"Would not recommend them to my most hated enemy. Was red flags fromt he Start using them Via Nyserda, there was zero communication on what the scope of work they were going to do. Just 2 estimate sheets 1. for 5k for electrical work and, 1 for 2200 for insulation.... Red flag 1, Tom told me it was 1k for a free service that I had to get clarified, and 5k for a breaker box and 40 breakers and 1 outlet hooked up seems a bit expensive, especially when I Had to contact them to tell them what box I wanted after they never got ahold of me. Second red flag was the insulation...a bare estimate with no scope of where the insulation was to go. Was it going in the attic? The unfinished basement? The unfininshed bathroom in the basement? The Garage? Where was it going to go? So when date came, I went to work. They called complaining, well me too maybe you should tell customers What you plan to do in their house...you know since they own it, not John Betlem."

"Two years ago they insulated all walls in our home. A year ago we reached out and asked that they look at a wall in a room that was absolutely freezing cold. They completely missed 2 six feet tall cavities. Kirk said he would do us a favor and finish the job. Gee... thanks. A year later, tons of "I'm working on it", still not done. Now he says he's not getting my texts and that I shouldn't call the office, it's a bad idea. RUN. AWAY. Save yourself the time and headache. Go with any other company."

Insulation & Weatherization.
"WARNING! Do not use this company for home insulation! Climate Giant was hired to complete insulation on my home in June 2023. Instead of properly removing my siding, his workers negligently ripped it out of the center, cut off the tabs and left my aluminum siding with hundreds of nail holes, dents, scratches, cracks, and gaps. These damages have allowed water and insects to get underneath my siding, causing further damage. The workman also backed into my garage with their truck, cut 2 of my window sills, damaged my shutters and gutters. Climate Giant has left me with more than $23,000 in damages to the exterior of my home. While having windows replaced yesterday, the siding around was removed. What we found was that Climate Giant drilled holes around my entire addition that was already insulated and blew in cantaloupe sized amounts to make it look like they insulated it themselves. Clearly the jig is up and I’m completely dissatisfied with the poor quality of work this company provides. For a year now, I have been chasing the company owner Jason Dreyer. In my experiences with him, he has only operated in bad faith and has not resolved any of the issues caused by his workmen. A few examples of Jason’s bad faith actions include, sending a strange man to my house to lie about who he is representing to gain access to my property and information. He had his lawyer send me an intimidating letter claiming that I denied him access to the property to assess damages, as well as denied him the ability to make repairs. This is funny, because two weeks earlier, he was walked around the entirety of my home to assess damages with a member of the CleaResult team. I had not had any contact with Climate Giant since they poorly completed the job on my home and were paid in full by the NYSERDA program. The program had to drag him back out to my house to attempt to work towards a resolution. Jason had his “siding expert” come to look at the damages. Jason had his siding guy write that the damages were due to contraction and expansion from hot and cold temperatures, instead of damages that were clearly created by force and their poor workmanship. When his siding guy provided me with an estimate, it was lacking a price as well as amounts of materials. He had suggested I take his $5,000 settlement offer and go on a nice vacation or what have you, instead of detrimental repairs to my home. As of recent he called me a con artist and scammy for wanting him to make my home whole again. This is defamation and an attack on my character, after I’ve given him nothing but kindness and grace. This company does not take accountability for their poor workmanship. They would rather let a disabled persons home deteriorate than resolve the issues. The only guarantee you will get is the tail light kind. Dissatisfied and Disgusted Customer, Haley Sims"

An energy audit costs about $420 on average, ranging from $100 to $2,250, depending on the size of your home, property, location, and the tests the auditor needs to perform. Keep in mind that the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act’s Energy Efficient Home Improvement credit covers up to $150 of home energy audit costs. Common energy audit tests include:
Blower door test: $350
Duct testing: $100
HERS test: $375
HERS certification: $200
Infrared imaging: $200
To find a reputable energy auditor, find a local company that offers energy audit services. Research the company’s reviews, methods, and certifications to find a reliable professional in your area. The most reputable energy audit companies are HEP-certified by the Building Performance Institute (BPI). Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local energy auditor guidelines to ensure you’re hiring a certified professional.
The difference between an energy auditor and a home inspector is primarily in the purpose of the inspection. The energy auditor conducts tests in your home to determine the energy efficiency levels in areas like windows, insulation, and doorways. The auditor then makes recommendations for ways to improve a home’s energy efficiency.
A home inspector examines various structures of your home to determine that everything is up to code and gauge the condition of features like the roof, foundation, HVAC, and electrical. The home inspector reports on the overall home and makes repair recommendations.
Typically, a local home energy auditor is responsible for performing energy audits. A home energy auditor will conduct one of three energy audits designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to determine the energy efficiency of your home. The auditor often provides analysis that can help guide changes and improvements to your home for better energy efficiency, giving recommendations as necessary.
The three levels of home energy audits include:
Level 1: Review of your energy bills and home for signs of energy inefficiency and areas for improvement. The average cost range is $0.08 to $0.12 per square foot.
Level 2: A level 2 ASHRAE energy audit costs $0.12 and $0.35 per square foot. In-depth analysis of your energy usage and provides a report of cost-saving changes.
Level 3: Comprehensive analysis and detailed recommendations for ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency. A level 3 audit costs about $0.36 to $0.50 per square foot.
