"I have been looking for someone to come in and service my standby generator for quite some time. I finally decide to check with Angi's for recommendations. Premier Energy Solutions responded to my query within minutes of my posting. After discussing my system, they informed me that they had a technician who was currently in my area and could come in the same afternoon. Nate showed up early in the afternoon and was able to get my generator functioning within a few hours. He took the time to keep me informed during the process and we discussed my options for going forward with a maintenance schedule."

Jim Moon started Gutter Helmet of New England in 1993. Gutter Helmet quickly grew and homeowners began asking him to install other products. What started as a gutter protection company, quickly grew into one of New England's premiere home improvement companies, Moonworks Home Improvement. In addition to Gutter Helmet, Moonworks also provides high quality products including; Heated Helmet, Ice Defense, Dr. Energy Saver, and GAF Roofing.

"I would void these guys like the plague. The original estimate for their "Ice Defense" system was # 3700 and I was told I needed to figure a couple of hundred dollars additional to have their electrician connect the wiring. After the install, I come to find out that their electrician actually wanted over $ 5000 to do the wiring. That's right FIVE THOUSAND ! After a months worth of e-mails and calls back and forth they finally hooked me up with a different electrician that said he got calls like these from a lot of their customers and the cheapest he could do it for was THREE THOUSAND. More calls and more e-mails and they finally agree to split the cost (to avoid small claims court), and the units are finally wired up. Of course by now the first winter is over so I never actually turn them on until the following winter. When I finally do get to use them, my first electric bill is almost $300 higher than any previous bill ever. Contacted them about that and never heard back. Just had them on this winter for ONE DAY during the last storm and my bill is almost $150 dollars higher than the previous month ... FOR ONE DAYS USE. A complete and total waste of time and money."

For over 20 years, Moonworks has operated around one core principle, that the customer deserves the very best. Over the past two decades, Moonworks has expanded the product line include quality brands like Gutter Helmet, EcoView windows & doors, Dr. Energy Saver insulation and energy saving products, Ice Defense featuring Heated Helmet and GAF Master Elite certified roofing. Though our company has expanded, our principle remains the same: provide first-class customer service and offer the very best materials combined with professional installation.

"i have been acting as an agent/advocate for my mom who is 87. she had a roof installed which has had numerous leaks. 2 in garage (now taken care of) where solar lines go through to roof panels.; 1 from improperly sealed window (also ok now) leaking into 3 season porch, causing water damage; 1 around improperly flashed chimney (paid another company $1800 to repair), and now, another one where roof meets vertical end wall of house (leaking into 2nd floor ceiling and down wall into kitchen). Have been calling company for OVER A MONTH and still have not gotten any help from them. They DO NOT RETURN PHONE CALLS!!! Customer service (Ashley and Ryan) have both "left messages for Jesse" as well as "reaching out to him personally". I now have left messages on his cell, and WILL BE FILING COMPLAINT WITH BBB, Office of Elderly Affairs, AG, and State Board of Licensing!! ****STAY AWAY*** ***READ REVIEWS*** (here AND on other sites!!)"

"Our heater stopped functioning on Nov 27, 2023 and we called Petro who had done the maintenance on it before and replaced a motor two years ago. They were responsive and a technician came two days later. He worked for 3 hours without explaining what the problem was. Then said he needed to replace the motor. He fixed the problem and left without much explanation. Two days later a bill of $2500 came via email. No explanation, no break-down. I called 4 times over the last 20 days, spoke to 4 different reps and was promised that a supervisor will contact me with the bill details. Nothing happened. Irresponsible customer service and unprofessional behavior. They show all the symptoms of big, bureaucratic, and indifferent service company. I would not recommend Petro if you have options of more personalized services."

"I called them before Thanksgiving because my heat was not working at all. They were able to come out that night and worked on it. They had to replace a bunch of parts and the total was around $1350. They left system seemed to be kicking on. However, heat on the third floor continued to not work , they came back and flushed the system the next day. Started to work. That night the worker told me they would come back and replace the third zone regulator (valve not sure what it is called) free of charge and service the heater 2nd week of Dec. When I called tht week to confirm the guy on the phone said there was nothing on the books. Was supposed to call me back to schedule something and never did. Meanwhile, my heat up stairs wouldn’t stop heating and I could not reach anyone there. I mean I paid nearly $1500 for them to fix the problem and it was broken. Still. So I called back. Spoke to the same guy again the Friday before Christmas. He apologized for not getting back to me because he was “out of the country”. But said he could get someone there the 23rd and then said he.could possibly get someone there the next day and that he would contact me. Never contacted me and then when I called to confirm they were coming on the 23rd I got a voicemail, left a message , and never got a call back. I am so disappointed but so frustrated that I went to Home Depot and bought the part they said they were going to replace and now my heater works. On top of that I believe they over charged me for the parts because I paid significantly less than they charged me. I will be finding someone else to service my heater. I do not appreciate the way I kept getting jerked around. I called them based on reviews here and I am shocked there are not more negative ones. Would of have gave a worse score if it wasn’t for the fact that the guy who came was very nice and efficient. Too bad the business seems to be poorly run and the customer service sucks!"

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

If you want a new boiler that’s going to help lower your fuel bills, you should buy one that has a high energy-efficiency rating. For example, a boiler that is rated “A” uses at least 90% of the energy created by the boiler. And in order to enjoy the best performance, it’s important to have it installed properly by a highly-rated tech.

Upgrade to double-glazed glass or apply energy-efficient coatings to reduce heat loss and utility costs.

Solar water heating systems are not one-size-fits-all. You'll likely work with a team of experts to get the job done—including solar panel installers, plumbers, and water heater installers. A specialist will help you decide if a passive or active system is best for your local weather, home layout, roof stability, and your budget.

A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as $15-$25 a month.

As you look for the right soundproofing drywall for you, you’ll likely come across the Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating. This rating measures a building material’s ability to absorb sound. The higher the number, the better the material absorbs rather than reflects sound, reducing noise transmission. The STC rating for drywall doesn’t mean it’s for the panel itself—it refers to the STC rating for the entire wall system, including the soundproofing drywall.
