After getting multiple quotes for air sealing and insulation for my attic, I decided to work with Jim from Energy360 Solutions. While other assessors came across with a salesman approach, Jim was super practical and realistic from the start about my options. Like I was initially set on getting cellulose for my attic, but Jim pointed out some limitations given the age and construction of my home (condo built in the 1970s). He mentioned examples of older places with cellulose developing issues like sagging ceilings. No other assessor mentioned this, so deciding to work with Jim was an easy choice. He was honest and only recommended what worked best for my situation. As of writing this review, it's been over 2 weeks since his crew came and completed both air sealing and insulation. Before, my second floor would always had a 4 to 5 degree temperature difference from my main floor. Since their work, there is no significant difference. I even checked the temperature consistently for a few days just to make sure. Whatever they did, it's made a huge difference! Overall, I'm very happy with Jim, his team, and the quality of work they provided. read more

Energy360 Solutions - Insulation Installation Near Me

Jim was very knowledgeable and put our best interests ahead of anything else. We'll absolutely be reaching out to him if we need any future work! read more

Jim was very helpful in explaining the energy audit process, and while he is transitioning away from performing them himself, referred me to Joe at Insight Property Services. I will be calling Jim back when I have a better idea of what remediation services I need. Thanks Jim! read more

The Energy 360 team lead by Jim was very thorough with the proposal and explained the options to address our requirements for insulation. The team did a great job on the day of the project, including cleanup at the end. We had several estimates and selected Energy 360 due to great proposal and fair price. We would recommend this company if you are in need of insulation for an older home. read more

Reached out to Jim as they were on the approved vendor list for our gas company; you have to use an approved vendor to get rebates for certain weatherization work. We have an upstairs bedroom that seems to run hotter and colder than downstairs by 5 degrees. Jim responded quickly over Yelp and came out for a free estimate. He was professional but also took the time to point out the various attributes of our home that are working well or may not be working well. Always a great sign when the person doing the estimate can help educate you along the way. In the end, he gave us some quick actions that we can try taking on our own to address the situation. We will certainly follow up with him if further measures are needed. read more

The kitchen in our new home was several degrees colder than the rest of the house and the floor was freezing in the winter. I quickly realized there was no insulation in the crawl space underneath. I found Energy 360 Solutions from the approved contractor list on the Nicor website. I got multiple quotes for closed cell spray foam for the crawl space but went with them because the price was competitive and Jim was great throughout the process. He explained everything and answered my questions and I got a good feeling about him pretty quickly. The job went very smoothly (Thank you Mike and Mikey!) and the temperature is now consistent with the rest of the house and my kids can walk on the floor barefoot! I was so impressed that I also hired Energy 360 to air seal and insulate my attic, which needed major improvements. Mike did this project too and was very professional. Again I was very impressed with the work and could already feel increased warmth in the house the very next day. read more

Jim and his crew are great. They cleaned out 2 attics, air sealed and put in new insulation. They were clean, courteous and professional. They treated my home with great care and respect and did excellent work. They stayed on time and on budget. They made sure that I was informed and aware every step of the way. I got several estimates for this work and Jim was very reasonable with price, but also in identifying the most value for my money. If you need any insulation or air sealing work done, Jim and his crew will do right by you. read more

Very honest! I called Energy360Solutions to have someone come out for an assessment of our 1926 dutch colonial. The old windows on the front of the home have condensation when it's very cold. We had insulation blown in about 30 years ago but I was concerned that perhaps it had settled and needed to be readdressed. There is a lot of dead airspace. Jim the owner was able to come out the next day and check things out. He used his infrared camera and said that the insulation was fine but that it was most likely the old wooden windows/storms. He also went up into the attic and that was also adequately insulated. His said adding more insulation wouldn't do much and that it would be a waste of money. How often do you run into a company that recommends doing nothing? I truly appreciated his honesty and would hire them based on that. read more

Project went well, no issues. Responsive, communicates well. I recommend company to others.

Three years ago, I was referred to this company through the preferred network of Com Ed and Jim from Energy360 Solutions came out and assessed my situation. I was always experiencing a 5 to 7 degree temperature difference upstairs from downstairs due to poor attic insulation. After having the insulation installed in my attics, the temperature difference between upstairs and downstairs is negligible. What a difference having good insulation in your attic can make; lower cooling and heating bills and almost no difference between upstairs and downstairs temperature. And after three years, I had a minor issue with the ceiling below my attic in my utility room but Jim came out and had his workers correct this within a couple of days and at no charge. Great company and people - you won't be disappointed! read more

Even though they did not do work on our house, I am moved to recommend this business for Jim's "big picture" perspectives and integrity. I initially found Energy360 through the approved list of contractors for the energy rebate program available through our energy provider, and cross-referenced Yelp before making the decision to call them, because I only want to deal with the best. ;) I was able to set up an appointment easily for a free estimate on insulating our second floor and attic space. We had been told during our buyer's inspection that there wasn't any insulation on our top floor. We certainly felt it this past summer (hot box), and were feeling it as the weather cooled (ice box). Naturally, I thought that adding insulation would help with the comfort level of our 2nd floor, but it turns out it might not be the case. Jim assessed our minimal attic space, the current insulation situation (which turns out there was some), and concluded that adding more insulation would not necessarily help our situation. He noticed that the air blowing from our central system was not sufficient on the top floor -- that our temperature issues were more strongly tied to our HVAC vs. insulation. Jim took the time to inspect more than just our walls/attic. He also had the integrity to tell us that the answer to our problem was not necessarily more insulation. He did not want to take our money just for the sake of completing a project -- he actually cared and pointed us to a better solution, even if it wasn't his company. That left an impression on me. Anyway, if I ever need insulation in the future, I'm calling Jim. :) read more

