"John was very friendly and detailed when doing and explaining the audit. A quote was provided a couple weeks later and they were not pushy at all to get the work contracted."

"We had a whole house Generac generator installed by K Hanrahan in August 2021. We were beyond pleased with their prompt and efficient service. They handled the whole process from planning to permitting and installation. Everyone in their company was efficient and friendly. I highly recommend them."

"Ira was cordial and professional. He has practical experience and knowledge of residential energy audits. He was able to provide useful suggestions but not definitive solutions to issues. That may have been due to inaccessible interior walls. I am frustrated that a full written report that had been promised still has not been produced six weeks later."

Eco Green Solutions were great to deal with.  They came to the home for an initial consultation and provided me with great solutions for the heat loss problem I had in the home.  The salesperson provided me a clean understandable proposal with different options I could choose from depending on my budget.

When we agreed upon the scope their office scheduled an appointment with me to schedule the work.  Their crew showed up on time, wore booties on their feet to keep my floors as clean as possible and did a remarkable job patching and priming the walls for painting.  I wasn't home when the work was performed, but the painting contractor I had in the home at the same time commented on how professional they were and how they made his job so much easier.

As a homeowner, heating and cooling cost are real concerns.  I highly recommend anyone considered with those things like I am to have Eco Green Solutions do an energy audit of their home and see where they can save.

"After I called for an estimate, Joey came promptly and assessed our insulation needs. He took his time to explain everything and also gave valuable energy savings tips. We scheduled a date and he and his crew arrived on time and insulated our attic. Within a couple of hours they were done with a thorough clean up."

"Person who visited was very polite and noted that what I purchased was likely not something that would meet my expectations.  I wanted an energy audit, how my systems could be improved in home, lighting, heating, insulation and air conditioners.  What I got was a list of things they could work on and the price to do that work.  The work list in no way was considered an energy audit, rather it was a punch list of things I could do based on their visual inspection.  I did not have a comparison of work and benefit/savings calculation.  There was no checklist of inefficiencies and how that translated into energy losses. For example, multiple hi hat lights in house, they spoke about boxing and insulating a few, less than 10, when I have almost 90 in house.  Overall I was disappointed, the tech who came said the offering needed to be better presented prior to start of work."

We purchased our home in August 2012 and moved in October 2012.  Although we had the A/C tested for functionality a few times, we did not have a through inspection done which as you will see was a mistake.



When Weatherbusters came out to do the pre season maintenance for our contract, they found the air handler to be moldy.  Although the units were functional, they strongly advised not to run it for health reasons.  As the units were from

 1989, we had intended to replace them but were hoping to get another year out of them.



We received a quote from Weatherbusters for the complete replacement of the air handler and compressor.



As the quote was $14K we were very surprised.  In order to get a better understanding of the basis of the quote, we asked for a break down with the hopes of value engineering a solution as my previous review stated, they did a great job on the furnace maintenance.



My girlfriend asked Mike Sadowski if we could receive a breakdown, and he flat out refused.  We found that to be bothersome and my girlfriend was less than pleased (which makes it more difficult to go further...)



I proceeded to get other quotes and was surprised to find that although Weatherbusters was out of line with the others, the cost was still high for my job.



In the process, I became very educated on equipment and A/C needs etc.  In the end I went with another provider (which also receives high ratings from Angie List users)) for about $10K.



The comments I got was that was that I bought a Rheem and they aren't as good as York, Trane or Carrier but the one being replaced was a 25 year old Rheem/Rudd so I was happy with my choice.  Had I needed a Seer of 25, or wanted to go with a variable speed handler there might have been validitiy with their comments.



In the end, I feel that Weather busters was overpriced for me. Since the equipment doesn't vary that much in price, the real difference must be labor.  Hopefully this is a result of the people we have met from Weather busters being very well paid.

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

Not all homes are suited for solar panel systems. Older roofs or those in poor condition may need repairs or replacement before solar panels can be installed. Some other factors to consider are the amount of sunlight your roof receives, the roof’s orientation and pitch, and any shading from nearby trees or buildings.

Yes, barndominiums are energy-efficient as long as insulation professionals properly install quality insulation, windows, and doors. Utility bills for barndo living can be up to 50% lower than those for a traditional home.  Make your barndo more energy efficient by working with contractors and HVAC professionals to strategically place windows, doors, and heating/cooling systems. 

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.

Yes, advising on models that save electricity and reduce utility bills.

To determine the right size generator for your house, you should calculate the total wattage of the appliances and devices you want to power during an outage. List all essential items, note their start-up wattages, and add them together.

Here are some typical wattage requirements for common appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 to 4,500 watts

  • Electric furnace: 5,000 to 25,000 watts

A 7,500-watt generator might be sufficient for essentials like a refrigerator, freezer, well pump, and lighting circuits. However, for high-demand items like a water heater or furnace, a whole-home generator is a better choice. A portable generator may be enough if you only need to power a few critical items.

While home square footage can offer a rough estimate, it is not always a reliable indicator. For reference, here are some typical generator sizes based on square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14 kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16 kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20 kW+

For the most accurate sizing, consult a professional who can calculate your home's peak and average power consumption and recommend the optimal generator.
