  These guys are the best!!!! They have completely transformed my home to an energy efficient residence where my comfort is noticeably improved. I had originally contacted Energy Docs, among a handful of other companies, to get a bid on a new HVAC system. I thought that was all I needed. But after comparing the bids I quickly realized that this company was offering much much more than just replacing my AC unit. They completely removed all of my old attic insulation, completely sealed my attic using spray foam insulation at all the seams, cracks, and connections, and then blew in new insulation to R60!!! Energy Docs guarantees R50 or better insulation, and mine turned out to be R60!! That is almost double the R38 "code" requirements you'll get from other companies. Of course there were some things they did before re-insulating my attic. Like removing all of the old duct system that used to fill my home with dust because they leaked. As do the ducts systems in almost every home because most installers have to meet the "code", which is a minimum standard, and that's all they shoot for. Energy Docs installed a new duct system, relocating the new registers/vents to more effective locations in my home, and sealing off my old registers/vents. The new ducts do not leak at all. That's right, I said 0% leakage of my duct system!! That is what Energy Docs guarantees in the contract. No more dust from my registers/vents!!! They had removed a 3 ton 7 SEER unit off of my roof, and installed a 2 ton 16 SEER system in its place. The reduction in size was possible because of the properly sized and relocated registers/vents, and the complete sealing and re-insulation of my attic. Then my water heater was replaced with a modern more efficient water heater designed to keep water hot, and yet use only a fraction of the amount of gas that my old water heater used. This project was well worth the money spent, and I am so glad that I didn't decide to just have a new AC unit installed. What a waste that would have been! The crew was outstanding!!! Friendly, professional, and very hard working. They would stop what they were doing instantly to answer any questions, or explain anything I needed help understanding. After work each day they made sure that my home and property were cleaned up and no mess left behind. I would definitely recommend Energy Docs to anyone wanting to improve the comfort and efficiency of their home. What a great bunch of guys!!!

  We hired Energy Docs and Mike MacFarland to perform an energy audit of a house we are purchasing, and are extremely glad we took this admittedly unusual step. His inspection, report, and knowledge were incredibly thorough, and provided us tremendous insight into the home's energy performance, which helped us in our purchase decision and negotiations. Since heating and cooling cost several hundred dollars per month, these insights will save us much more than the $300 cost, even within the first year. Mike's normal scope of work includes a visual inspection plus a blower door test and duct test. We discussed the scope of this pre-purchase situation and agreed that the mechanical tests, while valuable, would be more than necessary in this case. Mike did a visual inspection that was extremely thorough, and allowed me to accompany him for the majority. He was adept at describing his methods and observations as we went, and I was soaking up the knowledge. It was fascinating and enlightening to hear his simple explanations of pressure and temperature boundaries, dew point, insulation characteristics, and even the way he uses spider webs as telltale indicators of airflow. Whether you already own your home or are considering a purchase, call the Energy Docs to find out how you can save huge amounts of your monthly energy spend.

  I love these guys. I think they're really smart, they obviously care, their quality is top-notch, and they stand behind their work. And they don't just stand behind it, they drive the entire industry to "be better." It's a literal truth that new equipment is created to meet their needs, because the old equipment can't be refined enough to accurately measure how stellar their results are. The old equipment's not good enough. The Docs are no-nonsense and driven to make your house awesome.
