Alligood Energy

Quick and relatively painlessly.

Great, all good.

great, worked out really well

They were great

Contractor was punctual and respectful of my home. Used drop cloths throughout area. Job was completed in entirety on time. All debris was removed and clean up performed. I was very pleased with the cost and quality of the work.

We had been freezing every winter for past 15 -20 years. We caulked, put weather stripping on doors and windows, even resorting to putting plastic over our windows . We could not find where the cold air was coming in. So we were so happy to find a company that could find the air leaks. Scheduled appointment and Matt arrived at appointed time. Did extensive testing that showed we had major air leaks. Matt emailed me the report from the tests and ways to re-mediate the problems. He gave us a list of things we could do and prices for each. We scheduled an appointment for the part of the recommended remediation. We had a medical emergency and had to cancel on short notice. Matt was great, said it was no problem to reschedule when it was more convenient. The project was done yesterday. Matt arrived first and started the preliminary work, the rest of the crew came about an hour later. They were very careful to put down plastic to protect the area where they were working. Took about 2 1/2 hours to apply the spray foam. They cleaned up after they were finished. The crew was friendly and worked diligently. Matt did followup testing and it showed a 25% reduction in air leakage. We believe it has helped greatly in the area of our home that was always so cold. We are very pleased! Happy to recommend Alligood Energy.

Jeff Alligood is a very personable and laid back guy and came out to estimate the job the day after I called the company. He spent considerable time in the attic, basement, outside the house and was enthusiastic about answering questions and offering options. He sent an estimate the next day. After doing some research about insulation and venting I called Jeff and asked if he could take another look at the house. He was happy to do so, answered some new questions and sent a revised estimate. Jeff and his team arrived right on time the day of the job and went right to work. There was a problem with the vents I had ordered and Jeff went off to the local Home Depot, purchased new vents (which turned out to be a much better option for this job) and installed them in good time. Meanwhile, his crew sealed openings in the attic floor, installed baffles, blew in fiberglass insulation to an R55 level and capped the attic access cover. The crew cleaned everything up and they were done by mid-afternoon. All in all a nice company to deal with.

Jeff's crew was kind, timely, and professional. I had change my appointment from Sept to Nov due to me losing my job, and Jeff kept me posted. There was a single hiccup where Jeff forgot the attic cap (which is a 10 minute fix), but he came back promptly to help with that. The after effects were FANTASTIC. The upstairs is no longer freezing in November nights. I'm excited to see what the summer brings as well. He did the following work: Air Sealing/Baffles $690 Attic Insulation $1784 Attic Access Cover $175 Jeff's crew was timely, efficient, and clean (you'd never know they were in the house! Alligood is absolutely highly recommended by me.

Alligood did a nice job analyzing and confirming our attic issues. In addition to recommending the replacement of HVAC return hoses and adding insulation, they also recommended sealing the attic floor around jousts, which contributes greatly to heat loss (I was not aware of this). It was well worth the price.

Very professional, clean, and efficient work! My only complaint was evidently a lack of communication between the team and the fellow who did the original analysis and estimate. The team doing the work assumed the first guy did the "before" blower test. Knowing that a test was required, it was a good thing I questioned this as soon as they started the actual work. Otherwise, I would not have been pleased to not be able to see an actual measurement of improvement before and after.

Matt came in after I used a coupon for an energy audit on Angie's List. He set up the blower door and then walked me around using his thermal detector gun to show me specific areas that needed attention. I had mentioned that I wasn't interested in getting any major work done, only wanted to see if there were some DIY fixes I could do myself. After seeing the results of the blower door test, I knew my limits and later decided to have them do the brunt of the work. I was able to do a lot of his suggestions myself, but had him come back in to air seal and insulate my attic, and also add a custom airtight cover for my whole house fan. The results were great. With the fixes I had done along with the attic sealing and fan cover that they did, I lowered my air infiltration substantially. Hopefully this translates into a more comfortable winter and lower oil bills!

Although not enough time has passed for us to see the results of their work( electric bill reduction, less use of oil etc. we expect positive results. They insulated and sealed the air leak areas in the basement and third floor, including crawl spaces, and neatly finished the areas where they blew insulation.

Alligood was selected out of a pool of four potential vendors. Each were told I had a home energy audit conducted, only Gene from Alligood asked to review the findings. He spent considerable time inspecting the attic and making sure his solution fit well with needs at hand. On install day, Matt and team were very professional, careful to keep the house clean during and after install, and did an outstanding job completing the scope of work.

Matt Alligood and team were on time, courteous, and did a nice job describing my options. The report they provide on where your house is losing energy was fast, and very helpful. They also focused on making upgrades that would quickly pay themselves back in energy savings! Prices were very reasonable. I would definitely use Alligood Energy again!

Our experience with Alligood was fantastic and we highly recommend them. We were really impressed with their honest, professional approach and very reasonable costs.

Jeff, the coowner came out and performed the service. Be was very professional and thorough. He spent time going over everything he was doing, what that meant to me, and suggestions for improvement.I would HIGHLY reccomend this company.

First off they provide a through review of the current situation to give us an estimate of what needed to be done, explained where and why certain areas needed work. While Matt was here giving the estimate he even fixed a dryer vent issue (no charge). They were much less than some of the larger outfits we got quotes from. I also prefer to hire small businesses. They showed up when they said, worked efficiently, quietly as possible (which was great since i work from home) cleaned everything up before they left. Afterwards I was provided a photo report of everything they did which was awesome since much of the work is now covered in insulation. The report was provided the same day of service and the estimate was provided that evening as well. It's great to get such prompt attention. I would highly recommend Matt and his team.

