I'd highly recommend the team at Conservation Specialists of Austin. They were fantastic to work with! Reliable, quality work, friendly & all 4 of my dogs enjoyed all the extra attention & love all day! read more

These guys are amazing! They just completed a weatherization of 46 year old home and replaced ducts, sealed the doors and every opening that challenged my system. Jon and his sons and crew were fast, knowledgeable, friendly, respectful and even vacuumed my house when they finished. I recommend this business and their work ethic without reservation! read more

Frank, Tracey, Garrett, and the whole crew were amazing -- courteous, responsive, timely, respectful, and clean from start to finish. A special shout out to Frank for his patience during the bidding process as well as his "over and above" kindness and generosity. Our project sailed through the City's inspection process due to the entire team's professionalism. Excellent Customer Service. This is a well-run company that should be a role model for others. read more

I own a duplex built in the mid 80s that had never had its attic ducts serviced, cleaned or anything. I was aware that the ducts were ripped up, almost opened up and in bad shape. This was causing less airflow, and higher AC bills than I should have been paying. A few weeks ago, I was told by my AC repair man that I had signs of mold growing inside the ducts. It was true, some of the ducts were covered with nasty, harmful black mold. That same week, I called up a few air duct replacement companies. CSA was the first company to respond to my email (within a few hours). After speaking to Jon during the evening, we set a time to come see the place the next morning. He not only did the most thorough 'estimate' than any of the other people who came to see the home, he was the fastest to respond, be here, and was also the most reasonably priced (much cheaper than what AC companies charge for duct replacement). Within a day or so after giving me an estimate, he came one morning and completed the whole work within 2-3 hours. So far, it seems like it was done fantastically and my AC feels cooler, and the air feels cleaner (new ducts versus 26 year old dusty/moldy ducts!). He didn't try to upsell any services I didn't need, or any special tools, or anything. All he did was do a great job and give me some money saving tips (without selling me products) while doing it. Plus, I got a nice handwritten note from him in the mail a few days later. You don't see that anymore! Great service, very honest guys, I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for duct work. read more

We hired Jon to do the required energy efficiency upgrades to our home to qualify for the Austin Energy rebate for installing solar panels on our roof. Jon was knowledgeable, always on time and sensitive to cost. He was very thorough and didn't overlook any detail in completing the work. Working with Jon was a delight and I highly recommend him read more

These guys are great. I needed duct replacement. Called them and Jon came out the next day and quoted me that day. Quote is the lowest, I checked everybody else. I saved over $800 based on the next best quotes. Jon came out today and did the job in 4.5 hours, in the ice. Thank you, Jon. You are the best. Watch out for these "energy guys" and others that try to offer city discounts but over inflate their prices based on rebates or trying to oversell you things you may not need. read more

We knew we had a problem when the mice couldn't find enough insulation in our attic to build a home. The experience couldn't have been much better... The team couldn't have been nicer, the work was done quickly and done well, and we'll save a sh*t-ton of cabbage going forward. These guys are good and deliver on what they say they will. read more

After reading through a lot of A/C company reviews here on Yelp, I called out about 5 companies to give estimates. Jon was by far the most knowledgeable and the nicest. He gave me a good estimate and then proceeded to let me know about the city rebates and which ones would work for my job. I was looking to just get my Duct work replaced. Jon and his crew came out and knocked the job out in a day. They did a great job and gave me some recommendations on a few other things I might want to do later to help reduce my electric bill. Once the job was complete Jon scheduled the appointments for the city inspectors to come out and get approval for the rebates. If you are looking for a good A/C company then definitely give Jon and his crew a call. read more

Jon did an outstanding job sealing and insulating my house. He walked me through the Austin Energy Power Saver rebate program, arranged the necessary inspections, performed the work himself (with most able help from Carlos). He followed our agreement to the letter demonstrating that he conducts his business with honesty and integrity. I interviewed three subcontractors for my home energy project and Conservation Specialists really is a no-brainer! --tell him Cynthia sent you. read more

When a company delivers the best price, a fast turnaround, and quality service... you earn 5 stars. I wish I could give Jon 6 stars because he even sealed a couple other areas for me when we met for the final inspection. I had Jon air seal and blow insulation for both units of a duplex. The tenants pay their electric bill directly but it's a big marketable difference when I tell prospective tenants that I've done this work and it will mean lower electric/gas bills. it's a big hug for existing tenants too. Conservation specialists stood out because: * His price was the lowest - he has low overhead and focuses on energy efficiency so it's not surprising. * Jon worked with my schedule and moved things around to accommodate. He got the inspectors out on time and did his work when he said he would. * His workmanship passed the final city inspection w/o incident. Plus, I saw a few extras (door trim) that I wasn't expecting. Plus, he's relaxed, friendly, succinct and likeable. read more

Four attempts to contact over the period of a month. 3 calls, 1 email. No response, ever. Seriously?

