See what homeowners are saying about Home Performance with ENERGY STAR®

I want to thank you for the work you did with the insulation and new furnace for our house.  The results exceeded our expectations.  After the air sealing and insulation were completed, we noticed immediately that the second floor was quieter.  So most of the night noise we used to hear has been eliminated.  Also, we soon realized that the second floor was much cooler.  In fact, it is only one or two degrees warmer than the first floor.  Previously it was hotter and uncomfortable.  Great results.  Much more comfortable.  Just what we were hoping would happen.  Then the icing on the cake was when I received my electric bill after the hottest July in many years.  It was significantly lower than last year, even though the temperatures were hotter and the AC ran more.  Wonderful results to help start paying for the insulation investment we made.

- Dana D.

The program exceeded our expectations from the contractors to the loan everything went smooth... absolutely had an improvement there was no insulation in our walls... the contractor went above and beyond to get the job done. We would highly recommend this program to anyone. If every home had an assessment and the work completed we wouldn't have energy crisis. I'm a strong promoter of the program.

After our Home Performance with ENERGY STAR contractor insulated our home, we've noticed increased comfort and less outside noise coming into the house. Plus our electric bills have gone down compared to last year.

We were impressed by the incentives and the striking difference that some simple changes made. The improved insulation, air sealing and duct sealing eliminated the drafts in our home.
