Great. He's a nice guy and very professional. I'd recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: Jim came in and walked with me through the whole house. I pointed out drafty spots and problem areas. He made recommendations for simple fixes. He then did a blower door test and walked the house with a infrared camera to identify overall draftiness and problem areas I wouldn't be able to catch on my own.

He gave 9 suggested action items and emailed us the infrared scans. From removing our whole house fan (never used by us) to simple door weatherstripping, he suggested starting the remedies at the top of the house and working down. We were getting ready to get estimates for replacing our windows, but he found that the windows were not the problem.
Description of Work: While Jim performed a blower-door test we walked around the house while he held an infrared scanner/camera. As we found cold (dark) areas he noted them and took pictures. One week later we received very detailed report containing the home background info, an energy bill analysis, the blower door and air filtration report, the infrared scans analysis, and finally the suggested actions to remedy problem areas.

HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL. DURING THE AUDIT, HE EXPLAINED THINGS AND INDICATED SOME CHANGES THAT COULD BE MADE TO MAKE THINGS MORE EFFICIENT. THE DETAILED REPORT DELIVERED A WEEK LATER WAS VERY HELPFUL. WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED ALMOST ALL OF HIS SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS. WE EXPECT TO SAVE MONEY ON OUR HEATING BILLS THIS WINTER. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIME IN YOUR SCHEDULE FOR THE HOME ENERGY AUDIT. YOU WILL NEED TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM WHEN HE COMES.
Description of Work: WE HAD A HOME ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT DONE.
