The guy who came out was great. I was expecting to need to spend a lot on adding insulation to the walls and attic. The guy went around with a thermal camera and checked various spaces and recommended some stuff that I could do myself or hire an inexpensive contractor to do. Very happy that I didn't need to spend thousands of dollars!

Andrew came for an estimate the day after I called. His price for the job was about 2/3 of the quote from a competitor. His crew came about 2 weeks later (today) and did a great job. They were on time, worked quickly, did a thorough job, and didn't make a mess. I can already tell a difference in our upstairs. The bedroom above the garage was unliveable without a space heater previously.

It went very well. Jon arrived on time and spent a good bit of time looking all around the basement and attic, even performing a home leak test which revealed that our chimney's damper doesn't perform as it should (already called for service) and that the insulation in our attic is up to code. He made useful suggestions about potential upgrades to our HVAC and water heater, as well as our thermostat. He installed energy efficient light bulbs in the few lamps where we didn't already have them. All told: a very useful expenditure of time and limited funds (the state of DE covering 3/4s of the cost!

Excellent don't have enough words to express how well the job was performed. I worked with Jeff Alligood through the whole process (home energy audit, appointment scheduling, pricing and work completion). Jeff gave name/telephone I could use as references. He was also available to answer and make suggest after the work had been completed.

We didn't use the service as we're still shopping for quotes, but their professionalism and experience was helpful and top notch. Their prices are competitive, as well. The estimate was emailed with helpful photos of what the insulation and installation could look like and the names and contact info of three customers who received similar services from them, which I thought was impressive.
Description of Work: We asked for a consultation and they came out quickly, were very efficient and knowledgeable and friendly. They provided an estimate after their visit, which was clear and fair. We inquired about insulation in three areas of our Phila. row home- under the kitchen floor, in the third floor (top) ceiling, and possibly in the second floor ceiling, which has a deck on top of it.

They came out and performed the whole house energy audit (including a blower door test). He was fast, polite, helpful, and clear in his explanations. They wrote up a comprehensive summary complete with photos he took around the house and he created a very detailed write up on suggested improvements and multiple options on completing the goals.

The work was done quickly and well-- Jeff and his assistant (also named Jeff) were prompt, efficient and cleanly. (The only matter, minor at best, was that Jeff Alligood seemed to be So Busy that when we were in the set up phase, over the course of a couple of weeks, he seemed to need his questions answered a few times for hIm to get my answers down.) But, in the end, all told, a great job! I am looking forward to the energy saving and already enjoying the increased quiet the insulation has provided. THANKS, Jeff and Jeff!
Description of Work: There was a cracked rafter in the attic crawl space and no insulation. I asked Alligood Energy to sister the rafter and fill the attic area with blown in insulation.

I have to apologize. I thought I reviewed Alligood shortly after the work was done in mid 2015, but apparently messed-up. Jeff Alligood was a pleasure to work with...responsive, professional, and very willing to go the extra mile to help solve our problems. We had squirrels in the attic that trashed the insulation. We scheduled a new roof which included sealing up all the areas where the critters could get in. But then we had to deal with the unhealthy rodent mess. I called over a dozen insulation companies and none were willing to REMOVE insulation. Then I got hold of Jeff thru Angie's List. Not only did they remove all the old, but they also agreed to sanitize both attics. I purchased Odoban from Home Depot which eliminates mold and odors (highly recommended). Jeff's crew sprayed everything and then installed the ducts and insulation. Jeff coordinated the removal and installation to coincide with the roofers so that access could be thru the roof ( which was the only way to access the attic). It all went like clockwork, His team stayed late (7PM+) to insure all was done and the roof sealed up for the night. Before they left they cleaned up so there was no sign they had been working on the house the entire day. Everything was 'All (i) Good' !!! I highly recommend Alligood Energy...!
Description of Work: One tough job...Remove old squirrel-infested insulation, sanitize the attics, install venting ducts, and replace with R15 blown-in insulation.

After rescheduling the initial appointment, then failing to show, they did appear on the 3rd attempt. The representatives were friendly and professional, explaining what they were doing and what they were seeing throughout the process. About a week later, I received a full color report and recommendations. I will most likely be using Alligood Energy to perform those repairs I deem necessary.

Shortly after I purchased the audit online I got a call from Jeff Alligood. He was able to come out the next morning, and spent about 30 min at my home, checking the attics and the rooms with temperature problems. He told me he'd have an estimate for insulation and sealing the attics and other things in the next few days. After about 4 days he sent me an email saying he didn't forget about me, just was visiting his grandmother. Never heard from him again, and it's been over 3 weeks. Though he was responsive and friendly, no follow through is unprofessional, and crosses him off my list of recommended service providers.
Description of Work: I wanted an energy audit for my home and wanted an opinion on what is causing 2 rooms in the house to be hot in summer and cold in winter. I suspect we could use better insulation and changes to duct work. To meet these needs, I purchased an energy audit from Alligood for $39. through Angie's list website.

Response from Alligood Energy
Hi [Member Name Removed], I want to start off and say how sorry I am for not getting the report over to you as it was bounced back due to size of the file. As you can tell by our reviews, we try to stay on top of business as best as we can but there is that slight chance that one report does not make it out especially in the busy summer, so I want to say that I am super sorry about that!! I want to apologize for not compressing the images and having that report over to you in a timely manner. I really do care about each and every customer that we work with and I will happily take 10% off of the job for you, no questions asked. I appreciate your input and we will make sure to get all reports out in a timely manner along with a follow up, just in case it was not received. Kind Regards, Jeff Alligood

Unfortunately, I ran into some unforeseen financial difficulties and have not been able to have the insulating work performed yet. The technician was prompt, polite and professional.
Description of Work: I purchased a deal to have an energy audit performed. The technician attached a blower to the front door and proceeded to take thermal x-ray photos of all of the walls, etc. They gave me a detailed report with photos from the x-rays of where my home was lacking insulation and a quotation to perform work of buttoning up my house.
