Description of Work: We recently bought a house and we quickly determined we had a ventilation issue in the attic. We had 3 different roofing companies out to give us an idea on how to improve things but they were all stumped and couldn’t offer a solution. Then we got our first electric bill and it was outrageous. I started Googling because K knew there had to be someone who could help us. I luckily stumbled across ACT and gave them a call. Ricky came out the next week and did an energy audit of our home. It was so extremely detailed and thorough - quite impressive. I immediately had faith in our issues being identified. Of course, we had a number of problems, but all could be resolved - hallelujah!! Ricky and his crew came back the following week and spent 2 days fixing all the issues. Broken ducts, soffit vents that were clogged, over a gallon of caulk to seal up various leaks in the attic, as well as the installation of solar vents on the roof. I can’t pretend to understand how their scoring is done, but we went from a score of 285 down to 118. New build homes are required to be at least at an 80. While it was a chunk of money, I can already see the results and know the return on investment will be swift. So so glad I stumbled upon this company!!

Ricky explained the offers he had going with TXU in September. I did not qualify for the energy audit deal he was offering. However, I did ask him to come back in October to discuss other attic insulation offers. We did not discuss price or the variety of his offerings. Hopefully I'll know more in a month and have more to report.
Description of Work: I met with Ricky on my doorstep. He was very courteous; he was looking to see if I was interested in attic insulation. Seems a neighbor backed out at the last minute and Ricky was trying to get a job in the neighborhood by knocking on doors.

I heard about ACT Home Energy Specialists from a neighbor of my boyfriend's mother, so I called Ricky to have my old home evaluated. Am I ever grateful for his time and efforts: he was here on time and promptly kept me abreast of ALL of the problems with my house (and there were a ton), from air coming through outlets to a significant lack of insulation in the attic and gaps in walls. He took photos of all the areas for improvement to easily illustrate problem areas. After running tests, he emailed me an estimate for repairs, which was very reasonable considering the size of the job. At first, we said he didn't have an open time to return till next week, but then he had a cancellation and returned to work the same day, doing most of all the approved repairs, including filling the attic with insulation. Ricky was here a good seven hours! Understandably, he had to schedule me to come back for the rest; I offered to pay him half the charge for this work, but he insisted that I wait to ensure my happiness with his work, which I appreciate. So polite, thorough, and hard-working! Very impressed!
Description of Work: Free energy audit plus a lot of fixes to multiple energy-compromising problems.

I looked for home auditing services that didn't also provide repair, eliminating the possibility of someone finding things just so they could fix it. Following a few friendly back and forth emails (all of which were quickly responded to), Ricky came out on a Saturday morning. (I think he was 5 min early but waited in his truck until the appointed time). Ricky was very friendly, explained everything he was doing, took care to not mess up anything in the house. As it turned out, Ricky does offer services to repair and later sent me an estimate for what it would cost (per my request) as well as a detailed list of what he found. Since he did such a great job, I'll probably use him to fix all the leaks he found throughout the house. Overall, a very positive experience.
Description of Work: Home inspection for energy efficiency. Ricky asked for utility bills prior to visit. Following a tour of the house, he covered all inflows and outflows and covered the back door with something that had a fan in it. Using this Ricky was able to find any areas where air was coming in. Also used fogger machine to blow into the heating systems to find leakage in ducts. Then carefully explained what he found. Very thorough.
