"Issue with Bell Mechanical This past August of 2024 we had a heat pump system installed in the house by Bell Mechanical. Unfortunately, we have had nothing but issues since with the biggest being no heat multiple times and now again today we are without heat in the majority of our house. It is freezing outside, we have a toddler and within the past week this is the 2nd time we have no heat (4th time since the system was put in). Not only is this a life safety issue, but it also is heart breaking to have your toddler tell you they are freezing. Looking for advice on next steps. We have never sued anyone or threatened to sue but this may be the time as we have had nothing but issues since the beginning. From the start we made it very clear that everything needed to be done to code and permitted. We were doing a lot of major renovations at our house and everything was being done to code and permitted. John (the salesman) at Bell said that was not a problem. John also told us that the only additional cost we could potentially incur outside of what he quoted us for the system and its installation would be a $500 fee for the installation of the heat strip. We accepted this and moved forward. After Bell removed our central air system and installed the new carrier system we got his with additional work needed at the tune of over 2k. Needless to say we were not happy. John told us the electrician they use and that if we used that electrician there would be no delay but if we used ours that it would cause a delay. So, we went with what John said as he was the expert. John got the electrician to come down a little in price which we were grateful for. Fast forward to when the building inspector came out to close out the permits for the work Bell did and other work being done at the house, the inspector told my contractor that the heat pump was not done to code. We were told that the electrical for it was not done to code and he could not close out the permit. My husband talked to the electrician Bell gave us who informed us that Bell told him to “cut corners” which was part of getting the cost down slightly. Reminder, we NEVER said to do this, we made it clear that everything needed to be permitted and even paid the permit fees to Bell. Back and forth with Bell and the electrician got the electrician to fix his work at no additional cost but Bell still needed to fix the outside plug which was not to code. Giovanni at Bell agreed that Bell would fix this issue at no additional cost. It has been 3 months now and Bell has still not rectified this issue and Giovanni and John are both nonresponsive to our follow-ups. Bell has also had to come out 4 additional times because our system was not working and again today, we have no heat. Today will be the 5th time they have to come out for issues on a system that is 4 months old. This is not OK. We have given Bell ample time to rectify the issues. Clearly they did not do the install properly and there is also the possibility we have a faulty system. We have never sued someone or went to court but then again, we have never had such large and costly issues."

"Dan and Josh were incredible. Not only were they both friendly and extremely knowledgeable, but the were early on the day the work was to be done. They explained exactly what they were doing. They showed me progress along the way. They had recommendations and were adaptable to my schedule. The results were shocking. We live in an old lake house and really needed to improve the insulation. There were spots where there was little to no insulation and some where there was insulation but not enough. Even the first night the difference was amazing. I can't recommend Dan and Josh enough. So worth the money I spent. You need insulation hire them. I promise you will be thrilled."

We know a great home starts with comfort and just like your favorite blanket keeps you warm through out those cold months—we believe great insulation is one of the core pillars to a great home.Let’s be honest, in the past 80 years there haven’t been many affordable options to heat your home beyond wood and fossil fuels. Fortunately, new advances in technology have lowered the barrier to entry for incredibly efficient and affordable heating solutions. Smart choices are made by informed decisions. We help you along the way with comprehensive site audits, consultations, and a whole home energy strategy We use and abide by International building codes and deliver on standards that exceed most current building frameworks like Passivhaus and LEEDWith our in-house engineering expertise and years of building science design. We strive to provide modern and efficient homes for all. We are fully insured, SPF/OSHA certified and trained. We also carry workmen’s compensation.

"I made the mistake of selecting this contractor when NYSERDA accepted me for the Empower program in September 2024. Corey assured me they could act quickly. The audit was completed quickly, but seven months later, they have not done any work. Corey is a great sales guy, but the problem seems to be a complete breakdown between sales and delivery. In January, I spoke with John, who delivers the services, and we had a plan to move forward; however, he has not submitted the necessary paperwork to NYSERDA. He has not returned my calls, and Corey is wringing his hands in frustration. I would advise against using this contractor; the business is poorly run and fails to keep its promises. "

Energy Efficiency Auditing questions, answered by experts

There are a couple of ways you can save on the cost of your home energy audit. First, find out if you qualify for programs like the Department of Energy’s Weatherization Assistance Program for low-income households. Next, check with your local utility company to find out if you qualify for any local rebate programs to offset the cost of this helpful service.

String lights require electricity, but not an excessive amount, especially when compared to other lighting fixtures. LED rope lights, for instance, consume around one watt per foot. Running six or seven light strings simultaneously should only cost you around $10 to $15 each month. You can save even more money by remembering to turn off your lights during daylight hours. 

While many states require all new construction to undergo blower door tests, it’s not a requirement for existing homes. But in both cases, a blower test helps confirm that the contractor has sealed the exterior, that the type of ductwork installed is functioning properly, and that your home is as efficient as possible.

Generator size requirements vary wildly among properties, but typical generator sizes are listed below based on home square footage:

  • 1,000 sq ft: 6–9 kW

  • 1,500 sq ft: 7–10 kW

  • 2,000 sq ft: 10–14kW

  • 2,500 sq ft: 12–16kW

  • 3,000 sq ft: 16–20kW+

Unfortunately, home square footage isn’t always a good indicator of generator size requirements. Instead, you should call in a professional to discuss which items in your home you’d like to run via your generator. They can calculate peak and average consumption for those items and then size your generator appropriately for optimal performance.

R-value is a measurement that dictates how much resistance an insulation material has against heat flow—or how well it can stop heat from coming and going. A higher R-value, which is attributed to thicker and more dense materials, means the better the insulation performs. There is not one universal recommended value. It depends on climate zones. For example, Alaska, which has a naturally cold and arctic climate, has higher R-value recommendations than the hot and humid Hawaii.
