may even use their services when we finish our basement next year.

We appreciated your business and great review! Hope we can be of service in the future with sprayfoam in your large attic- remember we purchase the needed foam chemicals just before spraying to give the best possible "fresh foam"- most foam companies buy it by the tractor trailer to save money, then store it in warehouses for a length of time we find unacceptable. Think of it as a can of paint in your shed- it does not get better over time- most foams now include a polyurethane based blowing agent- just like paint- much safer than the formaldyhide agent from the past! Thanks again! John

John was incredibly responsive from the time we purchased the Angies List deal. He came by the house twice, the first time to walk the entire house and provide an estimate. The second time to actually insulate the space. On the walkthrough John made several suggestions for how we could improve the efficiency of our home. When it came time for insulating he did the job quickly and cleanly. We've already noticed a difference in the house as it cools down. We were very happy with John's professionalism and timeliness. We've already recommended him personally to a friend in the area.

I got everything I wanted out of it at this point. John was very flexible with how large or small of a job to do, starting with the biggest problem areas first. With the camera, he noticed that the front walls of my old 1930's house and the gaps between the sill beams were the worst spots of heat loss. Instead of requiring that I do a whole house 15k + job, he had no problem with fixing the problem areas first. If I need more after this winter, I can get more walls done. During the sill beam work, the crew found a wood rot problem I had on one corner of the house, causing a wider hole than just the small air leaks around the rest of the house. This was the root cause of some water issues I had in my unfinished basement. The gap was plugged and the water problems are no longer existing. The crew stayed late to fix this unseen problem, at my appreciation. I have already noticed that the furnace hasn't had to kick on at all in the last couple of weeks with 45 degree nights (October). I'm looking forward to seeing some big savings in the cold months.
Description of Work: Came in with thermal camera to find worst spots along the house end of last winter. This summer, sill beam leaks were sealed with foam all around the house, semi-conditioned crawlspace was insulated with foil/gel rolls, and exterior walls in 3 small rooms were injected with foam.

The project was completed in two stages. Stage 1 10/4/2014: John and Roberto came to spray spray foam at house main sill and basement walls on 10/4; assessed and recommended improvements to attic/roof insulation. Stage 2 10/11-12/2014: John and Roberto returned the following weekend to remove original 73 year old insulation on day 1, returning on day 2 to spray foam and install foil throughout. Summary: John, Roberto and another helper worked quickly and efficiently, being very professional throughout the project. John was very helpful and very willing to answer all of our questions and to explain the physics of the new treatment and to evaluate our home for any future areas that may need attention. Although based in northern New Jersey, John was very willing to take the 2 hour drive to us in southern New Jersey, arriving exactly on time. The team was very careful and neat in their work. We highly recommend their work and would use them again if needed.
Description of Work: Stage 1: Assessed and sprayed spray foam TF 1350 at the house main sill and basement. Stage 2: Assessed, recommended and removed 64 linear feet 8'x6'x4.5 knee wall of original fiberglass insulation. Installed comfort foil in the same and 4' into rafter voids and chimney. Sprayed spray foam TF 1350 either side to roof peak and in 4.5 knee wall.

Himself and his crew arrived on a Friday afternoon, they went to work immediately. Doctor Energy Smart and crew spent nearly 12 hours removing all my old insulation in my upstairs. The following days were both about 12 hour days for him and his crew. While part of his crew was removing insulation, some workers were repairing soffits. The entire crew was pleasant and respectful. Himself and his crew made a typically stressful situation into an easy one. They were even able to remove the old insulation threw a window, thankful that I have that option. This allowed them to remove it without dragging it through my home. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to replace their insulation. I can truly feel the difference in my upstairs rooms. It has definitely made my house more comfortable overall.
Description of Work: Doctor Energy smart replaced my old insulation with brand new, highly reflective foil insulation(R-16 rated I believe). Also repaired an incorrectly installed peak vent. This also ensured optimal ventilation in my house. They also cleaned and repaired the soffits. Installer was thorough with clean up and left no mess.

