I've actually worked for this company out of Seymour ,CT . it is a very great company ive been in over 150 houses. every job we started all the way to completion were completely and 100% done the rite way and properly . pictures and videos were shown to customers for almost every step of the way or we would walk them through after every step . never had complaints while I was there . great company
Nate the House Whisperer i can take video of our reductions on state funded jobs andprove you wrong its not the contractors fault if the energy auditors dont do proper follow up inspections
How would I get in touch with this company. I went through a state program. I’m suffering from nose bleeds,allergies and constant stuffy noses. Excessive amount of gray dust on a daily bases. I have to thoroughly clean my home twice a week from so much dust accumulation. I’m exhausted and depressed from this ordeal. I believe it’s coming from the attic and chimney. My floors seem to always be dirty. I can’t figure this out. No one walks on the floor with shoes. Always bare or sock feet. My kitchen stove and fridge has dust for days. Even tho I just cleaned it the day before. Please help!!
@Chelsea Gallo, I 've had some of the medical issues you describe--plus red, irritated, swollen eyes, itchy skin and trouble breathing. There was cellulose insulation in the attic and the areas around the plumbing, electrical penetrations and chases were not sealed. The cellulose insulation was coming into the living quarters through these unsealed spaces. I would be reading in bed and my glasses would fog up and there was always a strong smell like floor outgassing. I just had a company, IES, vacuum out all the cellulose insulation, seal around all the penetrations and then blow in JM fiberglass, non-formaldehyde insulation. I can definitely see and feel a big difference. I think that company, IES, left the state utility program as they didn't want to take short cuts on their work. They were very thorough and conscientious. I was able to watch them work and at conclusion, I was supplied with before and after pictures. I think I got my money's worth though they didn't come cheap, but my health and well being is paramount. I feel your pain, and suggest you get in touch with a company in your area that deals with indoor environmental issues. Perhaps, Google is your friend (GIYF).
DigitalRaider1 That's why they use rockwool covers that are fireproof, there's also an air gap between the cans and the covers. As for excessive heat, I have personally switched all of my lighting to LED, mind you LED does get warm but not like incandescent or halogen lighting.
So I emailed trying to Dr. Energy saver to come out. They said there were no dealers in the area. There’s a Dr. Energy Saver less then 10 miles from my house. It’s literally in the next Town over. What gives? If you guys don’t want the work. Give me a price for the foam block for decking or to attach to the bottom of the joists. I’ll do the install I just need the product.
I have a bath fan in the middle of my house. It's approximately 45 feet from either side. Where the hell do I run it? I'm not running it to a sofit. And I really didn't want to go out the roof.
What your not telling them is the contractor is limited to what the audit tells him to do from the energy company they are only gonna do what theyre told if they go further none of them will stay in buissness due to taking so many loss's on material n cost smh im sure theres plenty of shotty contractors as there is any feild but not all state funded cintractors are bad what a clown
you're basing your claim off one example of one house and one contractor who obviously cut corners. I do state funded weatherization work and I can tell you the post follow up inspections are strict and they do check blower door numbers pre and post so you can't make up numbers. you guys probably charge a lot of money for the work to be done while the state is virtually free. I would agree there are bad contractors out there but there are good ones as well funded by the state. homeowners just need to do research and find a good one. I also have enough experience to know that there is no way you got the post blower door to the exact cfm of the house in question. I have done thousands of blower doors and sealed everything in the attic and basement and sometimes you can never get close to the bas. I don't question the quality of your work but it's wrong to assume state funded contractors are bad and the auditing is bad. believe it or not we do good work as well and charge less...
Why charge less and leave money on the table? You don't want to retire and plan on working at 90 years old. You should at least be at the average price.
don't let this man in your house,unless you want lots+lots+lots of fuckin damp and rotting timber to go with it and a fire or to,talks the talk but hasn't got a clue,,
Also i guarantee that contractor got no more state funded work after they did the follow up inspection either if they didnt do a follow up thats the energy companys fault most of the state programs here are 50/50 co pays i assure you the energy company dont like wasting their money on shotty contractors and watch everything we do
Larry this video is offensive. You are praying on customers. There are many contractors which provide full service retrofits. The state program requires a DOE home energy score, post inspections, and verification of proper install. The visit is 4 to 6 hours and the insulation and windows are not installed the same day. Full home energy retrofits take days as you state here. Your video however is very misleading.

Preach it, Larry! A great example of why utility audit programs don't actually save money or energy, let alone solve problems. We work the same way.

Thank you I'll make sure and watch them people when they come to my house
How true is this video? SO TRUE!
I endorse this video!
great job Larry

Great work your doing it is a big job to seal every space amazing just ordered spray foam and can covers 😀

How would I get in touch with this company.
I went through a state program.
I’m suffering from nose bleeds,allergies and constant stuffy noses.
Excessive amount of gray dust on a daily bases.
I have to thoroughly clean my home twice a week from so much dust accumulation.
I’m exhausted and depressed from this ordeal.

My floors seem to always be dirty.
I can’t figure this out.
No one walks on the floor with shoes.
Always bare or sock feet.

Please help!!

N. Igma Maybe that could be the cause of my chronic sinus issues.
I’m going to check around my neck of woods for some help.
Thanks!
Fantastic video!
The difference is the state sponsored is free, his costs money.
Do state program first, and then call him after
how much did that cost?
By sealing the can lights in the ceiling...do you not cause a "over-heating" issue by not allowing the heat from light to dissipate somewhere.
DigitalRaider1 That's why they use rockwool covers that are fireproof, there's also an air gap between the cans and the covers. As for excessive heat, I have personally switched all of my lighting to LED, mind you LED does get warm but not like incandescent or halogen lighting.
Brilliant well done.
Thank you

There are many valid contractors www.eesgogreen.com . We offer full service deep home retrofits and don't over charge customers.
All it takes is one lazy employee that doesn't feel like crawling close to the eave to give you a lousy job.
I have a bath fan in the middle of my house. It's approximately 45 feet from either side. Where the hell do I run it? I'm not running it to a sofit. And I really didn't want to go out the roof.

Niall Rowen you nailed it hes a manipulator

I've noticed that Larry likes to talk down about other contractors' work. This guy doesn't really look trustworthy.
lef3rro I think the video and data speaks for itself, don't you?

No. It's proof. Let's look at other homes!