It was great they were highly professional and friendly they walked me through everything and helped me understand the areas I have to work. I will definitely recommend these guys and will work them sometime soon on couple of recommendations. -Ravi

It was great working with AlliGood Energy. They reduced our exterior air flow by 56%...We had 3 companies come out, and these guys did it all for the best price. They were positive and upbeat guys, really friendly, and did a great job. Our home is over 100 years old. It had a MAJOR draft problem in the basement, and only 2 inches of insulation in the attic spaces. Our 2500 square foot home was FREEZING during our first winter here, and hot as h*** in August/September when we bought it. The other companies who came out came up short in a couple of ways: 1) the first company was going to cut our ceilings up, but wouldn't patch them, 2) second company didn't do blown in, only spray foam, and they were more expensive than the other two. AlliGood Energy were on budget, and they went through through roof, patched the roof, and installed vents to help with moisture. They only complaint I have is that they did not cover our belongings in the basement before cleaning the brick dust, which left our things dirty. They did not clean up the brick dust all over the floors in the basement either, which killed our vacuum cleaner when we tried, and anything that was not covered properly has a sticky film on it. When I contacted them about the mess they intoned that they'd pay for the cost of the vacuum, but there was no further follow up, only told me that I should have called and let them come back to clean up. Overall, good guys, quality product, reliable, and friendly... just make sure they cover your things and clean up.

Our initial appointment with Alligood was sometime in February. Matt and Jeff came out to our property to perform an energy audit. The evaluation took about three hours and before they left, they gave us an evaluation of their findings along with recommendations for what could be done to help with the problems. Some recommendations were things I could do on my own to reduce drafts/air leaks, and some recommendations were things they could provide as a service. The cost of the audit was less than $100. We opted for a few of their recommendations, and Matt was very flexible in finding a date that would work for us. We were mostly concerned with adding additional insulation to the attic and replacing the baffles as this would help in the cold months as well as with hot summer months. Matt, along with three of his crew members arrived that morning and the first thing they did was lay out covering to protect our floors and carpeting. The work took about 6 hours to complete and then the crew cleaned everything up and vaccumed the floors. They took us up to the attic to show us the finished product. The crew had left and Matt has stuck around to perform an energy audit test out, where he would test the air leakage and thermal evalution. Air leakage was reduced by 28% in the house, and he provided a very nice summary of the results along with detailed before & after photos. We were very satisfied with their work and would gladly work with them again in the future.

Energy review was highly informative. Jeff and Matt provided details on the best way to address energy savings overall and comfort issues in my home with an eye toward the "best bang for the buck". They were right on! My home is so much more comfortable and maintains temperature better than it ever has. (about 29% improvement). I wish I'd had this done years ago! They are readily available to answer questions and address any concerns before and after the job. Excellent team and the sub-contractors who do the insulation installation are highly responsive and experienced. They provide great feedback and suggestions as well. This was a large job and well performed. I highly recommend Alligood Energy.

It went great. Matt and his employees showed up on March 9 at the time promised and installed the insulation, baffles and sealed off the leaky spots in a few hours. They vacuumed up insulation that had gotten on our second floor carpet and did a thorough job.

They were very courteous in responding to our questions. But we ended up postponing the work due to other reasons.

Matt and Jeff were extremely professional and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything they were doing every step of the process. They also responded quickly and completely to every e-mail I sent with follow-up questions or requests for information/explanations, etc. In person & via e-mail, they explained everything thoroughly & in a manner that helped me understand what was going on with our home, where they recommended improvements, and how everything would be done. Matt & Jeff were also very flexible in helping us schedule the work both in phases and around several family obligations, and still have the work done before winter set in. They were also receptive to suggestions & options I inquired further about. There was no hard-sell on their end. They understood our desire to do a first phase of the recommended remediation work, see how effective & cost-saving they turned out, and then go ahead and schedule later phases as necessary. They also offered, as long as they were already up there, to re-route our bathroom exhaust hose at no additional expense, to a new exhaust vent recently installed along with our new roof. The day they came in person to do the work, Matt and Jeff had all necessary materials and tools with which to perform the job, and were accompanied by two additional workmen. With protective floor covers laid down throughout the work area in the house, they all got quickly to the work at hand. As any questions came up, they were quick to point out and discuss them with me. The work was performed quickly, completely, and with very little noise, in less than a day. Everyone cleaned/vacuumed behind themselves once the jobs were done. Once completed, Matt & Jeff provided us with an updated blower report/figures which indicated a greater reduction in airflow than even they had anticipated from just the options we had selected. They also provided us with new "after" pictures of the remediated areas, so we could see (and provide to any future buyer) all the improvements made. It was a pleasure having them work with us!

For many years we had been frustrated by our poorly insulated house and by how inefficient our heating/cooling system was. Drafty house, inconsistent temperature from room to room, furnace and a/c running non-stop, etc. Last year, a friend suggested we have an energy audit and highly recommended Alligood Energy to us. The comprehensive audit they performed revealed issues much more serious than we ever suspected -- but thankfully they were all fixable. We knew we were losing a lot of money in oil and electricity every month, but the main reason we opted to do a major system overhaul was our long-term health and comfort. We were so impressed by Alligood's professionalism and thoroughness during the audit that we selected them to perform the design and installation of a completely new HVAC system as well as house-wide insulation remediation. During the course of our project, Alligood went above and beyond to correct numerous unforeseen issues. They were punctual, pleasant to work with, great communicators and meticulously thorough in everything they did. Today, our energy bills are lower, but more importantly the air quality and comfort in our home is vastly improved. Given the harsh winter we're currently enduring, we're especially glad we made the investment, and the 1% interest energy loan program from AFC First helped finance most of the project to boot. We're already getting valuable returns and we're so glad we selected Alligood Energy to do the work. We endorse them without reservation.
