1st Choice Energy

I participated in the City of Austin Weatherization Program and 1st Choice Energy was the contractor assigned to insulate and weatherize my home. They blew insulation in my attic, put in new air ducts and vents. I can tell a huge difference. The team was courteous and respectful of my home. I highly recommend them for any weatherization or HVAC work. They are a small local business doing great work in the Austin area.

Do NOT hire 1st Choice Energy. They improperly designed and installed an HVAC system at my house that caused thousands of dollars in water damage including mold. The owner has denied all responsibility and his insurance doesn’t even cover mold claims. Now I am having to sue him since he doesn’t have proper insurance and he won’t pay for the damages. Do not hire an HVAC contractor unless they have mold coverage in their insurance.

Prompt response, energy audit completed within time specified, and report available that evening.

Not sure how we can ever say enough good things about David and his crew at 1st Choice. We highly recommend them :)
We live in an older home that needed a new a/c & also wanted to take advantage of the rebates being offered by the City of Austin for doing the home energy performance package. We originally hired another company that had a lower bid - big mistake - you get what you pay for!! It took that company almost 6 months coming out at least 2-3x a month to work on our house & could never get below 40% leakage. David and his crew came in to clean up the mess and got us below 10% leakage in 1 day - AMAZING! They are informative, efficient and best of all David really knows what he's doing and has a great relationship with the folks at Austin Energy which is extremely important if you're thinking about applying for rebates.
