I have contracted Nealon twice, both times Dave provided me with thorough information and…read morealternatives with competitive price quotes. First project, completed a year ago, was for insulating a single room, for which Dave suggested an alternative to my initial request that cost much less. Chris and his crew completed the work from the interior of the house in a single day, and I was exceedingly pleased with the results. Chris was just as informative and helpful and courteous and friendly as was Dave. My second project, completed last week, was for insulating the entire house with blown-in cellulose from the exterior of the house. As the exterior sidings are aluminum rather than vinyl, this was more difficult and more time-consuming, as aluminum does not bend as easily. In fact, another company informed they do not work on houses with aluminum siding as the risk of damage is too great. But Bennett and his crew were such efficient and hard workers that they completed the job in two days with no damage to the siding. Same as for Dave and Chris, Bennett's information and advice were invaluable.

Disappointed in their work. While the insulation might be good, the mess they left was horrendous…read more I'm still cleaning it up. The insulation was left everywhere. An attempt was made to clean it up the next day, but it was a feeble attempt.

Claimed to be an approved energize CT contractor and was going to handle reimbursement from energize CT fund from start to finish, to include extend my rebate for reimbursement of $3,000+cost. Paid upfront and Nope, didn't happen. He's not approved as an energize CT contractor. Stopped return phone calls. Now I'm out $3,000. Insulation in exterior walls were not installed to R15 pack as claimed. House is cold. Walls I have insulated personally are warm to touch, walls they supposed filled to R15 are cold from exterior temperature. The exterior holes they make, they don't seal those properly to avoid cold and hot air from entering. I had to do that myself to stop air from entering walls. Do yourself a favor and find another company to do the work. I bought into his nice guy, great business, great reviews bull and now I'm paying the price for it. If I could give Best Home Performance no stars, I would.

I had Beau and his crew do significant work on my house. Among other things the windows, doors and siding were all replaced. A deck ,AC and insulation were added as well. Within a year the siding came loose and I have not been able to get any response from the company. I have called and emailed the company. The windows allow air through so badly that snow will be on this inside of the windows in a windy snowfall. If you do decide to work with them- get a strong written guarantee.

He was also the only company that suggested I consider insulating the ceiling in the basement. He assisted in all phases of the project including when I decided to apply for a loan from CHIF. I highly recommend Elm City Energy Solutions.

We scheduled them to give us a knee-wall estimate ONLY. I…read morewas very clear about this with the nice girl on the phone. She verified that is what would happen when she re-confirmed the appointment. I never got any estimate for the knee wall, because he noticed we were not going to agree to cutting holes in the ceiling, roof and siding, in order to do the entire house. "I want to get you on the schedule today." He finally agreed to email(2) separated estimates. One for the knee wall the other for "demolishing our cape." Nothing....hard pressure sales tactics. Moving on.....

We bought our home last December and quickly realized we were in need of insulation. When you buy…read morea new home it takes a while to get to know its quirks, what it needs and set a timeline for improvements. We put insulation at the top of the list. Our oil delivery costs for astronomical. The house didn't retain its temperature so one minute it was warm and the next very cold. The furnace was constantly coming on and off. A huge expense for our family. Once we had the insulation installed along with air sealing around our entire home we were hoping the next winter would go better. So now that it's winter we can say that our furnace does not constantly click on. Our home retains the heat. We set our thermostat at around 66 degrees knowing it will get up to 68 and sometimes 70 if we are cooking. Our oil deliveries have been way less gallons per deliver, we are using less fuel to maintain the heat in our home. Installers were professional. Clive and his team were very considerate of our home, keeping it clean with drop cloths and removing all the old insulation carefully to keep the house from collecting drops of it. It is amazing how they build up walls in the attic with a small space to walk. The air sealing in the basement has been nice because the heat in the finished portion doesn't kick on as much because its not being sucked out of the house. The job was done in one day. It was our first Summer in the house and we had the work done right before that, so I cannot tell you what a previous Summer would have been like but I can only imagine how hard the A/C must have had to work to keep the house cool. And, the cost must have been really high. Our A/C is in the attic so they insulated the duct work to each room as well. Keeping the air traveling in the duct work cool as it traveled from the a/c to the room. Meaning again, it doesn't have to work so hard to keep the house cool. Genius! I will post this on CT Basement Systems too because I think there are more reviews there for the insulation.