Conservation Specialists are a MUST! I had several bids from competing companies to perform an energy audit on my home and bring my heating/cooling efficiency into the 21st century. Jon did an excellent job! Not only was the price outstanding (and by far better than the competition), but they worked through all of the rebate documentation and were here to review the work with the City inspector. The work was done fast and very effectively. The crew was very courteous and professional. No one tried to upsell me or convince me to buy things that I did not need. Jon was honest, up front, and very knowledgeable about energy efficiency and what my needs were. I'm giving Conservation Specialists 5 stars, because 6 stars is not an option. Thanks Jon and Conservation Specialists! read more

We were getting a few proposals for performing the required energy efficiency upgrades to qualify for the solar photovoltaic system rebates. When Jon from conservation Specialists came over to give an estimate, he was confident that just the duct sealing was necessary and the attic insulation was fine, while all the other companies had recommended even the attic insulation. We were impressed not only by Jon's knowledge and confidence that attic insulation was fine and would pass the inspection, but their pricing was also very reasonable. The quality of the work performed was also good, Jon and 1 other person came over to do the duct sealing and were quite diligent and responsible. Jon said they had to walk over some of the attic insulation to reach the ducts, but he leveled it out afterwards to maintain the evenness. I would definitely recommend Jon for any energy efficiency work, at least to meet with him once to get the proposal and understand his judgement. Not to mention Jon personally came over and handed us a check for $50 when we forgot to present the Yelp voucher we bought earlier. Great customer service before and after the work is performed! read more

Jon and his company were the third ones to give me a quote on redoing all my duct work and doing some sealing around the house. My ducts were shot but also difficult to get to. He was the first one to crawl up into the tight spaces and thoroughly investigate the work that needed to be done. When he quoted a fair price to boot and was knowledgeable about the City of Austin and Texas Gas rebates, I knew he was the right one for the job. The work happened just as he said it would. This company communicates with and takes care of its customers. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat. read more

I called John at Conservation Specialists based upon the positive views on Yelp, and I was glad that I did. I have never had any problems with my vents until a critter did some damage in the crawl space of my house. John was very professional and communicative. In addition, he's a really nice guy - we ended up spending 20 mins just shootiing the breeze and talking about our families. I will use him again! read more

Hey these guys did a great job and turned it around very quickly. I went through the Energy Star Program with the city of Austin and it has been a great improvement. They also handled a unexpected difficult situation very well. I rent out an apartment in my house and my Renter was pretty rude to them but they handled it in stride and were very professional. Super nice guys and would recommend them to anyone because they did a great job. read more

Found frank & his team on The Nextdoor App, and there were several people that highly recommended them. I also found them on the City of Austin Energy Audit site for approved companies. I sent Frank a text letting him know what we were looking for (felt our AC unit was not working the way it should be for being so new). He suggested we set up a date/time to have him come check things out. He was easy to get an appt with, and replied very fast. We liked how forward he was, and very personable. We scheduled his team out that same week. They were prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and great to work with. I could not believe how fast they were either! Everything he found that needed repaired (supply vents, duct replacement, insulation, testing, sealing etc) was all done within no time. They even found that our unit needed about 1 pound of coolant while running all the tests, and had their guy come out and fill it at no charge. We slept the first night with out thermostat 3 degrees higher then we had been. It was COLD in our room for once!! :) They even assist with the Austin Rebate program - did it for us in fact! I cannot sing enough praise about Frank & his team!! If you want a good company that you can trust, call them!! read more

We met with 4 other contractors before choosing Jon. What a great decision! Not only was he the most reasonable, he was personable, professional and punctual. We hired Jon to do additional insulation in our attic, as well as a reworking of our ducts to address some specific cooling needs. Jon did everything and then some, including sealing some additional ducts! He and his assistant were thorough, clean and quick. We will definitely hire Jon again for any future projects of this kind, and recommend him to our family, friends and neighbors. Thank you for a job well done!! read more

We used Conservation Specialists to complete duct repair, sealing, and attic insulation through the Austin Energy Rebate Program. There are so many reasons why we will only use Conservation Specialists for our HVAC work in the future, but here are a few. First, they were one of the few companies to accurately diagnose why my three-year-old son's bedroom had low air flow. I know he did because we now have much improved airflow to my son's room. Second, when the job ended up being more extensive than Jon, the owner, originally thought it would be, Jon and Carlos worked extra hard to complete the work and the original bid did not change. Not once did Jon say, "well, we didn't know about X, so that means we will need to charge you more than the original bid." We paid what he originally bid. Third, he and Carlos were awesome to work with. I was home with two sick kids. Jon and Carlos worked around their nap schedules. My one-year-old son wouldn't stop following Carlos around and Carlos was so nice to him. It made a bad situation so much easier. Fourth, Jon and Carlos were extremely professional. They were dependable and honest. I like that Jon was on site everyday, completing work himself. It gave me a lot of confidence that he really stood behind the work. I second another reviewer's comment that my experience with Jon was that he conducts his business with honesty and integrity. read more