The company insulated my attic, exterior walls and basement. The work they did is outstanding and they stay for it. I had some issues with insulation and called them a year after and they came back and fixed everything free of charge. Jim and his team is very professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend Energy 360 Solutions. read more

Jim came out promptly to provide a free estimate of attic cellulose insulation/baffles/spray foam. Clean communication throughout process. Found them in via rebate program. Very competitively priced. Crew came out on time and was efficient and clean. Showed me work as they went along. Jim came back out to inspect/resolve one area that appeared to need a touch up. They seem to stand behind their work and I've noticed a consistently warmer upstairs by a couple degrees this winter since the work was completed. Seemingly few icicles on gutters so hopefully no more future ice damming. read more

I was looking to address pipe freezing issue in extreme temperatures. I sought quotes from a few companies. Energy360 was reasonable, thorough, knowledgeable, and clear about their hypothesis and possible ways to solve the problem depending on what they discovered inside the walls. Other companies were overly confident, or unwilling to make hypotheses. Energy360 completed the work on time, diligently, and as quoted. During the job, upon finding new information after opening the walls, they adjusted course in a fair and transparent way, and did not attempt to add extra work or cost that wouldn't be in my best interests. I trust their expertise and their honesty in working with customers, and recommend them. read more

I'm very pleased with the work done by Jim and his crew at Energy360. I found these guys on ComEd's list of preferred contractors. Jim's quote was very reasonable and he knew all about the rebates that I might qualify for through ComEd/Nicor energy efficiency programs. On Jim's recommendation, we had blown-in insulation added to our attic and spray-foam installed in the crawlspace below our kitchen. Three guys came out to do the work - Freddie, Vincent and Mike. These guys were so nice, cleaned up behind themselves, made sure I understood everything. Before starting the work, they did a blower door test, to see how leaky my house was. Then they installed the insulation and sealed cracks in the attic, insulating the attic hatches too. When they were done, they repeated the blower door and they had decreased my house's leakiness by 30%!! I'm already feeling the cozy effects of the insulation, and we haven't needed to turn up our furnace even though it's been so cold this year! We have the thermostat set 4 degrees lower than we did last year, and we're perfectly comfortable! Also, in previous years we had ice dams and long icicles hanging off the eaves of our house...this year: not one! read more

I'm an unreasonable customer. I expect someone who wants my business to be willing to work with me. I expect them to show up when they say they are going to show up, have a cogent discussion, follow through on their commitments, and perform the work they said they'd do for the price they said they'd charge. I know - nuts, right? Energy 360 is equally crazy. I contacted multiple companies and told them "here is what I want, here is when I can talk about it, what time works for you?" I got 2 responses. One said, "need to talk to you before I show up." The other was Energy 360. I was contacted quickly, an appointment was arranged quickly. Jim showed up on time and proceeded to argue me out of a much more expensive solution because it wasn't the right one for what we needed. We scheduled the work after he patiently answered multiple annoying follow up questions. Then they showed up on time and did the job. Very impressed. read more

Found them on Yelp, and I'm glad I did. Professional, kind, and recommended exactly what I needed. Didn't pressure nor prevaricate; didn't recommend unnecessary service beyond what insulation would help me achieve less draftiness. Crew finished early, left no mess, and the bill came in less than the estimate, yay! Communication was wonderful. read more

After freezing our first winter and cooking or first summer, I figured that it was time to check our insulation. I got lots of bids and they all said the same thing: our attic needed lots of insulation. Energy360 stood out from the rest of the bidders. Even though they weren't the lowest bid, they were very professional and polite (lots of the contractors seemed a bit shady). When it came time to do the work, they were punctual, cleaned up nicely, and did exactly what they promised to do (no last minute add-ons!). They were also very knowledgeable about the Energy Illinois rebate program. All in all, I was very satisfied. They predicted that I would make my money back in energy savings in four months. I will look forward to that! read more

Very professional, clean, friendly, always made sure they got back to me asap. Would recommend to anyone. They did 2 attics and a large crawl space all in one day. I moved into a new house and they made sure they tested it as if it was their own. No damage, and they cleaned up after themselves read more

My wife and I were incredibly impressed with Energy360 from start to finish. They were professional, communicative, and overall great people to work with. They did the work in a quick, professional manner, finishing in less time than we had expected. They did a great job at our old house, and we're looking forward to keeping much warmer this winter. We highly recommend them if you're looking to put insulation in! read more

Excellent service. Jim was great to work with...direct, honest and professional. The estimate was right on, and they did a great job on the day of. They were efficient and kept everything clean. Jim's response time was so quick each time I messaged him. Overall, a great job! read more

Would highly recommend Energy360. My attic was in need of insulation. They were very professional and punctual. Looking forward to a warmer house this winter/cooler house this summer and significant energy savings! Even my daughter has commented that the house is a lot less drafty now! read more

The guys at Energy360 simply ROCK! we originally called Energy360 because our house was cold and drafty. We thought we may need some insulation but weren't sure. The guys at Energy360 asked me a bunch of questions regarding the types of comfort issues we were having and they also asked about our energy bills. We decided to take a more encompassing approach to finding our issues by starting with an energy audit. The audit was incredible we learned so much about our house and where our energy was being lost. We found the source of our drafts which was a combination of a lack of insulation and air leaks around windows & doors. Energy360 fixed all of our issues and lowered or bills! Thank you energy360 for making our house more comfortable and lowering our bills. read more

Jim was great. I felt he listened to my questions and gave sound advice. He recommended solutions that didn't benefit his company, so I'd recommend his honest approach and guidance to anyone. read more

Great company. Professional service. Finished a big project in one day. Reasonably priced. Insulated an extra crawl space free of charge. Highly recommended. read more