During the summer the temperature in the attic can be unbearable. John and his team worked so hard! I cannot imagine working in the environment with 140 degrees, but they did it! Shortly after they fixed the attic "breathing" problem, I can feel the cooling in the bedrooms upstairs. I highly recommend John to those who are interested in having home insulated. I think John knows the correct way of insulating the house without preventing necessary air flows through the attic.
Description of Work: Mr. John Weinssen did a thorough inspection of my attic. He found the temperature in the attic can reach 140 degrees even in the morning. He quickly pinpointed the source of the temperature problem -- the lack of "breathing" of the house because of too much insulation. I learned from John that too much insulation can actually prevent the air flow that is needed for letting cold air pushing hot air out of the house. Two weeks later John came back with his team, and they fixed the attic "breathing" problem.

Hi [member name removed]- It was a pleasure to save you from an old school interpretation of your extremely hot attic. My competitors always say add more- I enjoy clients that Get It! More is not always better, wow what a change we made! Your roof will last longer, you will not slowly cause condensation from the hot bedrooms above mixed with air conditioning cold. Your energy bills and better air quality are a real PLUS! Thank-You so much for your business. I should make note here that the cost of the report was $349- the repairs were almost $3000 but in a home that size it was well worth the hard work for your benefit- Tell your friends Angies List found you a true "home insulator" !

John explained things very clearly over the phone when I first called to inquire about the possibility of adding insulation and how it could be done. We set up a date and everything went smooth. The quote was fair (I compared around). John was on time, always pleasant and patient. Everything was as cleaned up when he finished. Very satisfied with the process!

We had an issue with cold floors in the space above the unheated garage. Jim and John came out and suggested the scope of work required to rectify the issue. After doing my own research their suggestions did make sense and we proceeded with the project. They were very responsive and professional, actually above and beyond of anything i have ever experienced from any contractor. John had came out one of the Saturday to conduct a thermal analysis (at no charge) of the house. When we found the weak spots he suggested all the fixes and helped me caulked the baseboard which was the largest part of the job. Jim also came out for an extra few hours the day after the job was completed to make sure all was well and helped me reuse the old insulation ion another part of the garage. If you are looking to make your home energy efficient spray foam is the way to go and Doctor Energy Smart are the guys to do it.

[member name removed] as we called him sat us down after we completed his task and spoke of internet review validity. We agreed that Angies List was the closest to the truth in contractor quality. We take all our Tasks very seriously and really strive for a BIG result that people will notice not just imagine. Insulation Contractors previously only cared about going in and going out of people's homes ,collect a check, and on to the next home. We want a longer term result that gets them to tell their friends! All that said, we are glad for your result, by now your baby has been born and we know we made your townhouse a more thermally comfortable place to raise your loved one- it was nice to meet and help you enjoy that Hudson River Location. We hope you too will tell your friends! Thank You! The Team!

They did an outstanding job from end-to-end, from pre-sales and site assessment through installation and billing, with professionalism and courtesy, and at a reasonable price. Their knowledge of the benefits of spray-foam insulation and its advantages over traditional batting insulation was excellent and their approach to focus on the perimeter of the foundation and sill-plate was not only more cost-effective (vs. spray-foaming the entire underside area where the batting was before), it has better overall insulation/thermal performance; this made the decision to use their product and service much easier for me. Since I’m a bit picky about materials and their safety and potential health-effects (e.g. low-toxicity, low-flammability, environmentally-friendly), I contacted the manufacturer of the spray foam to ensure that my requirements were being met. Dr. Energy Smart® did select the best product for my application. They also did a vapor barrier assessment of my crawl space floor to ensure that the spray foam could be used in the correct location so that I would not have future mold issues in my crawl space after installation. The installers were also knowledgeable, skillful, professional, and did a great job, including adding spray-foam in a few strategic spots that were where pipes and electrical wires went up into my first floor and second floor. The billing process went smoothly and their office manager Kate was also very nice and knowledgeable. She resolved a non-taxable item that saved me even more money. I highly recommend Dr. Energy Smart for spray foam insulation home improvement based on my experience with them.
