"Thank you very much for the kind review!"
His report contrasted what several HVAC companies told us we need to have done to fix our problems. Their products and recommendations would have cost us thousands of dollars more than Eric felt we needed to spend.
Without Eric we likely would have gone with the recommendations of these companies. His unbiased opinion saved the day. We cannot recommend him enough for any homeowner unsure of a repair.
"Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you found great value in my services and you got the problems solved cost-effectively!"
A few weeks later, he met us at our home with his equipment and within two hours, he was done. By the time he left, we felt educated, informed and (admittedly) a little overwhelmed, but have not regretted spending the money or the time with Eric. His report and photos were sent within a few days and we've referred to them multiple times while sealing, foaming, caulking and mastic'ing our house. Additionally, we plan to refer to his report as we continue to DIY some fixes and work with contractors in the near future.
"Thank you for your review [removed member name]! I'll make a point to change some of the terminology in our reports so they use more common language. Good advice, I appreciate it!"
After the insulation job was completed, Mr. George inspected each building, carefully marking gaps and places that were missed, as well as small areas that needed additional thickness. The three series of thermal imaging pictures were easy to understand, the vacuum test showed areas where there was leakage. We received a detailed report for each attic within a few days.
In addition to giving us feedback on the quality of the insulation job, Mr. George also alerted us and provided pictures of several other issues that needed to be addressed. He is very experienced in all aspects of home inspection, HVAC, electrical, plumbing. We got more than a report on the insulation.
After the BPG inspections, the insulation group returned and filled all marked gaps. We decided that it would be wise to reinspect one building and agreed to pay Mr George an additional $200 for this work. The second inspection did not include the vacuum test, but the thermal imaging test and two sets of pictures took him almost 2 hours. We were all satisified that the insulation company had done their work well.
I would not hesitate to recommend Building Performance Group.
"Thank you very much [ ] for the great review and kind words. We certainly appreciate your business and it was a pleasure working with you and the other home owners involved!"
"Thanks for the great review James! I enjoyed working with you and appreciate your kind words!"
Eric was able to come the day after I contacted him for the initial appointment and within just a few days of the time I called him for the followup. He was punctual and professional.
We had reservations at first about spending the money it would take to do the audit, but in hindsight, we are glad we made the investment. Eric has gone beyond our expectations to help us do what we need to in order to get the 20% rebate from the state for our efficiency-improvement measures.
First, they found a small gas leak at my meter which I never would have found. Besides being a safety issue I was paying for leaking gas. Getting that fixed was instant savings. The blower door diagnostic was done and then the thermal imaging. Some large leaks were found and Eric did some repairs and did a retest of the blower door diagnostic and reduced the percentage of loss by several percentage points with just one minor repair. He provided suggestions for how to make the air duct more efficient.
Then I received a rebate from the state for 150.00.
This is a must do for any homeowner.
