Reviews of Dr. Energy Saver Of Connecticut (Contractor)

Danielle Douglas

Total bait-and-switch. I should have been suspicious of the way the rep who came out to our house for an estimate insisted on going through the house listing potential projects, rather than focusing on the nursery as requested. But I let it go because the solution he offered to our insulation problem made the most sense. When he sent over the contract, I was quick to sign for what I believed was a reasonable price. But days later, after having my calls and emails ignored, the rep informed me that there was a minimum price---nearly three times what I was quoted for the job. He suggested I add on one of the other projects he had mentioned during the visit. How convenient. He promised to try to find some way to squeeze me in at the original price, but assured that adding more work to meet the minimum was the best way of getting the job done. I said no. And haven't heard back from him since. Disappointing to say the least, duplicitous at best.

Although the insulation was installed well I am left with a problem. When installing I was never told nor asked about stripping some electrical off my wall and now I am left with a dangerous electrical situation. I should have been given options and asked what I wanted done instead of them doing what they felt was fit. I hope they are willing to resolve this issue as soon as I hear back from them.

Always pleasant and helpful

I just worked with Dr Energy Saver to get insulation installed in my house. I would absolutely recommend them to any friends or family. From the beginning of the process through the final inspection, this company was a pleasure to work with. I would like to especially thank Keith Saunders and Johnny Lopez. Keith was beyond helpful while simply conduction the inspection and developing a quote. He really helped get me a service that was within my budget. Come installation day, Johnny was incredibly respectful and a pleasure to work with. Johnny ensured that everything was done right and the house was spotless after. Again I will absolutely be recommending this company to my friends and family.

Do not recommend this company. They won’t help you with your issues unless the project is more than $3,000. We just wanted our basement insulated but apparently that’s too small of a job for them.

Johnny was professional, friendly, and conscientious. I was grateful to him and his crew for being respectful of our home and of the fact that I was doing my own work around the house during the two-day insulation project. The clean-up was so thorough that it was like they had never been there! Our house now feels like we have a warm blanket over it. Thank you!

Johnny Lopez did a fantastic job of coordinating all of the work we had done. Despite a few hiccups along the way that all contracting jobs experience, Johnny kept us informed of the situation, excelling at insuring we were kept updated on all aspects of the job. His patience with our many questions, his attention to detail, and his enthusiasm in insuring the job was done correctly was exemplary. Also, every night, Johnny and his crew left the job site spotlessly clean. Johnny and his crew are very valuable members of your team.

Keith Saunders is great. Quick, to the point, got the job done right away with no issues. His crew did our 4 ft crawl space and it looks fantastic! Calling him for insulation now. Great company who truly cares about perfecting your home.

Ever since me moved into our house we wanted to improve its insulation. Our master bedroom was the worst, with three outside walls, an unheated garage below and vaulted ceilings. We called it our "summer bedroom" because we could not stay there for most of the winter and would retreat into one of the spare bedrooms after catching a first cold. On average it was 10 degrees colder than the rest of our house! Our vaulted ceiling had mold growing at the top. Twice I used my 12-ft step ladder to remove the mold with bleach and painted the ceiling with mildew- proof paint only to see the mold come back after 2..3 years. I thought it was happening due to condensation caused by poor insulation, but it turned out that the moist air was entering our bedroom through the ridge vent and vaulted ceiling ridge trim. This also explained cold winter drafts. We saw a lot of ads about spay foam insulation but were concerned about high price and also failed installations with nasty smell remaining in the house. Then, in May 2018 our house was struck by the tornado. A 100-year-old oak tree fell on our roof and went through the vaulted ceiling. We had to replace the ceiling sheetrock and decided to upgrade our old fiberglass bats with closed spray foam with 2x R-value. We contacted Dr. Enery Saver and scheduled an interview with their specialist. The price quote was reasonable. Knowing that they have 30 year experience of working with spray foam and every one of their employees goes through proper training to avoid pitfalls of improper foam installation gave us confidence in the company. Hence, we decided to sign a contract. The installation team was very professional and caring about not damaging our house. They covered all walking areas with cloth and even wore special booties on top of their regular boots as to not damage the hardwood floors. They covered the walls and floors with plastic to prevent them from being sprayed. After the job was finished, they removed all coverings and trash. When I returned to look at their work, I felt that a few areas were undersprayed and I called Dr. Energy Saver. There was no arguing or fighting: the team came out again, covered walls and floors with protective plastic just as meticulously as they did the first time and sprayed the foam where it was missing. To me, it's an indication that Dr. Energy Saver stands by its work not just on paper, but in practice. What about the spray foam itself? It's been a month and my bedroom has a new ceiling. It feels much warmer now, with temperature being within 2 degrees of the rest of my house. I feel no drafts at all because, in addition to having higher insulating R-value, the foam acts as a sealer. As a bonus, mice no longer roam inside the walls because the foam blocked their pathways. I'm pretty confident that my mold problem is also solved, since there is no way for moist air to enter through the ridge vent like it did before.

The crew of Clive Burrell, Milton Manning and Jaime Rivas were fantastic! They were on time, friendly, knowledgeable, clean and hard working. They went to great lengths to keep the living areas of our home clean as they went in and out. The crew was fast and efficient. Prior to having the work done, the rooms upstairs would get incredibly hot during the day and the A/C would run almost constantly trying to bring the temperature down. Since the work was completed the house has stayed much cooler and I have barely heard the A/C click on. Seems like the job is already saving me money!

I was at work today while Dwight Downer and his crew were at my house hard at work. My wife had all good things to say about the crew. Professional, courteous and very cordial when she was taking pictures for me. I got home, they were gone, my crawl space looks AWESOME. Looks very well sealed. very neat and clean. I'm impressed!

Henry Holly

Dwight Downer and his crew, David and Clive showed up on time and were professional through the task. They were informative and kept me involved through the task. When task was complete, the crew showed me the task and cleaned up my home. I would recommend Dr. Energy to my friends and family.

Dr Energy Saver took care of several projects around the house: Attic insulation, envelope sealing, exterior insulation under the overhangs, bathroom vents, and they even coordinated a pull-down attic door and new windows for me with Sunrise Window. We went from 4500 cfm of air movement before the work, to about 1,500cfm. My house is now draft-free; we rarely have to use AC or heat, and it's just a more comfortable and efficient home. Great work!

Disappointed, they state they are a better company, they will be on time, & will have the supplies and parts needed for the job. Our basement was originally assessed in October '18, eight weeks later in December '18 the crew arrived to insulate and replace the windows in the basement, no windows. We were promised a call to coordinate their return & that call never came. As the consumer I had to chase down a solid date, they arrive hours late, again I had to call to get a straight answer on when they were arriving, one window was the incorrect size after 2 different opportunities to measure correctly, once again they are unable to complete the job and will have to come out a third time. Poor communication, a bad call-center based system resulting in being passed to more than 5 people, my time and money wasted as I spend a whole day home waiting on them, we do not reccomend Dr. Energy Saver & will not be repeat customers.

Was promised I would receive a rebate of 2000$ for the insulation work done to my house. During the sale they reassured me that I would definitely receive the rebate. Once the work was done and the application submitted, the state of CT said they could not process my application. I would have never done the work without the rebate, and I was completely mislead so that they could make a lot of money with me (around 20000$ worth of work). This is incredibly unfair and I would avoid Dr. Energy saver.

Great job with our attic project. The crew was thorough and clean, and we've already seen a difference in our energy usage. The furnace doesn't run as much, and the whole house is quiet and comfortable.
