The estimator was on time and thorough and answered all of my questions. I chose Devere because the proposal was competitive compared to the other estimates I received and the estimator didn't just use the home energy audit to give me a proposal - he actually looked at everything and suggested that a few of the energy audit recommendations weren't necessary. He also noticed the fact that the bathroom vent fan vented into the attic rather than outside. Thanks to his thorough inspection of the house, the proposal for the work was in line with what the house actually needed, rather than what is typically done for energy efficiency improvement jobs. I appreciated the fact that they were able to schedule the work on a Saturday so I wouldn't have to miss work. The installation crew was friendly, courteous, and careful about keeping the house clean (removing shoes, placing blankets to catch dust, cleaning up well before leaving). They also answered my questions and concerns and explained everything they did and showed me pictures of the work they had done in the attic. I was very impressed by their work. Even though the energy audit was prepared by a different company, Devere's office staff prepared my rebate application paperwork right after the work was completed. I was very impressed with every Devere person that worked on my project. I've noticed that the house feels cozier and stays cooler than outside on really hot days (even when the air conditioning wasn't working). The electricity bill for July was unbelievably low. I'm looking forward to a cozy house this winter and lower gas bills.

Wonderfully. They had 8-9 guys on my house due to a cancellation from another job. They were hard working, polite, respectful, and would listen to my concerns about some areas and honored them. My husband had just gotten out of the hospital that week and they were extremely kind to us...

The work was done well and efficiently. Dave and David are a great team. Both collaborated with the electrician on some challenging wiring. Additional insulation work under the eaves was done at a fair price.

Very professional and honest. They are a long time local business who conduct themselves with integrity. When doing my energy audit and asking for referrals from long time Alaskans or other highly rated businesses in the field , Pioneer Door came up 100% of the time.

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.
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).
